Live Sandwich listings updated daily from the MLS — plus what local buyers should know before making a move.
Under $300K puts you just below the middle of the Sandwich market — the ZIP 60548 median sold price was $321,900 in June 2026 — and unlike most of the US 34 corridor, this budget still covers two genuinely different paths. The first is attached: Sandhurst, on the northeast side of town, mixes condos and townhouses with recorded attached sales starting around $174,000. The second is the in-town street grid, where older detached homes near downtown Railroad Street and the 1878 Opera House list below $300K on municipal water and sewer. With active inventory up from 49 to 140 listings year-over-year, this price band has more selection than it has had in years.

Active listings pulled directly from the MLS.
On the attached side, expect condos and townhouses from Sandhurst’s late-1980s-to-2005 build-out — generally the smaller end of the community’s 1,200-to-3,520-square-foot range, with segment-specific dues to verify per listing. On the detached side, expect two- to three-bedroom houses on the original grid, often older construction with updating to price in. Most in-town addresses feed Sandwich CUSD 430, and Sandwich straddles the DeKalb/Kendall county line, so we verify the parcel’s county and tax bill on every showing.
Sandhurst — east of Latham Street and north of Church Street — anchors the attached inventory and sits within walking distance of downtown. The in-town blocks around Railroad Street hold most of the sub-$300K detached stock. West of the city, Lake Holiday occasionally produces cottages and interior-lot homes near this band, with buildable lots there starting around $25,000 — though the Lake Holiday Property Owners’ Association carries mandatory dues and lake-community rules.
FHA financing with 3.5% down works well for in-town homes at this price, and Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA) down payment assistance can layer in for eligible buyers. For condos and townhouses, have your lender confirm the association is warrantable early, and review the dues, what they cover, and reserves before you offer. We pull association documents as part of every attached-home offer we write.
Sandwich recorded 68 sales over the trailing period, and the under-$300K slice draws the widest buyer pool — first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors all compete here. More inventory means more choice, not soft pricing: the median rose 4.4% year-over-year even as listings nearly tripled. Come pre-approved, tour quickly, and let us flag the right listing the morning it hits the MLS.
