About Antioch IL Real Estate
Antioch sits at the top of Lake County, right where the Chain O’Lakes begins, with a classic downtown and forest preserves all around. It offers a little bit of everything, from cozy older homes to newer neighborhoods. If you’re thinking about buying here, here’s what the market looks like right now, and what I’d want you to know as your agent and cheerleader.

Antioch is a seller’s market, and homes are moving very quickly.

What this means for you as a buyer: With homes going in about nine days, get pre-approved before you start touring, and be ready to act when the right home comes along. I’ll help you know when to move fast and when it’s okay to negotiate.
What’s selling
Three-bedroom homes lead the way, making up about half of recent sales, with plenty of 2- and 4-bedroom options too.
- A wide range of prices: Recent sales ran from under $200,000 to over $500,000, so there’s room for first-time buyers and move-up buyers alike.
- A mix of home ages: Many homes sold recently were 60 to 80 years old, with plenty of character, and many others were built in the last 20 to 30 years.
- Size options: Recent sales ranged from cozy homes under 1,000 square feet to homes over 2,200 square feet.
- Price per square foot: Most homes sold for $150 to $250 per square foot.
About three-quarters of Antioch homes are owner-occupied, and the median home is about 43 years old. With older homes, a good inspection matters.
