The property at 932 Hollywood Ave is well positioned in the Des Plaines market, offering 5 beds, 3 baths, and 1,836 sqft—larger and more updated than most local comparables. At $245/sqft and a sale price of $450,000, it sits above the area's average home value ($341,711) and the comp median ($375,000–$706,000), but aligns with premium, move-in-ready homes. Market appreciation is trending upward (3.2%–10% YoY), supporting strong value retention. Median days to close locally are low, and this property closed swiftly after listing.
For similar homes, optimal pricing is between $445,000 and $465,000, with targeted marketing to large families and buyers seeking move-in-ready, multi-level layouts. Highlight recent updates and unique features (large yard, 2.5-car garage, 5 bedrooms) in all marketing. To maximize appeal and reduce closing time, ensure the property is staged, exterior is refreshed, and minor repairs are addressed before listing. List in early spring or late summer for best results, as comps show brisk sales in these periods.
