Selling a house in Warrenville
Warrenville is a DuPage County city of about 13,500 people in Winfield and Naperville townships. Wheaton is to the northeast, Naperville to the south and Fermilab to the west. I-88 runs along the south side of the city, and downtown is at Butterfield Road (Route 56) and Batavia Road. The nearest Metra stops are in Naperville and Wheaton.
Julius Warren settled on the West Branch of the DuPage River in 1833. Warren built an inn and tavern in 1838 that still stands and was renovated in 2002. From 1902 until the late 1950s, the Chicago Aurora and Elgin Railroad served the town. Warrenville became a city in 1967 after six tries. Cantera, built on a former limestone quarry, holds offices, hotels, restaurants and a movie theater, and Warrenville Grove and McDowell Woods forest preserves border the river.
The 2020 Census counted about 5,300 housing units. Subdivisions such as Summerlakes and Fox Hollow on the west side were built next to Fermilab starting in the mid-1970s. Others include Warrenville Lakes, Timber Creek, Saddle Ridge, Thornwilde, Edgebrook, River Oaks and Maple Hill. On the east side, the Forest Preserve area has homes on wooded lots of an acre or more. There are townhomes and some older homes near the original downtown as well.
A Warrenville house that’s been kept current usually sells well with an agent, and we’ll tell you that. We’re a better fit for a 1970s or 1980s home with its original kitchen and baths, a townhome with an assessment coming, a house near the river with water issues, an estate sale, or a move that has a fixed date. We also buy rentals with tenants in place.
What to expect
Once we’ve walked through the house, a cash offer follows within 24 hours, with the sales and repair numbers we used. You decide when to close. The closing is held at a local title company, and the normal closing costs are ours.
What to know before you sell in Warrenville
- No city transfer tax listed. Warrenville isn’t on the title-company charts of towns with a transfer tax. Illinois (50 cents per $500) and DuPage County (25 cents per $500) stamps still apply, and we pay them.
- Final water bill. If the house is on city water, the title company asks for a final reading and the last bill is paid from the sale.
- Property taxes in arrears. In DuPage County, the bill you pay this year is for last year. The buyer is credited at closing for the months you’ve owned the house this year.
- HOA and townhome letters. Subdivisions and townhome complexes with associations provide a paid-assessment letter. Anything owed is settled at closing.
- River and flood areas. Some homes near the West Branch of the DuPage River are in mapped flood areas. We factor that in. Nothing has to be repaired before the sale.
- Probate in Wheaton. For a DuPage County resident, the estate goes through the courthouse in Wheaton. The executor signs with us once appointed.
Before closing, the title company confirms what Warrenville requires for your address, and we take care of each item.
