In spring 2026 the median time on market averaged about 25 days, 156 days less than in spring 2019 (181 days).

When Peoria County homeowners list
Listings follow a clear seasonal cycle in Peoria County. Over the three years to May 2026, new listings peaked in July and August, with August running about 23% above the monthly average, and bottomed out in December, about 39% below it. Homes that sold in June had spent the least time on the market (a median of about 14 days), and those that sold in February the most (about 48 days).
Have your list, scripts and mail pieces ready by June, so you reach new FSBO owners in their first weeks. Sales are slowest around February, so FSBO owners still on the market then have often been waiting for months and tend to be the most open to help.

Working Peoria County FSBO leads
- Use the 18-day mark. Half of the Peoria County homes that sold in May 2026 had been listed 18 days or less, so an FSBO still for sale after that is likely stalling.
- Bring the numbers. On a $180,000 home, each 1% of commission is about $1,800, the money most FSBO owners are trying to keep, so a net-sheet comparison lands better than a pitch.
- Time it. Put your heaviest outreach into July and August, when the most Peoria County homes come to market, and ease off in December.
- Check the price per square foot. Peoria County homes sold for a median $108 per square foot in May 2026; an FSBO asking well above that is a candidate for a pricing conversation.
- Stay compliant and verify. Stop contacting any owner who says "no agents" or "no investors", confirm ownership and liens in Peoria County records before an offer, and add skip tracing for records without a phone number.
