Quick look at Downers Grove single family home prices

I've been helping our city clients look for a home in Downers Grove. If they must leave I'm appreciative and excited to help them secure a great house. The Downers Grove landscape varies greatly. Ideally they will find a house within walking distance or easy bike ride to a Metra station. Those houses are often smaller and/ or more expensive per square foot. The sprawling suburb also offers large lot homes in less dense areas throughout the village. Somewhere in the middle are relatively affordable three bedrooms home in traditional post war sub-divisions. These tend to be locations more dependent on cars.

Downers Grove closed single family homes January 1st to May 8th

- 158 single family homes closed this year to date in Downers Grove with a median price of $590,000. Median price is up 20% over same period last year. Unit sales were up ten home over same period last year.

This newer construction home located near downtown featured a large 50' x 178' lot and over 5,000 square feet of living space including the basement. "Having it all" will cost yo over $370.00 per sq/ft of higher-end finished space.

Lincoln Square median home prices just took a big jump (34%)

Having lived in and near Chicago's Lincoln Square for more than three decades, I’ve witnessed its evolution firsthand. While the neighborhood's retail and demographic history is a story in itself, what stands out most is the dramatic surge in single-family home prices. It’s a trend I experience yearly, yet the sheer scale of the increase continues to astonish both me and my longtime neighbors.

Over same period of January 1s to May 1st, Lincoln Square single family home median price has increased $950,000 to about $1.3M (almost a 34% increase year over year!). This is the biggest jump we've seen over the past seven years by far. My guess is it will hold up by year's end.

New construction speculation homes in Lincoln Square continue to push price records. In 2026 so far one home has closed over $3M with three more under contract. This will make it a record year with seven months to go. 

Out of 80 homes sold over 2025, eight homes were sold over $2 million and two homes were sold over $3 million.  In 2024, eight homes sold for over $2 million with one over $3 million. In 2023 only four homes sold for over $2 million and none over 3 million. We also see smaller lot homes (37'x123) achieve over $3M in 2026. In the past the homes selling over $2M and $3M were on larger double lots (50' wide)  or wide and longer (175' long as opposed to standard 125' long). This year we already have a $3M sale on a 37'x123' lot.

Sold! Lincoln Square penthouse condo with full roof deck $950,000

We recently helped our client purchase a top floor new construction condo in Lincoln Square. Our downsizing couple wanted a top floor unit in an elevator building; "the best". With little re-sale inventory available in the area we turned to buildings in development.  We were able to view and secure the three bedrooms, two baths home with full rooftop deck the day it hit the open market.  The eight residential units at 2405 West Sunnyside sold out quickly. 

Our clients appreciated the finish level and design.  They did not have to pick anything out... a plus for them. The developer and listing agents worked with us on several important modifications to accommodate the buyers.

The unit features a full side roof deck with interior staircase and dry bar on the landing. The park and surrounding views are unobstructed with a clear shot of the Chicago skyline. Although we conducted the final walk-through on a rainy morning I still spent a few moments up there!
