Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026 - Aug 2026).
Inventory and contract activity in Braidwood are moving in different directions in this rolling three‑month view. Active listings are down more than 18% year over year, while homes sold have fallen about 17% and new listings are also lower than a year ago. Even with fewer closings, pending sales are nearly flat year over year, suggesting buyers are still engaging with the homes that are available.
Pricing has been edging up as supply tightens. The typical home value is almost unchanged from last year, but the median list price is up nearly 8% year over year, indicating sellers are testing higher asking prices. Homes are spending about 46 days on the market, roughly in line with a year ago, which shows that demand is absorbing listings at a steady pace despite softer closed sales.
Other signals point to a solid, though not overheated, seller environment. Months of supply has dropped sharply over the past year to just 2.8 months, reinforcing Braidwood’s status as a seller’s market, even as the share of homes selling above list has slipped to about 23% and the average sale‑to‑list ratio hovers near 97%. With fewer listings, modest price growth, and stable time on market, both buyers and sellers can benefit from working with an experienced local agent, and Agent Pronto can help them find the right one.
