🤯 60+% Increase in Value in Champaign County Homes!

Champaign County’s housing market is unique compared to many areas of the country. Because of the University of Illinois, we see a high rate of property turnover as students, faculty, and staff cycle in and out of our community. This transient nature means that home values historically haven’t surged at the same pace as some less transient markets, where longer-term ownership drives sharper appreciation.

But here’s the important part: over time, the trend tells a powerful story. Back in January 2015, the average sales price for a single-family home in Champaign County was about $169,458. As of August 2025, that number has climbed to $271,364—a 60.13% increase over the last 10 years, averaging nearly 5% growth per year.

That steady growth has been driven by factors like historically low interest rates in recent years, strong local employment through the university and healthcare systems, and a consistently competitive housing supply. Even in a market with frequent turnover, long-term homeowners in Champaign County have seen significant gains in property value.

The homes in the graphic below bring this story to life. None of these properties had major renovations, yet each seller walked away with impressive gains—ranging from nearly 40% to over 60%—thanks to the timing of the market and steady local appreciation.
