Of the homes listed in September, five have asking prices above $1 million and one has an asking price north of $2 million.

The highest-priced home of the month, at nearly $2.5 million, is at 700 N. Farm Road 193 in northeast Springfield. The residence, which has five bedrooms and five bathrooms on over 4 acres, is being marketed for sale by Murney Associates, Realtors.
