Local market

The Sycamore Market Up Close

Sycamore consistently draws buyers who want the historic district feel, walkable downtown and strong schools. Updated homes along Somonauk Street and near the DeKalb County Courthouse can move quickly at retail prices.

The picture changes for homes that haven't been modernized. Plaster walls, original wiring, single-pane windows and steep older staircases scare off financed buyers and inspectors, even when the house is structurally sound. Those are exactly the homes we like.

Sycamore also has a steady flow of estate sales, as long-time residents pass homes to adult children who live elsewhere. A direct sale spares out-of-town heirs repeated trips for showings, cleanouts and contractor bids.
