A single-family home at 5775 Peart Road in Morris changed hands on Oct. 1 for $280,000, according to property records. The sale price works out to roughly $207 per square foot.
The transaction adds another data point to the local housing market as buyers continue to weigh inventory and pricing heading into the fall. Single-family homes in the area have drawn steady interest, and sales like this one offer a snapshot of what buyers are willing to pay for established residential properties.
Details about the home's size, lot and features were not included in the recorded sale information. The buyer and seller were also not identified in the filing.
The deal closed at the start of the fourth quarter, a period when real estate activity often slows as the school year settles in and colder weather approaches. Even so, transactions continue to move forward for buyers who have secured financing and found a property that fits their needs.
For neighbors and prospective buyers watching the Morris market, the Peart Road sale provides a useful benchmark. Per-square-foot pricing remains one of the clearest ways to compare properties across different sizes and styles, though it does not account for condition, upgrades or lot characteristics.
Local agents note that pricing varies block by block, and a single sale does not define an entire neighborhood. Still, each closed transaction contributes to the broader picture of where values stand in the community as the year moves toward its final months.
