Thinking of selling your home in Downers Grove? Here’s what you need to know about where the market stands as of mid-September 2025—and what it means for your bottom line.
📈 Home Values Are Up, But Buyers Are Getting Picky
The typical home value in Downers Grove is now around $479,000, up approximately 6.4% over the past year. While this is great news for equity, we are seeing buyers become more selective. Days on market have increased to around 21 days, a 24% jump from the previous month.
That means homes still sell—and often near asking—but pricing and presentation are more important than ever.
🏡 Inventory Is Stable, Not Overcrowded
We’ve seen about 87 new listings in the past 30 days, with 162 active listings total. That’s keeping competition moderate for sellers—not too crowded, but not red-hot either.
Around 66 homes sold in the last 30 days, with an average sale price around $528,000. Most sellers are still getting 100% or more of their asking price when they price correctly.
⚠️ What Sellers Need to Know Right Now
- Overpricing = longer days on market. Price slightly below your neighborhood’s highest comp to attract strong offers.
- Presentation matters more in this slower season. Staging, upgrades, and pro photography help.
- List sooner than later—inventory typically tightens as fall goes on, and serious buyers are still active right now.
