🏡 PAAR Weekly Market Update | August 23–29, 2026

The Peoria-area market saw more homes hit the market this week, while buyer activity remained steady and inventory continued to grow.

• New Listings: 146 (↑7% vs. last week, ↑35% vs. 2025)
• Pendings: 117 (↓3% vs. last week, ↑17% vs. 2025)
• Showings: 1,094 (↑1% vs. last week, ↑2% vs. 2025)
• Sold Homes: 103 (↓9% vs. last week, ↓18% vs. 2025)
• Average Days on Market: 32
• Weekly Solds as % of New Listings: 71%
• Net Inventory Change: +43

What this means: More inventory is becoming available, with new listings up an impressive 35% compared to this time last year. Buyer activity is holding steady, and pending sales remain well ahead of 2025. With inventory growing and homes spending a little more time on the market, buyers may have more options and negotiating room—while sellers will want to pay close attention to pricing and presentation.

Wondering how these market changes could affect your next move? We're here to help!

🏡 Staging: Turning a House Into a Home ✨

First impressions matter—and staging helps buyers imagine themselves living in your home from the moment they walk through the door.

✨ Why Staging Works:

🛋️ Highlights Your Home's Best Features
Thoughtful furniture placement and décor make each space feel inviting and functional.

📸 Creates Better Listing Photos
A beautifully staged home stands out online and attracts more buyer interest.

🏡 Helps Buyers Visualize Living There
A warm, welcoming atmosphere makes it easier for buyers to picture the home as their own.

💰 Can Increase Buyer Interest
Well-presented homes often attract more showings, stronger offers, and, in some markets, may sell for more than similar unstaged homes.

💡 Staging isn't about decorating—it's about showcasing your home's full potential.

📩 Thinking about selling? The Kepple Real Estate Group can help you prepare your home to make a memorable first impression and maximize its market appeal.

🏡 First-Time Homebuyer Tips for a Smooth Journey 🔑

Buying your first home is exciting—and a little preparation can make the process much less stressful.

✅ Schedule a Professional Home Inspection
A qualified inspector can help identify potential issues before you close, giving you a clearer picture of the home's condition.

📍 Get to Know the Neighborhood
Visit at different times of the day, explore nearby amenities, and make sure the community fits your lifestyle.

💰 Budget for More Than the Mortgage
Remember to plan for closing costs, moving expenses, utilities, and other upfront costs that come with homeownership.

🛠️ Plan for Ongoing Maintenance
Every home requires routine upkeep and occasional repairs, so it's wise to set aside funds for future maintenance.

🛡️ Consider a Home Warranty
Depending on the home and your situation, a home warranty may help cover certain repairs to major systems and appliances during the warranty period.

💡 The more prepared you are before buying, the more confident you'll feel throughout the process—and long after you receive the keys.

📩 Ready to take the first step toward homeownership? The Kepple Real Estate Group is here to guide you from your first showing to closing day.
