A residential home in Kankakee that sold for $51,000 tops the list of the best real estate deals in Kankakee County in the past two weeks.
The property was among several transactions recorded during the week of Sept. 21, according to county records. The sale price made it the most affordable residential purchase in the area for that period.
Other notable sales included a home in Bourbonnais that changed hands for $185,000. In Bradley, a single-family house sold for $142,500. A property in Manteno fetched $210,000, while a residence in Momence went for $89,900.
The data reflects a mix of price points across the county. Buyers looking for entry-level homes found options under $100,000 in Kankakee and Momence. Mid-range properties in Bradley and Bourbonnais attracted families seeking more space. The higher end of the market saw activity in Manteno, where a home sold above $200,000.
Real estate agents note that late September often brings a slowdown in activity as the school year settles in and cooler weather approaches. However, this year's sales suggest steady demand across various communities. Inventory remains a factor, with some areas seeing multiple offers on well-priced homes.
The $51,000 sale in Kankakee stands out as the lowest price among the reported transactions. It highlights that affordable housing opportunities still exist in the county, even as prices in some neighboring towns climb. For buyers with flexible budgets, the region offers a range of choices from modest starter homes to larger family residences.
