O'Neil Property Group
Live Montgomery listings updated daily from the MLS — plus what local buyers should know before making a move.
Under $500K, essentially the entire Montgomery market opens up—established singles across every master-planned community, the newer move-up homes in Huntington Chase and Blackberry Crossing West, most of Balmorea and Saratoga Springs, and much of D.R. Horton’s new construction at Marquis Pointe. This is the bracket where buyers comparing Oswego, Naperville, or DuPage County discover what the same money buys one town west: more square footage, newer systems, and quarter-acre lots, still within 10 minutes of the Aurora Metra.

Active listings pulled directly from the MLS.
Expect four-bedroom two-stories from 2,000 to 3,200 square feet in the newer subdivisions, larger Foxmoor and Seasons Ridge resales, and new-construction plans at Marquis Pointe below the $500K line. Three-car garages, full basements, and quarter-acre lots start appearing consistently in this range. Homes here draw slightly fewer bidding wars than the sub-$400K frenzy, but well-presented listings still go pending fast.
Huntington Chase (Yorkville CUSD 115) and Blackberry Crossing West are the signature move-up communities in this bracket—most recent sales land between $385K and $530K. Foxmoor’s larger singles on the Kane side reach the high $400s, and Saratoga Springs trades $420K–$524K. New construction at Marquis Pointe starts at $429,990, which puts a brand-new home in direct competition with 15-year-old resales—worth comparing carefully.
In this bracket the new-construction question matters: D.R. Horton’s base pricing at Marquis Pointe overlaps the resale market, so weigh builder incentives, rate buydowns, and the SSA against an established home with mature landscaping and finished basement space. We represent buyers at the builder at no cost to you—and the builder’s on-site agent works for the builder, not for you.
Sellers in this range compete on condition. Buyers stepping up from $350K expect updated kitchens and baths at $475K—homes that deliver go quickly, homes that don’t sit and take price cuts. On the buy side, that’s your opening: the dated listing nobody lines up for is often the best value in the village.
