The specialty
Sun City is not a subdivision. It is a small city.
5,481 homes across 41 neighborhoods. Two lodges, an age covenant, an assessment, and a resale market that behaves nothing like the rest of Huntley.
Pricing a Cantigny the way you would price a Geneva costs a seller real money, and the two are not interchangeable — the plan library lays out all fifty-six of them side by side. Buying without understanding the assessment, the age rule, or which lots get afternoon sun costs a buyer just as much. I have worked this community longer than almost anyone, and that is the difference between a listing that sits and one that closes.
- Floor-plan-level pricing
- Assessment & HOA disclosure
- Estate & downsizing sales
- Out-of-state relocation

Redfin neighborhood data for Del Webb’s Sun City, retrieved 18 August 2026, reported over the three months ending June 2026. Active inventory counts vary by source because Redfin’s neighborhood polygon and the MLS subdivision field do not cover the same ground. Production site should pull from MRED market reports monthly and restate the “as of” date every time.
Two very different jobs
Whichever side of the table you are on
Selling
Get the number your house is actually worth
Most homes in this market leave money on the table in the first ten days — wrong price, wrong photos, wrong week. I price from closed comps on your floor plan, not a portal estimate, and I tell you what to fix and what to leave alone.
- Floor-plan-specific pricing analysis
- Pre-list punch list, ranked by return
- Professional photography and staging guidance
- Weekly reporting you can actually read
Buying
Know what you are walking into
Especially in a 55+ community, where the covenant, the assessment and the association's rules matter as much as the kitchen. I will tell you the things the listing sheet does not.
- Saved searches with same-day alerts
- Plain-English HOA and assessment review
- Relocation help if you are coming from out of state
- Contractors, inspectors and movers I actually use
Track record
The numbers
The part of an agent’s pitch you can actually check. These come straight from the MLS, not from me — the ones still blank are being added as those figures clear.

In their words
What clients say
She told us to wait six weeks and repaint the kitchen instead of listing right away. We did. It sold the first weekend, over asking. That advice cost her nothing and made us real money.
We were moving from out of state and had never heard of Del Webb. Brenda walked us through the assessment, the age rule, and which models actually get afternoon sun. Nobody else did that.
Third house she has sold for our family. She answers her phone. In this business that is apparently rare.

Find out what your home is worth
Not an automated estimate. I look at what has actually closed on your floor plan, on your street, in the last ninety days — then I call you with a number and the reasoning behind it.
If you are thinking about spring, the right time to have this conversation is now. The work that raises your price takes six weeks, not six days.
Before we talk, it is worth reading what Sun City prices have done this year and the sequence I work through with a seller. Both take five minutes and they will make our first call a shorter one.
- Closed-comp analysis specific to your model
- A ranked list of what to fix and what to skip
- An honest timeline, including the case for waiting
- No obligation and no drip campaign
FAQ
Common questions
Do I have to be 55 to buy in Sun City Huntley?
At least one person in the household must be 55 or older. That is the Association’s published rule and the basis for the federal Housing for Older Persons Act exemption. A spouse under 55 is fine. Rules covering other permanent occupants sit in the recorded Declaration, which the Association distributes at closing rather than publishing online — I pull the current document so we can read the actual clause before you write an offer.
What does the Sun City assessment cover, and what does it cost?
The monthly assessment funds Prairie Lodge and Meadow View Lodge, the fitness centers, the indoor and outdoor pools, insurance, refuse and community staffing. For a detached home it was $159 a month as of August 2026; attached homes pay more, and get exterior maintenance, lawn care and snow removal with it. It changes annually. I give every buyer the current figure in writing along with the association disclosure package, because the number you find online is usually a year or two stale.
How long does it take to sell a home in Sun City right now?
Median sale price is $399,861 over the three months to June 2026, up 2.7% year over year, with median days on market at 39 and a 100.2% sale-to-list ratio. Days on market still vary enormously by plan and by lot. A well-priced Cantigny and a well-priced Ontario are two different conversations. Ask me for the numbers on your specific plan.
Do you work outside Sun City?
Yes. Roughly half my business is elsewhere in Huntley, Algonquin, Lake in the Hills, Crystal Lake and Gilberts — move-up families, first-time buyers, and the adult children of Sun City sellers. Sun City is my specialty, not my boundary.
What do you charge?
Commission is negotiable and always disclosed in writing before you sign anything, as Illinois law requires. Since the 2024 industry settlement changes, buyer and seller compensation are negotiated separately and stated up front. I will walk you through exactly what you are agreeing to, in plain English, at our first meeting.
Have a question about a specific house?
Call or text me directly. I answer my own phone — a habit my clients seem to find remarkable.
