Naperville and a cluster of Chicago suburbs muscled their way to the front of last week’s $400,000 closing parade across DuPage and Cook counties. The headline deals cut across single-family homes, townhomes, and condos, proving that the same price tag can buy very different lifestyles depending on where you plant your flag. Public filings and MLS entries show most of these sales actually closed in mid- to late April, then surfaced in the batch that fed the May 4 recording window.
According to Shaw Local, the standout was a Naperville address at 1710 Coach Drive that hit the books at a reported $400,000. The list is an automated United Robots compilation based on titles recorded during the week of May 4, so the formal recording dates do not always align neatly with the MLS closing dates that buyers and agents are watching in real time.
Top Closings And What They Cost
MLS records show the Naperville unit at 1710 Coach Drive closed for about $400,000 and spans roughly 1,640 square feet, per Redfin. In the city, a Chicago ranch at 3847 N Oketo Ave landed in the same price neighborhood at around $400,000, with about 1,200 square feet and a price-per-foot in the low $300s, according to Realtor.com. Other $400,000 closings on the roster included properties in Harwood Heights and Des Plaines, underscoring how one round number can translate into very different homes across the suburban map.
What The Weekly Snapshot Shows
Shaw Local puts the combined DuPage and Cook snapshot at an average sale price of $466,944 and $267 per square foot across 1,607 recorded residential deals for the period. The roundup filters for sales between $100,000 and $400,000 to spotlight perceived bargains, which goes a long way toward explaining the logjam of $400,000 entries crowding the top of the list.
How Buyers Should Read The Numbers
County market pages put Cook County’s median sale price in the high $300,000s as of April, so these $400,000 transactions sit a bit above the county midpoint but still reflect a suburban mix that typically offers more space, per Redfin. For buyers, the takeaway is that the list price is just the first headline. Price-per-square-foot, the year the home was built and overall condition all matter when you stack up options in different municipalities.
Anyone who wants to drill down on specific sales can check county deed records or MLS entries to confirm exact closing and recording dates. This summary simply knits together the Shaw Local roundup and MLS information to show where buyers appeared to find value in the batch of deals that ultimately fed the May 4 recording cycle.
