Peoria IL 2026 Market Data: Reviewed Redfin and Zillow Labels
The Peoria page now separates exact-city Redfin data, Zillow Research context, county proxy data, and source-gated legal/tax paths.
Reviewed data points
- • Redfin Data Center exact Peoria, IL city row: $142,926 median sale price, 395 homes sold, 31 median days on market.
- • Redfin exact-city listing context: 734 active listings, 482 new listings, 494 pending sales.
- • Zillow Research city ZHVI: $132,671 through Apr. 30, 2026.
- • Zillow city inventory/new listings: 333 inventory and 125 new listings through Apr. 30, 2026.
- • Legal, tax, probate, foreclosure, deed, title, lien, and recording claims remain SOURCE_GATE_ONLY unless property-specific records and legal review support them.
Fact 1: Exact-city Redfin data is the primary Peoria transaction source
The reviewed packet uses Redfin Data Center monthly all_cities.csv for the exact Peoria, IL city row. That matters because Peoria County, Redfin public-page snapshots, and similarly named places are not interchangeable with exact-city Peoria data.
For the rolling 3-month period from Feb. 1-Apr. 30, 2026, last updated May 3, 2026, Redfin's exact Peoria city row shows a $142,926 median sale price, 395 homes sold, 31 median days on market, a 97.04% average sale-to-list ratio, 21.76% sold above original list, 734 active listings, 482 new listings, and 494 pending sales.
Fact 2: Zillow Research is useful, but each metric needs its own label
Zillow Research city ZHVI for Peoria was $132,671 through Apr. 30, 2026, up 6.89% year over year. Zillow city for-sale inventory was 333 and city new listings were 125 through the same Apr. 30, 2026 period.
Zillow city median sale price is different: it lagged to Mar. 31, 2026, with a $114,000 value. That metric should not be substituted for Redfin's current exact-city transaction row without a clear one-month lag label.
Fact 3: County and legal paths are context, not property-specific proof
Redfin Peoria County data is available as county context: the April 2026 county row shows a $144,596 median sale price, 232 homes sold, 26 median days on market, 629 active listings, and 286 new listings. The packet labels this COUNTY_PROXY_NOT_CITY_REPLACEMENT because exact Peoria city data is available.
The packet also confirms official source paths for Peoria County Land Records, recording forms, Illinois MyDec/PTAX-203 transfer declarations, the property-tax inquiry, probate records, and foreclosure-sale notices. Those paths help sellers know where to verify facts, but transaction-specific tax, deed, title, lien, probate, foreclosure, and closing-cost claims still need official records and legal review.
What this means for Peoria sellers
A cash offer is not a replacement for source-backed records or legal advice. It is a practical option for sellers who want to avoid repairs, showings, agent commissions, financing contingencies, and listing uncertainty while they work through title, tax, probate, foreclosure, or recording details.
