Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Champaign County real estate market. *
May 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026).
Champaign County currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge at 34 out of 100. Months of supply sits at 3.2, a bit higher than Illinois overall at 2.9, suggesting slightly more breathing room. Even so, homes are still moving, with about 55% going off the market within two weeks and an average sale-to-list ratio just under 100%.
Pricing shows some mixed movement. The typical home value is down around 6% from a year ago, yet the median list price is up more than 12% year over year, indicating sellers are testing higher asking prices even as closed values soften. Inventory has grown, with active listings up about 28% compared with last year, while months of supply has roughly doubled over the same period.
Demand remains steady but not overheated. Homes sold in May rose nearly 18% from April, though pending sales pulled back about 11% month over month, hinting at a bit of caution among buyers. Properties are taking longer to sell than a year ago, with median days on market jumping to 44, and a smaller share of homes are selling above list price than last year. Whether you are a buyer trying to navigate these shifting conditions or a seller aiming to price strategically, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands Champaign County’s trends.
Champaign County offers residents a dynamic mix of educational excellence, vibrant arts and culture, accessible healthcare, abundant outdoor recreation, and strong job opportunities within a welcoming, community-focused environment.
Champaign County stands out from nearby rural counties and larger metros like Chicago by combining a major university presence with an accessible, small city pace. Anchored by Champaign and Urbana, it offers cultural depth, walkable neighborhoods, and a strong sense of local identity that appeals to long‑time residents and new arrivals alike.
The University of Illinois Urbana‑Champaign shapes much of the local life, supporting research, tech startups, and a steady calendar of performances at venues like Krannert Center for the Performing Arts. Outdoor time is easy to find at places such as Hessel Park and Lake of the Woods Forest Preserve, while families appreciate resources like the Champaign Public Library and strong school options across the county.
Each community offers its own character, from the historic blocks of Rantoul to the quieter streets of Mahomet and Savoy. Locally owned restaurants and coffee shops, a well‑regarded transit system through MTD, and year‑round festivals give everyday life a connected, community feel.
In a market influenced by both university cycles and long‑term residents, timing and preparation are crucial. Whether you are planning a move within Champaign County or considering relocating here, Agent Pronto can connect you with a real estate professional who understands the local nuances and can guide both buyers and sellers through their next step.

“Selling a home can be emotionally and physically exhausting. Kim Wirtz took control of the process and led me through it. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and patient. I would recommend Kim to sell your home.”
“Originally we were referred by our first lender and we could not have been more fortunate to work with Vicky and Sam. They were professional and realistic regarding our home search. We had not purchased a home in a very long time and Vicky was patient and understanding and was so attentive. avidly referred us to our second lender (the first was not communicative) and it was wonderful. Overall the whole experience was great! Thank you for helping us find our dream home!”
“Laura is Amazing!”
“Working with Tracy to buy our home was a great experience and she was always available and communicative even as we navigated some difficult parts of the negotiation with the seller. She was personally at every visit and even at the inspection and closing, going way above and beyond my expectations and previous experiences with buying agents. Thanks to her we found a home for our family and while we don't plan to buy in the near future I'd be happy to work with her again and again. Thanks Tracy!”
“Steven was very helpful, knowledgeable, passionate, and most importantly he met all of my needs! I will definitely use him for all of my future home purchases in the near future. Thanks again Steven, he's definitely a ROCK STAR! I can't wait to work with him in the near future. Betty Ng”

She gave us peace of mind knowing everything was taken care of and explained everything we were signing.”
“Mike was very responsive from start to finish. Our home sale played out exactly how Mike told us it would. We had multiple offers over asking the first weekend. We were moving out of state and a smooth and quick sale is what we were hoping for and Mike made that happen. We would highly recommend Mike to anyone looking to sell their property in the Southwest Suburbs.”
“Barb was 1/20 realtors who was willing to work with me in the beginning over 9 years ago. This is when I first purchased my home. I was cheap buyer. It went without saying I was going to be using her for the sale of the home 9 years later. She handled the hurdles flawlessly and talked me through and coached me the entire way. To say I appreciate her is an understatement. I sold my home after we relocated it of state and she coordinated every logistic of that sale on my behalf to he best of her ability. I recommend her without fail and would point every person in her direction that has a need for a solid realtor.”

“It was a pleasure to work with Robert, he paid a lot of attention to our expectations and preferences, and he is strong in negotiating.”
“Working with Emir is always a pleasure. He was very helpful in coordinating work on our house for sale, working with vendors and providing valuable feedback on neccesary work vs. potential work items unlikely to generate return. We closed sale of house 3 weeks from time of first listing. I'd worked with Emir before and hope to do so again in the future.”
“Working with Ray was an absolute blessing throughout my home buying journey. He went above and beyond every step of the way, always remaining patient, professional, and supportive through all of the ups and downs that came along the process.

“To be honest Ralph was the best part of my team. He's a good person and if it wasn't for him I wouldn't know half of what I know about buying a house Thanks Ralph”
“Great experience! Very attentive, honest, and dedicated. Professional, efficient, and easy to work with. Highly recommended!”
“We relocated from an area where we had lived our entire lives, and the prospect of moving to another state can often be quite challenging. However, our experience with Kimberly was exceptionally smooth and seamless. Her expertise, combined with the thoughtful and tailored feedback she provided based on our specific criteria, proved invaluable throughout the entire process. She conducted herself with the utmost professionalism while also making us feel genuinely supported, as though we were family. We would highly recommend her to any prospective buyers or sellers seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate professional.”
