Lemont market snapshot

Lemont Home Prices and Market Trends

Lemont’s overall market provides useful context, but luxury, acreage, and new-construction properties can trade well outside the villagewide range.

For the three months ending August 2026, Redfin reported a $553,634 median sale price, up 1.3% year over year. Homes spent a median 50 days on market, the median price per square foot was $254, and the sale-to-list ratio was 99.0%. About 34% of sales closed above list price.

Zillow uses a different methodology. As of August 31, 2026, its typical Lemont home value was $591,883, up 7.5% year over year, with 75 homes for sale, 31 new listings, a $674,600 median list price, and roughly 10 days to pending.

Market Indicator	Current Lemont Reference
Median sale price	$553,634
Median price per sq. ft.	$254
Median days on market	50
Sale-to-list ratio	99.0%
Zillow typical value	$591,883
Zillow median list price	$674,600

These figures should be treated as context, not a pricing shortcut. A custom estate, one-acre property, new build, and traditional resale should be compared with recent sales that resemble the actual home.

Upper-end property types

Luxury, Acreage and New Construction Homes in Lemont

The upper end of Lemont’s market is meaningfully different from the villagewide median. Current public inventory includes large custom residences, homes on one acre or more, newer construction, and properties approaching or exceeding $1.5 million.

Luxury and Custom Homes

Buyers searching for luxury homes for sale in Lemont IL can find substantial custom residences with larger floor plans, multiple garages, finished lower levels, premium outdoor spaces, and more individualized architecture. Late-September public listings illustrate the range. Realtor.com shows 13100 Fox Lane at about $2 million, 14151 131st Street at $1.645 million, and 7 Paddock at $1.499 million.

When comparing custom luxury homes for sale in Lemont IL, look beyond finishes. Construction quality, mechanical systems, renovation history, lot characteristics, tax burden, drainage, and relevant resale comparables can explain large differences between properties with similar asking prices.

Homes With Acreage

For buyers who value privacy and usable outdoor space, luxury homes for sale in Lemont IL with acreage offer a different ownership experience from conventional subdivision homes. A current example is 7 Paddock in Equestrian Estates, listed at $1.499 million on roughly 1.16 acres. The listing also identifies a private well and septic system, which is a good reminder that acreage buyers need to evaluate utilities and land systems as carefully as the house itself.

Acreage buyers should review topography, drainage, usable yard area, tree coverage, driveway maintenance, landscaping expense, zoning, possible outbuildings, and well or septic systems where applicable.

New Construction Homes

Buyers interested in luxury new construction homes for sale in Lemont IL currently have both community-based and individual-build options. Realtor.com recently showed 47 new-construction listings in Lemont, including Gleneagles plans, attached homes, and larger detached builds.A 5,700-square-foot new-construction residence at 1532 Linden Circle was listed at $1,699,999, while Pulte’s Provence plan at Gleneagles starts at $451,990 with approximately 1,577+ square feet.

For any new build, compare the advertised price with lot premiums, structural options, design selections, landscaping, appliances, completion timing, warranty coverage, and what will actually be delivered at closing.

Communities & schools

Lemont Communities and School Boundaries

Lemont buyers can choose between newer developments, established custom-home neighborhoods, attached housing, golf-oriented communities, and larger-lot settings. The community name is useful, but the individual property still deserves the final comparison.

Communities Worth Comparing

Gleneagles offers newer construction, including single-family homes and ranch-style villa plans. Pulte currently markets multiple home designs there, including the Provence plan starting at $451,990. Estates of Montefiori combines single-family homes and townhouses. Recent public data showed seven homes for sale from roughly $539,900 to $1.425 million, including five new-construction properties.

Ruffled Feathers occupies a higher price tier. Current public inventory includes single-family homes from about $799,900 to $1.645 million, with an average asking price above $1.28 million.

Rather than choosing by subdivision name alone, compare HOA obligations, lot size, housing age, architecture, taxes, street position, and recent sales. Buyers still comparing southwest-suburban locations can explore the communities Sandi Realty serves before narrowing the search.

Verify Schools by Address

Lemont-Bromberek District 113A operates Oakwood School for K–1, River Valley for grades 2–3, Central School for grades 4–5, and Old Quarry Middle School for grades 6–8.

Lemont High School District 210 serves the high-school level, but the district specifically advises families to verify whether an address falls inside its boundary. Its current guidance also notes that no Will County residences are within District 210.

Always confirm school assignments using the exact property address before making a purchase decision.

Downtown & recreation

Downtown Lemont, Outdoor Living and Regional Access

Lemont’s location offers a combination that is unusual for many suburban markets: a recognizable historic downtown, substantial outdoor recreation, and direct access to major regional transportation routes.

Downtown and Everyday Life

The Village describes Downtown Lemont as a historic center with preserved architecture, specialty shops, restaurants, and direct ties to the Illinois and Michigan Canal National Heritage Corridor. Lemont’s history is also closely connected to the canal and local limestone quarrying. For buyers, downtown proximity can mean easier access to dining, community activity, and Metra, while properties farther out may offer larger lots or greater separation.

Parks and Outdoor Recreation

The Forge: Lemont Quarries occupies roughly 300 acres and offers activities such as climbing, ziplining, kayaking, archery, mini golf, and other outdoor recreation. The Lemont Park District adds local parks and facilities, including the CORE Fitness & Aquatic Complex with a three-court gymnasium, indoor pool, fitness studios, and fitness center.

Metra and Highway Access

Lemont is positioned near I-355, I-55, and I-80, and the Village identifies Metra’s Heritage Corridor as the community’s rail connection to Chicago. Rather than relying on a generic commute time, buyers should compare the exact property with their normal station, highway, and daily destinations.

Ownership costs & due diligence

Ownership Costs and What Buyers Should Check

The purchase price is only one part of owning a Lemont home. Taxes, insurance, HOA dues, utilities, landscaping, snow removal, acreage maintenance, and future repairs can materially change the long-term budget.

Property Taxes and Monthly Costs

Lemont Township is in its 2026 reassessment cycle. Cook County’s Assessor reports a $598,000 median 2025 sale price for single-family homes and a $595,000 2026 assessor estimate. The reassessed values mailed in August 2026 will be reflected on tax bills in 2027. Individual properties can differ substantially from those township-level figures. Before finalizing a budget, use the mortgage calculator alongside the home’s actual taxes, insurance estimate, HOA dues, and expected maintenance expenses.

Established Homes and Acreage

For an established home, review recent comparable sales, permits, roof and mechanical ages, electrical and plumbing updates, basement condition, drainage, and renovation history. Larger parcels add another layer. Confirm zoning, lot usability, grading, trees, exterior maintenance, and private well or septic systems where applicable. A property can have impressive acreage on paper without every part of that land being equally usable.

HOA and Community Documents

For HOA properties, review current dues, association responsibilities, reserves, restrictions, recent meeting information, and potential assessments. The monthly fee alone does not tell you whether an association is financially strong or what ownership responsibilities remain with the homeowner.

New Construction Review

New-build buyers should read the builder contract carefully. Review included specifications, allowances, upgrades, lot premiums, warranty coverage, landscaping, completion dates, unfinished items, and how the property-tax bill may change after the completed home is fully assessed.
