Elgin & the Fox Valley Market Report — IL Home Values
Elgin & the Fox Valley together cover about 41,500 homes, 68% of them owner-occupied, with a median year built of 1985. Kane County along the Fox River, the northwest edge of Blake's service area and the market where a buyer's dollar goes furthest. Far-west Elgin around Bowes Creek is newer construction on golf-course and prairie parcels, while the older river neighborhoods hold Victorian and craftsman stock at prices that would be impossible in DuPage. The trade is distance: this is a car-first market with a longer run to the city.
The Elgin & the Fox Valley median sold price stands at $329,500 as of July 2026, +3.6% year over year. The twelve-month peak was $333,500 in May 2026. 570 homes closed over the period, averaging 100.4% of list price most recently, with 26 days on market.
Read the trend, not the single month. Elgin & the Fox Valley pricing follows preparation and seasonality more than it follows rate news, and the spread between prepared and unprepared homes is wider than the median suggests.
