Supply vs. Demand - Peoria Absorption Rate

Conclusion

Peoria Illinois is still a strong seller's market. The inventory is very low, meaning there is more demand than homes for sale. This drives up prices and lowers the time it takes to sell your home. There have been fewer home sales in 2022 than in the previous two years, only because the number of homes listed for sale dropped 38% from last year and 40% from 2020. 

If you have been considering selling your Peoria property or home this is a great time to sell.
