Live East Dundee listings updated daily from the MLS — plus what local buyers should know before making a move.
Under $300K is East Dundee’s condo-and-entry territory, and it’s one of the lowest-cost doorways into a walkable river town anywhere in the Fox Valley. Most of the inventory at this number is attached: condos at the Reserve of East Dundee near Route 72, and the 55+ units at Village Green, which start under $100K. The occasional smaller single-family home on the older street grid sneaks under $300K too, though rarely in turnkey condition. What you’re buying at this price is location—the downtown, the Fox River Trail, and the I-90 on-ramp are all minutes away—in a village where total inventory hovers around 20 listings, so the right unit rewards buyers who move quickly.

Active listings pulled directly from the MLS.
Expect one- to three-bedroom condos and the occasional townhome, mostly 750 to 1,700 square feet. Village Green units (750–980 sq ft, built 2000) list from the $80s but carry substantial monthly fees that bundle services—and a 55+ age restriction. Reserve of East Dundee condos from the 1990s trade near the top of this bracket. Detached homes under $300K are the exception: usually smaller, older footprints near downtown that need work. Factor association fees into every monthly-payment comparison, and expect updated units to draw multiple interested parties.
The attached-home inventory concentrates in two places: the Reserve of East Dundee off Route 72 west of Route 25, and Village Green at 605 Barrington Avenue. The older blocks around River Street and downtown produce the occasional sub-$300K detached listing—small Victorians and bungalows that sell on walkability. Across the river, Carpentersville and Elgin widen the sub-$300K selection considerably if East Dundee’s thin inventory doesn’t cooperate on your timeline.
FHA financing with 3.5% down works at this price point, and IHDA down payment assistance can layer in for eligible first-time buyers. Two East Dundee-specific cautions: confirm any condo association is warrantable with your lender early—it determines which loan programs apply—and at Village Green, underwrite the full monthly fee (roughly $1,100–$1,550) plus the 55+ restriction, which limits your future resale pool. Get the association’s financials, fee history, and any special assessment plans before you offer.
Sub-$300K listings in East Dundee are scarce—often just a handful at any moment—so set up instant alerts and be ready to tour within a day or two. Renters converting to owners and downsizers staying local compete for the same few units. Pre-approval in hand and a same-week showing is how buyers win this bracket.
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.
