Selling a house in North Aurora
North Aurora is a Kane County village of about 18,300 people that straddles the Fox River and touches Aurora, Batavia, Blackberry and Sugar Grove townships. Aurora wraps around it to the south and east, and Batavia sits to the north. I-88 runs along the south edge with two interchanges nearby, and Route 31, known in town as Lincolnway, follows the west bank of the river.
The village began in 1834 as Schneider’s Mill, or Schneider’s Crossing, after John Peter Schneider built a mill and dam on the Fox. The 1880 census was the first to call it North Aurora, and it incorporated in 1905. Riverfront Park now sits along the water near the old mill site, and the Fox River Trail runs through town on its way between Aurora and Batavia.
Growth came in two big waves. North Aurora went from about 900 people in 1950 to 4,800 by 1970, which brought ranches, split-levels and modest two-stories near the river. A second wave between 1990 and 2010 nearly tripled the population and added subdivisions such as Tanner Trails, Moose Lake Estates, Pine Creek, Oak Hill and Chesterfield, plus townhomes near I-88 and Randall Road.
A North Aurora house built in the 2000s and kept up will usually do well on the market, and we’d tell you that. We’re a better match for a 1960s house with dated systems, a split-level where the lower level takes on water, a townhome with dues owed, a rental, or an estate that needs to be settled.
What to expect
Tell us about the house and an offer comes back within 24 hours. We schedule one walk-through and show you the figures behind our price. The closing date is up to you, the signing happens at a title office near you, and the ordinary seller costs are paid by us.
What to know before you sell in North Aurora
- No village transfer tax. ATG lists none, and North Aurora isn’t on the Chicago Title list. The state and Kane County taxes total 75 cents per $500, and selling to us means we pay them.
- Final water reading. The village requires a final reading, and the water bill must be paid. The title company handles both at closing.
- No resale inspection listed. ATG shows no pre-transfer inspection for the village, which the title company verifies.
- Near the river. Some lots close to the Fox River sit in mapped flood areas. A buyer with a loan may be required to carry flood insurance. Our offer is cash, so that requirement isn’t part of our deal.
- Taxes in arrears. Kane County’s bills cover the prior year. This year’s portion is credited to the buyer on the settlement statement and comes off the sale price.
- Probate. Estates in Kane County are filed at the judicial center in Geneva. Executors can sign a contract with us and close when the court gives approval.
- Townhome associations. Townhome associations provide a dues letter, and the title company pays any balance from the sale.
Requirements change, and the title company checks the current ones before you sign. If anything comes up, we deal with it.
