Live Aurora listings updated daily from the MLS — plus what local buyers should know before making a move.
Under $400K covers the heart of the Aurora market—the citywide median sits in the low-to-mid $300Ks, so this search captures more than half of everything that lists. The mix is broad: updated singles across the west side, larger Hometown Aurora homes, townhomes in Ashton Pointe and the Oakhurst associations on the D204 corridor, and the occasional Wheatlands or Lakewood Valley single that prices sharp. This is also where competition peaks; homes here average roughly 101% of list price.

Active listings pulled directly from the MLS.
Expect solid three- and four-bed singles between 1,200 and 2,200 square feet on the west and east sides, most built between the 1950s and 1990s, plus two- to three-bed townhomes from the 1990s and 2000s along the Eola and Route 59 corridors. In the high $300Ks you start reaching renovated homes with newer mechanicals and the entry edge of the far-east-side subdivision market. Townhome buyers should compare monthly HOA fees carefully—they swing from under $100 to over $300 by association.
West-side neighborhoods off Galena and Orchard deliver the most house per dollar and short drives to the Aurora Transportation Center, where BNSF expresses reach Union Station in about 54 minutes. On the east side, Ashton Pointe townhomes—about 330 units at Eola and North Aurora Road—trade mostly in the low-to-mid $300Ks, and Oakhurst townhomes in the high $200Ks to low $300Ks. County and district lines shift block to block here, so we verify taxes and school assignment on every showing.
Conventional financing with 5-10% down is the norm, though FHA remains common below $350K. Budget for Aurora taxes by county—roughly 2.40% effective in Kane, 2.51% in DuPage—and check for Special Service Areas in the newer subdivisions. If you are stretching toward $400K, ask us about slightly-dated homes in strong subdivisions; cosmetic updates recoup better here than almost anywhere in the Fox Valley.
Under $400K is the deepest and fastest slice of the Aurora market. Multiple offers are routine, and escalation clauses have become standard tools. The counterweight: inventory refreshes daily in a city this size, so missing one home rarely means waiting long for the next. A same-day showing strategy matters more than anything else at this price.
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.
