Live Bristol listings updated daily from the MLS — plus what local buyers should know before making a move.
Let’s be upfront: under $300K is below where Bristol has actually been trading. Assessor-recorded arm’s-length sales from 2023 through mid-2026 started around $310,000 — 1960s ranches in Willowbrook — and most closings cluster between roughly $330K and $650K. So treat this page as an entry-point watch list. When a dated ranch, an estate sale, or one of the century-old homes in the historic village core does slip under the line, it shows up in the feed below the day it hits the MLS — and in a community that typically carries only one or two active listings at a time, being first matters.

When something does appear at this number, expect the oldest and smallest end of the market: 1960s–1970s ranches of roughly 1,100–1,600 square feet needing updates, or an older home in the historic village core along Cannonball Trail. Well and septic service is common in unincorporated Bristol, so plan on those inspections. What the price really buys here is the lot — parcels in the established plats run at or near an acre — plus a Yorkville CUSD 115 address at the lowest recorded entry point in the 60512 zip.
The likeliest sources of a sub-$300K listing are Storybook Highlands, the 1970s ranch plat off Galena Road where homes run roughly 1,300–1,600 square feet; the historic village core around Bristol Grade School and the post office; and the occasional as-is sale in Willowbrook, where ten recorded sales from 2023 to mid-2026 ran $310,000 to $455,000. None of them list on a schedule — this is a watch-and-move market, three miles north of downtown Yorkville.
Get pre-approved before you need to be — a below-market Bristol listing draws immediate attention and can go pending in days. Condition drives financing at this level: a home needing work may point toward a renovation loan or a repair escrow rather than standard FHA, and well-and-septic properties add inspections to the timeline. We’ll also run the math on Yorkville homes under $300K, because the same budget buys differently three miles south.
An honest broker tells you when a search needs a backup plan, and this one does. Watch this page for the outlier, and set a parallel alert one band up — the $300K–$400K range is where Bristol’s ranches actually trade. If the acre-plus lot is what draws you to Bristol in the first place, tell us; sometimes the right answer is a modest stretch on a smaller house that comes with the land you actually want.
Whether you are just starting your search or ready to schedule a showing, Kealan O’Neil is here to help you every step of the way.
