Du Quoin housing market update: values, inventory, and rents
Du Quoin, IL – March 4, 2026 – Home values show a slight year-over-year dip while sale prices vary; inventory is limited and rents remain low.
Du Quoin, IL – March 4, 2026 – Recent housing indicators in Du Quoin (Perry County) are sending mixed signals. Online estimates suggest typical values are modestly lower than a year ago, while the most recent closed-sale snapshot points to higher prices—based on a very small number of transactions. Taken together, it’s a market where a few sales can shift the monthly picture, and shoppers may want to rely on more than one data point when sizing up the trend.
Top takeaways
- Typical home value: about $101K, down roughly 3.5% year over year (Zillow).
- Recent sale snapshot: Redfin’s most recent month shows a $170K median sale price and about 89 days on market, reflecting a thin sales sample.
- Rents: average apartment rent is about $432 per month as of Feb. 2026 .
Market snapshot
On the for-sale side, Zillow’s market page reported 20 homes in inventory as of Jan. 31, 2026. Meanwhile, Zillow’s active search currently shows about two dozen listings. That combination suggests buyers may have some choice across price points, but the overall pool is still limited—especially compared with larger nearby markets where turnover and selection tend to be deeper.
Because the sales sample can be small, month-to-month results like median sale price and days on market can swing. Watching inventory, listing mix, and how quickly homes are going pending may be a useful way to track momentum alongside the headline numbers.
What’s for sale (no addresses)
- Entry-level: small 2-bed homes around $25K–$30K.
- Mid-range: 3-bed homes around the mid-$80Ks.
- Upper end: larger homes listed around $312K–$370K.
