The story
A ranch built for your next chapter
Who is 902 E Maywood Ave for? Buyers who want a solid, single-level home that works from day one, in a market where homes like it do not last long.
As a whole, this house suits three kinds of buyers especially well: first-time buyers who want an affordable, move-in-ready ranch; investors looking for a solid, income-producing hold; and empty-nesters or downsizers who want one-level living with a real yard and a garage.
Here is why it works. Every room sits on one level, so there are no stairs anywhere in the home. A detached garage and a covered carport take care of vehicles and storage, and the private backyard with its covered redwood deck gives you an outdoor room for slow evenings. All of it sits on a quiet street in Central Peoria, in a market where well-priced homes move fast: detached homes in Peoria County carried a $190,000 median sale price and just 1.4 months of supply in August 2026, per the RMLS Alliance market update.
The location pulls its weight too. From around E Maywood Ave, Bradley University is about a 5 to 7 minute drive, downtown Peoria and the riverfront are a few minutes west, and everyday shopping runs minutes away along the main corridors. Distances are approximate, but the math is easy to feel in person.

Buyer Q&A
Honest answers to the questions buyers ask
Real questions Teri hears on tours of ranch homes like this one, answered plainly. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.
- No pressure, no jargon, no obligation to decide on the spot.
How old is the house, and is age a problem?
This is a single-story ranch, a layout Peoria buyers have loved for decades because everything stays on one level.
The photos show where the character lives: original wood kitchen cabinets, a mosaic tile backsplash, white trim, and wood-look plank floors. The exact build year is public record and Teri will pull it for you. Age on its own says little, so Teri encourages every buyer to pair it with a professional inspection before writing an offer.
How do showings and open houses work?
Private showings are simple: text or call Teri at 309-361-4592 and she will line up a time that fits your schedule, evenings and weekends included.
The home is vacant, so there is nothing to work around and tours are unhurried. Open house dates change week to week, so check the latest times directly with Teri rather than depending on a flyer or sign.
How do I make an offer?
You make a written offer on terms you choose, and Teri walks you through every number before it goes anywhere.
Together you decide on price, earnest money, and contingencies for inspection and financing, plus a target closing date. Teri handles the negotiation and all the paperwork, and she is in the room representing you, not the seller.
How long does closing take?
Most closings in this market run about 30 to 45 days from an accepted offer, depending on your financing.
Cash deals can close faster; a financed purchase adds time for the appraisal and underwriting. Because this home is vacant, there is no seller move-out to wait on, which keeps the calendar flexible.
Can I get financing for this home?
Yes. Homes like this one are bought with conventional, FHA, and VA loans every week in Peoria.
Single-story ranches appraise well here because demand for them is steady, especially among buyers who want to skip the stairs. Teri can connect you with local lenders who know this market and can get you pre-approved before you write an offer.
What does a buyer's agent do, and what does it cost?
A buyer's agent represents you from the first tour to the keys, and in most Central Illinois sales the seller pays the commission.
Teri negotiates price and any repairs, coordinates the inspection, reviews the title and closing documents, and keeps the process moving. Ask her to lay out exactly how compensation works for this offer; it is standard practice here and usually means no out-of-pocket cost to you.
