“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.”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).
Inventory and sales activity in Chatham are moving at a brisk pace in this rolling three-month view. Active listings are up more than 25% year over year, yet homes sold have climbed nearly as much, showing that demand is keeping up with supply. Pending sales are also up strongly from a year ago, and with just 1 month of supply, the area is firmly in seller’s market territory.
Home prices are edging higher even as more properties come to market. The typical home value is up around 9% compared with a year earlier, while the median list price is only slightly higher year over year, suggesting sellers are pricing close to what buyers will pay. Homes are selling quickly, with a median of just 4 days on market, a dramatic decline from last year’s pace.
Competition around desirable homes is evident in how often buyers are bidding aggressively. Just over half of recent sales closed above the list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio is above 102%, indicating buyers are often paying more than asking to secure a home. A large share of properties go under contract within two weeks, underscoring the need to move decisively. In this fast-moving environment, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an experienced local agent to guide their decisions.

Chatham offers residents a friendly, close-knit community with strong schools, convenient amenities, safe neighborhoods, and plentiful outdoor spaces for everyday living.
Chatham stands out from nearby Springfield and Riverton by offering a smaller town feel paired with quick access to major employers, shopping, and cultural amenities. Residents value its steady growth, strong schools, and a pace of life that feels close-knit without being isolated.
Community life often centers on local parks and events. Families spend weekends at South Park, cheering at ball fields or enjoying playgrounds and walking paths. The Chatham Area Public Library hosts year-round programs for all ages, giving newcomers an easy way to meet neighbors. Seasonal festivals and youth sports build connections that make it easy to feel at home quickly.
Education is a key draw, with Ball-Chatham Community Unit School District 5 recognized for academic and extracurricular offerings. Proximity to Springfield means convenient access to state government, medical centers, and the arts, while keeping daily life grounded in a suburban setting. Dining spots like Sgt. Peppers Cafe and recreation at Chatham Community Park round out everyday living.
Whether you are relocating to Chatham or moving across town, timing and preparation matter. Understanding current inventory, school-year transitions, and commuter patterns can shape your strategy.

“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.

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.”
