What do commercial buildings sell for in Antioch?
In the two years to June 30, 2026, the Village of Antioch recorded 16 arm’s-length sales of office, retail, commercial and industrial property, at a median price of $435,000 — 11 in the latest 12 months and 5 in the year before.
| Property type | Sales | Median price |
|---|---|---|
| Retail & commercial | 13 | $450,000 |
| Office | 2 | — |
| Industrial | 1 | — |
| All | 16 | $435,000 |
A group median appears only where at least six sales qualify, so office and industrial show a count only.
| Period | Sales |
|---|---|
| Latest 12 months | 11 |
| The year before | 5 |
Counts only. The report does not compare prices year to year.
The report gives no price per square foot. The one industrial sale cannot be measured against a building area, and in retail, commercial and office sales the land and the tenant often set the price as much as the building does, so a per-square-foot median would mislead.
How long does it take to sell a commercial building in Antioch?
The state record is too thin to say. Four of the 16 sellers reported a marketing time on the transfer declaration, and three of them had put the building on the market: too few for a median.

Source: Illinois Department of Revenue real estate transfer declarations (PTAX-203) for office, retail, commercial and industrial property in Antioch, sales dated July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2026; pulled September 25, 2026. Each sale is confirmed inside the Village of Antioch by its parcel number in Lake County’s own records. Arm’s-length sales only. Left out: transfers of an entity or beneficial interest rather than a deed; quit-claim, trust, sheriff’s and judicial deeds; sales between related parties, of a partial interest, court-ordered, in lieu of foreclosure, by condemnation, short sales, bank-owned (REO) sales, relocation-company sales and simultaneous trades; sales flagged as likely portfolio or linked multi-property purchases, including purchases with properties in other towns; sales with no price or under $10,000; and sales whose filer said the price was not market value or was affected by the circumstances of the sale. Sales are counted by transfer declaration; one declaration may cover multiple parcels, and a building resold on the same day is counted once, at the final price. Price is the declared price less personal property. Marketing time is the seller’s own estimate on the declaration (4 of the 16 sales report it). A group median appears only where at least six sales qualify. Filings can trail a sale by weeks, so the latest quarter may still rise slightly. Aggregates only. Next update: late November 2026, for sales through September 30.
Why Antioch sellers hire Jason
Beyond pricing, marketing and negotiating, a seller gets the bench Jason has built over years of closings. Across the Chicago area, Jason has closed deals from 1,500 to 98,905 square feet and has sold contractor units, mixed-use, multifamily, medical and office buildings, manufacturing warehouses and national retail stores.
What an Antioch sale has to answer
What the price rests on
Antioch recorded 16 arm’s-length commercial and industrial sales in two years, 11 of them in the latest 12 months. With that few, the comparable sales a buyer leans on are thin, and the building’s own rent and condition carry more of the price.
Like for like
Of the 16 sales, 13 were retail and commercial buildings, 2 were office and 1 was industrial. An office or industrial building in Antioch has few sales of its own kind to price against, so its comparable sales have to come from a wider area than the village.
Inside the village or not
An Antioch mailing address does not always mean the Village of Antioch: some buildings with one sit in unincorporated Lake County. A buyer will ask which side of the line a building is on, because it decides whose rules apply, and the market report above counts only sales inside the village.
The tax bill
A buyer underwriting an Antioch building will ask what it pays. Across 236 commercial and industrial parcels in the village, the median computed property tax is $2.51 per square foot of building area (Lake County assessor records), so the building’s own bill belongs in hand before a buyer runs the numbers.
People and tools Jason can bring to your sale
- A tested starting point — Mainstreet commercial contract forms, reviewed and revised by many attorneys over the years, give your attorney an established starting point and can reduce drafting time.
- Flat-fee counsel — real estate counsel who works on a flat rate, when you want one.
- Fast environmental — environmental consultants who turn time-sensitive reports around quickly.
- Lenders who answer — lenders who pick up Jason’s call directly and get a buyer’s financing moving.
- Village zoning, handled — Jason works zoning and use questions directly with the village.
- Honest trades — roofers, window contractors and other trades with fair pricing, to get a building ready to sell.
- No competing portfolio — Jason doesn’t own or develop commercial property, so no building of his ever competes with yours for a buyer.

What Can You Open in Antioch?
Antioch’s zoning code (Title 10 of the Village Code) sorts commercial property into two business districts (B-1 Neighborhood Commercial and B-2 Highway Business), business park and manufacturing districts (BP Business Park, M-1 Light Manufacturing and M-2 Manufacturing), and a downtown form-based code with its own districts (VC Village Core, TC Transitional Core, MT Main Street Transitional, a downtown BP and CE Commercial Edge). Two 2026 ordinances not yet in the online code are applied below: warehouse and distribution, limited manufacturing, product showrooms and research services became special uses in TC (June 2026), and taverns became special uses in B-1 and B-2, with brew pubs and taverns special uses in VC and TC (July 2026). The downtown code carries two use tables that do not fully agree, so confirm any downtown use with the Village.
