Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).

Brighton’s rolling three-month housing trends show a mixed picture compared with last year. Typical home values are up slightly year over year, rising about 1 percent, while the median list price has moved lower. Activity has cooled, with homes sold down more than a third and new listings also significantly lower than a year ago.

In the latest rolling three-month period ending in July 2026, the typical home value sits around $154,000 and the median list price is about $129,000. Inventory is lean, with only 8 active listings and roughly 2.6 months of supply, even after supply more than doubled compared with last year.

Homes are moving very quickly, spending a median of just 5 days on the market, a sharp drop from a year earlier. About 40 percent of recent sales closed above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 99 percent, indicating buyers are paying close to asking in many cases. With homes selling fast, fewer listings coming on the market, and demand still strong enough to push a sizable share above list, both buyers and sellers in Brighton can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who knows how to navigate these conditions.

The Hayner Public Library District bookmobile and nearby branches expand options for readers of all ages.

Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate a short drive to Pere Marquette State Park and the Great River Road, making weekend hikes, scenic drives, and eagle watching part of regular life. Everyday convenience comes from local shops, markets, and nearby services in Jersey County and Madison County.

Housing in Brighton ranges from older farmhouses and mid century homes to newer subdivisions, giving both first time buyers and move up households solid options.

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Steve Goodman and the experience we’ve had working with him over the past 10 years. Steve was my realtor when I purchased my very first condo, and 10 years later, he was right there with us as we sold that condo and purchased what we hope will be our forever home. Having the opportunity to work with the same realtor through such an important chapter of our lives speaks volumes about the trust and confidence we have in him. What sets Steve apart is that he genuinely puts his clients’ best interests first. He is never pushy or focused on simply making a sale. Instead, he takes the time to listen, answer every question, offer honest advice, and make sure you feel comfortable with every decision. He is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile.”

“Was impressed from the beginning when the owner answered the phone and made an appointment within a day or two to come out to the property. When we decided to put the house on the market, they were extremely professional And answered all our questions. The photographer came out promptly, and took amazing pictures of the property. It was listed the next day,and our house sold in less than a week. Andrew McCatty was our broker. He could not have been more knowledgeable or professional. Any questions that we had, Andrew either answered the phone or got back to us very quickly. Highly recommend Andrew and Century 21 Circle. Would only work with them again and would recommend them to family and friends.”

“Catherine Terpstra made herself available to us in our search for a house as we were moving from out of state back to IL. As soon as we contacted her, it felt like she dropped everything "just for us". (We know she was attending to other clinets, as well!) She was very efficient in setting up houses for us to tour, within and without our pricing perameters. She "heard us" in regard to the "non-negotiables" we had for a house for which we were looking. She printed out pertinent infomration on each place for us. We were in a time-crunch, as we had come from out of state to search for a place to live. She was able to help us find a very nice new home. We are very thankful to her for her understanding and expertise in real estate and in the current housing market.”

“I previously used Jeffry Phillips to sell a house I inherited. It was a very emotional time and he was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and gave suggestions of things that could be done to the house prior to selling it. Because that experience was so positive and he was so professional I utilized his services when it was time for me to sell my house. When it came time to sell my home, he was professional and extremely knowledgeable about the Garfield Ridge neighborhood. I would highly recommend him to any of my friends family, and neighbors if they are buying or selling a house.”
