Selling a house in Lake County, Illinois
Lake County has three very different housing markets. Along the lakefront, Waukegan, North Chicago and Zion have older brick and frame houses, many needing significant work. The North Shore towns are among the priciest in the state. Out west, Fox Lake, Antioch, Round Lake and Lake Villa have former summer cottages turned year-round homes, many on small lots near the Chain O’Lakes, plus 1990s subdivisions.
The houses we buy most often here are the ones that are hard to sell the usual way: cottages with old wells or septic systems, houses with years of deferred maintenance, inherited homes and rentals.
Local details
Lake County is the 19th Judicial Circuit, with estates and foreclosures handled at the courthouse in Waukegan. Some properties in the western part of the county have private wells and septic systems; we buy them without the inspections or repairs a lender would require.
