In the three months ending October 15, 2026, 13 homes sold in Briarwood in Elgin at 89.4% of their original asking price, a buyer’s market for Briarwood as a whole. A price point changes which market a home is in, and every home for sale there is a builder listing. In my read, a Briarwood home competes only with builder homes today, so price it to what those homes closed for.
