Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026 - Aug 2026).
Crystal Lake’s rolling three-month snapshot through August 2026 shows steady inventory with 37 active listings, roughly in line with last year. Contract activity has shifted, as homes sold are up more than 25% year over year while pending sales have slipped slightly. New listings have climbed more than 20% from a year ago, adding fresh options even as the flow of accepted offers cools. With 6.7 months of supply, up about 20% year over year, conditions are looser than a typical tight seller’s market despite the seller’s market label.
Pricing is adjusting to these dynamics, with the typical home value down a bit more than 2% from last year’s rolling period. Median list prices have fallen more sharply, dropping more than 11% year over year as sellers respond to increased supply and a more measured pace of demand. The average sale-to-list ratio has edged down compared to a year ago, and only about 9% of recent sales closed above list price. These trends point to buyers having more room to negotiate than they did in prior years.
Timing is also changing, as the median days on market now sits at 36 days, down about 36% from a year ago but well above the fastest periods seen in past years. Homes are not flying off the market instantly, yet they are selling more quickly than in some earlier periods tracked. Buyers can take a bit more time to compare options, while sellers still need sharp pricing and strong presentation to stand out. Both buyers and sellers in Crystal Lake can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands these shifting conditions.

“Valentina provided realistic expectations during the sales process given current market conditions. She is very knowledgeable of the area and trends occurring in our Tampa community. I especially appreciated her quick responses to any questions and concerns we had.”
“Professional, responsive, and knwoledgeable. Paula was always responsive, always pointing out great ideas and assisted us with navigating the new Florida laws as they differ by State. She brought her A game to the table and was super.”
“Chris did a great job.”
“Thắng làm việc rất chuyên nghiệp, phản hồi nhanh và đặc biệt là tư vấn rất có tâm, sẽ liên lạc lại Thắng nếu cần”

“10/10 realtor for new construction! We built a home with KB Home over in Weeki Wachee Florida, and we had heard how important it was to have a realtor who understood inspections. We hired Rich because this is where he specializes, and he did not disappoint. He was truly with us every step of the way and guided us not only through hiring inspectors, but educated us on what to look for when noticing potential problems. Rich is a wealth of knowledge and won’t ever leave you hanging. In fact, I don’t think I have ever seen a realtor as passionate and invested in the process. This guy will look out for you. Another great part, as a buyer, his services are free to you because the builder pays him all of his commission. It is honestly just silly not to have him by your side for guidance and support. He may also make you laugh from time to time. 😅 Thank you for everything you did for us and helping us build our dream new construction home in the Tampa Bay area!”
“Elizabeth did an outstanding job helping me sell my home. From the beginning, she was professional, proactive, and very knowledgeable about the market.

I’m very grateful for her help and would definitely recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking to sell their home.”

He was always very responsive to my calls, texts, request, etc. We built up such a great relationship through this crazy process, that even after we closed on our new home, he reached out to check on us. He is always looking to get the best deal for his clients. He is like family now to us and will always have his own seat next to the firepit in our backyard. I would DEFINETLY recommend Larry to anyone and everyone looking to buy or sell. AMAZING.. Can't say enough Great things about Larry.”

“We were SO fortunate to receive a call from Lottie Creech who responded to my inquiry on your site. Mrs. Creech is sweet, kind, knowledgeable and diligent.

Anyone engaging Lottie Creech to assist them will be thankful they did.”
