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

Year-over-year, Chicago home values have pushed higher, with the typical home value up about 6 percent in this rolling three-month view and the median list price rising roughly 8 percent. At the same time, homes are moving faster than a year ago, as the median days on market has dropped significantly and a larger share of properties are selling above list price.

Looking at the latest three-month period ending in May 2026, the typical home value sits around $420,000, closely aligned with a median list price near $421,000. Sellers are often getting what they ask for and slightly more, with the average sale-to-list ratio just over 101 percent and about 45 percent of homes closing above the asking price.

Inventory trends paint a mixed picture, with active listings down modestly versus last year while homes sold and pending sales are slightly higher. With months of supply at 3.1, conditions lean toward sellers, yet buyers still have thousands of homes to choose from across the city. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a local Chicago agent who understands these trends and can help them navigate their next move with confidence.

“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!”

“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.”

“Kim has sold two properties for me this year, and in both transactions she did a fantastic job. She was always responsive, communicated clearly throughout the process, and took the time to answer every question I had. Her professionalism, market knowledge, and attention to detail made each sale go smoothly. I would highly recommend Kim and her team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area. Based on my experiences, I personally would not hire any other agent to sell a house.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Becki from Laura Topp’s team was incredible in helping me purchase my first property, a brick 2-flat in Chicago’s highly competitive north and west side market. Inventory was extremely limited and we toured at least 20 properties throughout the process. Becki was consistently accommodating with her time, prepared detailed reports for every showing and approached each opportunity with a thoughtful strategy. She genuinely treated the search as if she were buying the property for herself. When we finally found the right building, Becki skillfully negotiated with the listing agent and played a major role in getting the deal done while still protecting my interests and keeping the transaction together. The listing agent even praised her professionalism and credited her with helping secure the deal. Throughout closing, she remained diligent, communicative and focused on making sure I understood every step of the process and felt protected as a buyer. I cannot recommend Becki and Laura Topp”

“Our house could be considered high end property in the neighborhood. Cinny worked hard to get it under the contract in a week and sold our house a little over a month. We are happy about the result. During the process, there were ups and downs which made us nervious. Cinny listened to our concerns and gave us professional advice.”
