Selling a house in Dixmoor
Dixmoor takes up about one square mile of Cook County and had roughly 3,000 residents in the 2020 Census. Its neighbors are Blue Island on the north, Riverdale on the east, Harvey on the south and Posen on the west. Interstate 57 passes through the village, while the Little Calumet River traces its northern edge. Pace routes 349 and 354 connect Dixmoor with the rest of the Southland.
Charles Special laid out the village in 1922, which is why it was first called Specialville. It incorporated in 1923 and switched to the name Dixmoor in 1929, possibly after the Dixie Highway. Land use today is a fairly even split between industrial and residential, with a few small pockets of stores.
Census counts show about 1,300 housing units, mostly single-family homes, many of them decades old. Houses on the north side, closer to the river, carry more flood exposure, and the county’s hazard plan says a good number of Dixmoor homes have taken water in heavy rain. The village also runs on a combined sewer system, which can back up in big storms.
A large share of what we buy is south and southwest of the city, and Dixmoor sits in the middle of that territory. If the house is move-in ready, listing it could pay more, and we’ll say so. We’re useful for water-damaged or neglected houses, rentals with tenants, properties with liens or unpaid taxes, and heirs who don’t want to run a sale from far away.
What to expect
It moves quickly. A cash offer reaches you within 24 hours of the first call. We tour the house once, side by side, and walk you through how we priced it. Closing happens at a nearby title office on the day you choose, and we take on the normal closing costs.
What to know before you sell in Dixmoor
- No Dixmoor stamp listed. Dixmoor isn’t on Chicago Title’s current transfer tax chart. What’s left is the Illinois tax of 50 cents per $500 plus Cook County’s 25 cents, and both are paid by us on a sale to us.
- Village charges. The title company asks Dixmoor’s village hall about the final water bill and any other amounts tied to the property, then pays them out of the sale.
- Little Calumet floodplain. Some north-side lots sit in the river’s mapped floodplain. The title company’s flood determination shows it. A lender would make a financed buyer carry flood insurance there. We don’t need a lender.
- Liens and unpaid taxes. Judgments, liens and delinquent taxes show up in the title search and are cleared at closing from your proceeds, so nothing is due from you beforehand.
- One year behind on tax bills. Cook County bills in arrears. Expect a closing credit to the buyer for the unbilled part of this year.
- Dixmoor estates. Cook County probate cases go through the Daley Center. Your executor can sign with us now. The closing waits for court approval.
Dixmoor doesn’t always post its requirements online. The title company checks them against your parcel, and whatever is required, we take care of.

Many Dixmoor homes show decades of wear, and some north-side houses sit close to the river. A lender will pull the flood map, and an inspector will study the basement. If either could cause trouble, get our number before you spend money on fixes.

Dixmoor FAQ
Does Dixmoor charge a transfer tax?
Dixmoor doesn’t appear on Chicago Title’s transfer tax list. The state and county taxes apply, and we pay them.
Would you buy a house near the Little Calumet River?
Yes, flooded or not. Tell us about the water history, and we’ll account for it.
My house has open code violations. Can I still sell to you?
In most cases, yes. Mention them up front, and the title company will confirm if anything has to be cleared before closing.
Do I have to be in Illinois to sell?
No. Many sellers sign from another state with a local notary, and the title company wires the proceeds.
The house is still in a late relative’s name. What now?
Usually a Cook County probate case comes first. The executor can sign our contract during the case, and the sale closes once a judge approves it.
From offer to closing, how long does a Dixmoor sale take?
Typically 2–3 weeks once title is clear, or a later date you choose.
