The five highest-priced home sales reported in South Suburbs, Illinois for the week ending November 8, 2026 came to a combined $2.01 million. All five are single-family homes in Cook County, two in Matteson, two in Oak Forest and one in Homewood, and they span four decades of building, from a home completed in 1965 to one finished in 2004.
Buyers moved quickly. Every one of the five went under contract within three weeks of being listed, the fastest in just two days, and four sold above their asking prices while the fifth sold at its full asking price.
No. 1 — $436,500 · 181 Maryview Pkwy, Matteson, Illinois
The top sale of the week was a Traditional brick-and-frame home on a corner lot in the Providence Manor neighborhood of Matteson, which sold for $436,500. Built in 2004, it is the newest of the five, and at 3,252 square feet on 0.28 acres it also has the most living space and the largest lot in this group.
High ceilings run through the home, and the main level keeps its living room, dining room and family room as distinct spaces rather than one open plan. The family room has a gas-start fireplace. The eat-in kitchen has granite counters, an island and plenty of cabinetry, and there is also a wet bar. The primary suite is on the main level, with its own sitting area, a walk-in closet and a bath with dual vanities, a separate shower and a soaking tub. Off the main floor, an enclosed sunroom looks out over the large backyard, where there is a patio and an outdoor grill.
Upstairs are more bedrooms and an office nook; in all, the home has four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The full basement is finished, with a mini kitchen of its own and a door straight outside. A three-car attached garage, the most of any home this week, sits beside a wide driveway. The property last sold for $347,500 in 2004.
