Loves Park, IL Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For

If you invest in or around Loves Park, the number that matters is what homes actually close for, not what sellers are asking. Here is what Loves Park sale prices look like right now, built from the closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, as of September 2026.

The snapshot

  • Closings tracked, last 6 months: 206
  • Median sold price, last 6 months: $196,750
  • Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $142
  • Middle half of sales closed between: $163,900 and $285,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 206 closed sales in Loves Park over the last six months, with a median closing price of $196,750. 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 $163,900 and $285,000. 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 204 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $123 and $171 per square foot.

How long a sale takes here

  • Listed to under contract: a median of 6 days, across 141 Loves Park closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
  • Contract to closing: a median of 29 days, across 139 Loves Park closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
Both are measured from the closings themselves, not from listing inventory. Each sale is timed using its own listing and contract dates. That is why these counts are smaller than the 206 closings above: a sale is counted here only when we hold both of its dates.

The Loves Park angle

The one asymmetry worth using is the shape of the band. Sales above $196,750 spread further from it than sales below it do, so the upper part of the middle range is the looser side. Practically, that means a comp above the midpoint carries a wider margin of error than one below it, and a set built mostly from higher priced closings inherits that looseness. Weight matched size and condition over proximity in price, and check whether your comps straddle the midpoint or sit on one side of it.

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 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 Loves Park address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

How many homes sold in Loves Park last month?

What is the typical sale price range in Loves Park?

What is the typical price per square foot in Loves Park?

Among qualifying Loves Park closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, the median sold price per square foot was $142, measured across 204 sales with usable living area. Median is used rather than average because outliers distort the mean.

What makes one comp better than another in Loves Park?

Match quality, not price similarity. A comp that shares property type, square footage and condition tells you something about your subject even if its sale price surprises you. A comp chosen because its price looks right tells you nothing. Once the set is matched, check its spread: sales above $196,750 sit further from it than those below, so an upper weighted set carries more internal variation. Recency matters too, since only closed sales in the tracked window reflect what buyers actually paid.
