What Buyers Really Want in Homes Across the Southwest Suburbs

Buyer preferences are shifting throughout Orland Park, Lemont, Frankfort, and surrounding areas. If you plan to sell soon, understanding these trends is a major advantage.

Buyers currently prioritize:

  • Updated kitchens & baths

  • Open living spaces

  • Neutral, move-in ready finishes

  • Home offices or flex rooms

  • Usable outdoor space

  • Energy efficiency

  • Good school districts

If your home aligns with these trends, you may be able to attract stronger offers.

If it doesn’t, small tweaks can often help bridge the gap.
