Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Inventory in Crystal Lake has expanded in this rolling three-month view, with months of supply up sharply year over year and now sitting at 8.4, even as active listings are slightly lower than a year ago. Contract activity has cooled, as pending sales are down more than 40 percent from last year and new listings have fallen by roughly a quarter, signaling fewer fresh options coming to market.
Pricing has been comparatively steady, with the typical home value edging up slightly year over year to about $236,000 despite a notable recent dip over the summer. At the same time, the median list price is down double digits from a year ago, suggesting sellers are adjusting expectations in response to slower demand and higher inventory.
Speed and negotiation dynamics are shifting as well, with homes taking a median of 45 days to go under contract in the latest period, down dramatically from last year’s much longer marketing times. A larger share of sales are closing above asking price than a year ago, yet the average sale-to-list ratio has eased a bit, pointing to a mix of competitive and more flexible deals across segments. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these crosscurrents can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a skilled local agent who understands the Crystal Lake market.
