Two Solid Closings: Lake in the Hills Sells for $442K, Huntley Closes at $550K

Two more McHenry County closings on the books this week, and neither one is a fire sale — which, in this market, is exactly the kind of boring good news worth paying attention to.

No drama here, just two ordinary residential closings that quietly tell you what buyers are still willing to pay in our corner of the map.

Lake in the Hills: $442,000 on Parc Court

A residential property at 761 Parc Court in Lake in the Hills changed ownership on July 8 for $442,000. Nothing flashy, just a solid single-family sale that clears the county's typical price band without breaking a sweat — proof that Lake in the Hills continues to hold its own as a steady, family-friendly option for buyers priced out of closer-in suburbs.

Huntley: $550,000 closes the books

Over in Huntley, a residential home closed for $550,000, per Shaw Local's real estate roundup. Huntley's been on a nice run this year — the town keeps showing up in these closing reports at prices that reflect genuine demand, not desperation pricing, and $550K is a healthy number for the area.

What this means for you

Closed sales like these are the truest signal in real estate — asking prices are opinions, closed prices are facts. Two solid closings at reasonable numbers, in two different NW suburb towns, in the same week, tells me buyer appetite out here hasn't cooled off, even with everything happening on rates and rents elsewhere. If you're weighing whether to list this fall, numbers like these are your green light.

Steady closings, steady prices, steady me reminding you that boring is a compliment in this business.
