Selling a house in Bloomingdale
Bloomingdale is a village of about 22,400 people in Bloomingdale Township, in northern DuPage County. Roselle borders it to the north, Glendale Heights and Carol Stream to the south, and Hanover Park to the west. Lake Street, which follows the old Chicago-Galena road, runs through the village, along with Army Trail Road and Gary Avenue. Pace buses connect to Wheaton.
Settlers arrived in 1833 at a spot called Meacham’s Grove, and the village was platted in 1845. It was a trading center and a stop on the Chicago-to-Rockford stage line. In 1873, local landowners gave land to the railroad for a station, with Bloomingdale platted south of the stop and Roselle to the north. Bloomingdale incorporated in 1889, and the two villages split in the early 1920s.
Development stayed slow until the 1950s. Between 1950 and 1980 the village grew fast, helped by the new toll roads, and Stratford Square and other shopping centers came in the 1970s and later. So most of Bloomingdale’s roughly 9,300 homes date from the 1960s onward: ranches, split-levels and two-story houses in subdivisions, plus townhomes and condos. Old Town Bloomingdale, at Lake Street and Bloomingdale Road, marks where the first settlement stood.
Many Bloomingdale houses in good condition sell without much trouble through an agent, and if yours is one of them, that’s what we’ll suggest. A cash sale fits better when a house is 40 or 50 years into its original finishes, when a townhome needs everything, when you’ve inherited a property, or when you need a fixed closing date.
What to expect
Here’s how it goes. We schedule one visit. By the next day you’ll have our cash number, plus the comparable sales and repair estimates that shaped it. You tell us the closing date. We sign at a title office in the area and pay the regular closing costs.
What to know before you sell in Bloomingdale
- No village transfer tax. ATG’s ordinance records list none for Bloomingdale, and it isn’t on Chicago Title’s transfer tax chart.
- State and county stamps. A 50-cents-per-$500 state stamp and a 25-cents-per-$500 DuPage stamp go on every deed. In a sale to us, both are on our side of the ledger.
- Water meter. Bloomingdale takes one last meter reading ahead of closing, and the title company pays the final bill from the sale.
- Association letters. Townhome and condo associations confirm your dues are current. Any balance is settled at closing.
- Prorated taxes. DuPage taxes for this year won’t be billed until next year. The title company calculates your share and credits it to the buyer.
- Probate. A DuPage County estate is opened at the courthouse in Wheaton. The executor signs with us after the court grants authority.
Ahead of closing day, the title company reviews Bloomingdale’s current rules, and we handle anything on that list.

Bloomingdale’s split-levels and two-stories from the 1970s and 1980s are reaching the age when roofs, windows, furnaces and kitchens all come due around the same time. If you’d rather not take that on before selling, we’ll show you how our number compares to what you’d net after the work.
Selling a Bloomingdale townhome or condo
If you own a townhome or condo in Bloomingdale, the association is part of the sale. It issues a letter showing your assessments are current, and any unpaid dues or special assessment is settled from the sale. Some associations also have rules on leasing or approval of buyers, which can slow a listing.
We buy attached homes in any condition, including units with original kitchens, worn carpet or water damage from a neighbor’s unit. Send us the association’s name and your monthly assessment, and we’ll factor it into the offer.

Yes. Dated kitchens and baths are common in Bloomingdale, and we build the cost of updating them into the offer.

Roughly three weeks from a signed contract. Later works too.
