What the numbers say
Resideline tracked 219 closed sales in Gurnee over the last six months, with a median closing price of $399,000. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $269,000 and $500,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. Across the 215 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $169 and $217 per square foot.

The Gurnee angle
Familiar does not mean forgiving. A typical band still puts real distance between the ends of the middle half, and half of all closings sit outside it. $399,000 is the middle sale of the whole city, which makes it a stable comparison figure and a weak proxy for any individual address. That discipline is where accuracy comes from.
From market read to offer price
A market read is the backdrop. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator, rehab cost estimator, BRRRR calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.
And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.
Run any Gurnee address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

The local market statistics in this report are calculated from closed sales tracked by Resideline. Transaction coverage may differ from complete county or municipal records.
Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Gurnee over the last six months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track within the Gurnee city limits are not limited to listing-service sales: they also include foreclosure deeds, estate and family transfers, and other off-market sales that portal medians exclude, which is why 21% of the 219 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $405,000.

What is the typical price per square foot in Gurnee?

Why do online estimates for the same house disagree with each other?
Mostly because they choose different comparable sales and weight them differently. In a market like Gurnee, where the middle half of closings covers a typical but real distance, swapping one comp for another moves the answer. Tools also differ in how they treat condition, which public records describe poorly. The way to judge between them is to look at the sales each one used: matched property type, similar size, similar condition and recent closings should win over a set chosen mainly for proximity.
