Week of Sept. 28: Best residential property deals in La Salle County

October 10, 2026 - 22:55

A single-family home in Ottawa that sold for $155,000 tops the list of the best real estate deals in La Salle County in the past week. The property, located on the city's east side, drew attention for its combination of size and price in a market where inventory has remained tight through the fall.

Several other transactions rounded out the week's activity. In Peru, a three-bedroom house changed hands for $142,500, while a ranch-style home in Marseilles closed at $128,000. Oglesby saw a sale at $119,900, and a two-story property in Streator fetched $97,500. Each of these sales reflected steady demand from buyers looking to settle in the region before winter.

Local agents note that well-maintained homes priced under $160,000 continue to move quickly, often drawing multiple offers within days of listing. Higher interest rates have cooled some segments of the market, but entry-level and mid-range properties remain competitive. Sellers who price realistically are still finding buyers, though the pace has slowed compared to the spring rush.

The week's activity suggests that La Salle County's housing market is holding its ground as autumn progresses. With fewer listings expected in the coming months, buyers who act now may have a narrower set of choices, but opportunities remain for those ready to move.
