An upcoming strategic planning retreat for the Normal Town Council will help focus on issues for the next several years. Mayor Chris Koos said one idea that has surfaced in focus groups is a sports complex.

Bloomington-Normal home sales declined last year, though there are a couple positive signs. The Mid-Illinois Realtors Association said home sales were down 5.9% in 2025.

Farmland owners who want to sell their acreage are holding back this fall, compared with this time last year — while land prices have declined slightly.

The pace of home sales in Bloomington-Normal is down 15.6% so far in 2023. But prices are up, on average, 6.5%.

Newcomers to Bloomington-Normal can be a mirror to the community. The things they want, the things they value, offer insight to people already living in the Twin Cities — and they help each other have a better understanding of what it is to be part of the community.
