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

Year-over-year, Chicago’s rolling three-month typical home value has risen solidly, up nearly 8 percent from last September. List prices also moved higher by more than 5 percent over the same period, signaling that overall home values have been trending upward despite some recent softening.

Within the latest rolling three-month window ending in September 2026, buyers are seeing a bit more breathing room in prices compared with early summer, as both typical values and list prices have dipped month over month. Still, homes are selling for just over 100 percent of list on average, and about 44 percent of recent sales closed above asking, underscoring that well-priced homes continue to draw strong interest.

Inventory conditions show fewer active listings than a year ago and a notable 33 percent drop in months of supply, keeping Chicago in a seller’s market even as sales and new listings have edged slightly lower year over year. Although median days on market have lengthened compared with early summer, they remain a bit faster than last year, suggesting that desirable properties still move at a steady pace. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting dynamics can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a Chicago real estate agent who understands the current data and local conditions.

“Brittany was so confident and optimistic from day one and made herself available any time of day, with very prompt communication on any request or update! She came prepared before even meeting me, educated on comparisons and providing examples from the start! She even had a strategy, and always thought in the markets shoes, determining when is the best day, or even time of day to update or post my listing! She had my back the whole time, and gave her honest opinion and advice for counter offers, and asking price, while also respecting my decision the whole time! I am thankful she helped me sell my townhome, in under 40 days on the market! 👏👏”

“For a first time homebuyer it feel important to have someone in your corner who knows the area and the business. Victoria and team are those people you want. She was patient, understanding, and transparent during the process. If I ever sell or buy a new home, I'll be contacting her again.”

“We weren’t sure how to compare the offers on our house beyond the price. Ryan walked us through the financing, contingencies, and closing dates so we understood the differences. He was patient with our questions and kept us updated as we moved toward closing. We appreciated being able to reach him when something came up.”

“Over a Decade of Trust, Loyalty, and Exceptional Service — 5 Stars! When I moved to Chicago over 10 years ago, Blake Galler was the broker who helped me find my very first apartment. Little did I know that would be the beginning of not only a long-standing professional relationship, but also a genuine friendship. A few years later, Blake helped me purchase my first home, which also happened to be his very first sale in Chicago! It's been incredible to watch his career and business grow over the years, and I'm proud to have been a small part of that journey. More than a decade later, Blake continues to be someone I trust wholeheartedly. I've referred countless friends, colleagues, and personal connections to him because I know they'll receive the same exceptional service, honesty, and dedication that I've experienced firsthand. What truly sets Blake apart is that he doesn't just treat you like another transaction. He builds relationships. He's incredibly responsive, follows through on his promises, knows his market, and genuinely cares about the people he represents. Whether you're renting your first apartment, buying your first home, or navigating your next real estate move, Blake brings the same level of commitment and personal attention every single time. In an industry where relationships can sometimes feel transactional, Blake is the real deal. He's earned my trust, my loyalty, and, most importantly, my friendship. Over 10 years later, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a broker who truly delivers. Five stars aren't enough!”

“We had an amazing experience working with Rizwan to purchase our first home. From our very first meeting at a coffee shop—where he took the time to understand our priorities and clearly explain the entire process—he was the perfect guide for us. We found Rizwan to be highly competent, reliable, and a deeply skilled negotiator. Most importantly (and indeed this is quite rare in our world), we always felt he had our best interests at heart and never rushed us into a decision. When the perfect house came along, he acted quickly to secure it with the right offer. We highly recommend him! P.S. He's also very fun to work with!”

“I worked with Eric for the better course of a year to land my first property, and Eric demonstrated extreme patience, flexibility, excellent communication, and great professionalism throughout the whole process. Eric is extremely knowledgeable in his expertise and makes the buyer feel comfortable and confident in their decisions. Eric is extremely approachable and supportive, and I would recommend anyone in the buying market to reach out to Eric with any questions, tours, or any housing-related items.”

“Holly was everything and more I could ask for when I needed someone to help me with the sale of my home. After moving across country, holly orchestrated everything; from pictures to showings, to letting junk removal in, to double checking things for me. She was always a phone call away and incredibly responsive to any inquiries I had (there were a lot). Being states away now from my property, Holly made me feel at ease. And with settling into a new place and a new job, suddenly the sale of my house was on the back of my mind because I knew Holly could take care of everything. Listed with gorgeous pictures right away, four offers in less than a week and a half, and a final offer that was above asking, she did everything I needed and more. Couldn’t recommend a better realtor for your needs.”

“In today’s world, when reviewing a product and/or business, Artificial Intelligence tends to be used to get it done in a fast and efficient manner. That would be an absolute disservice to Miriam’s work product and personality. She is genuine. She is responsive. She is intelligent. She is kind. My favorite aspect of Miriam’s work is her past experience working at a property management company. She understands how a building is run, the importance of the building’s budget, and other minor details you would never even think of. She is simply the best, and you should definitely give her the opportunity to help you find your new home!”

“I highly recommend working with Cesar. One of the things I liked best about working with him was that he really seemed to have my best interests at heart. This man will be pulling out his phone light checking basement corners for any signs of mold or water and checking above every stove to see if there’s a proper vent or not. He noticed many things on walk throughs that my parents and I may have just breezed right past and he makes sure to point out the things he notices, good or bad. They say never trust a sales person but idk, I think Cesar’s just in it for the love of the game at this point. I dragged this man to a LOT of houses and he never once rushed me. He was very insistent that we need to find the right fit for me and that I not go past the amount of money I was comfortable with. This was my first time buying a home so I had about 80,000 questions and he was always happy to talk through any questions or concerns. He’s a fun guy to work with as well. In these trying times you need a sense of humor or the home buying process will be miserable. All in all I would definitely recommend working with him.”

“With Diana’s marketing expertise and beautiful professional photos of our house, our house got $100k overasking within the first 24hrs of our listing going live. She did an amazing job protecting our interest and shielding us from random inquiries. We had more than 14 showings in 48 hrs, multiple offers, and several bids.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better agent than Christin Kaufman to help us sell our home. Our transaction turned out to be far more challenging than we ever expected. We were dealing with an extremely demanding buyer and what seemed like an endless stream of questions, concerns, and new requests.  Through all of it, Christin was fantastic. She stayed calm, kept us focused on the end goal, helped us separate the important issues from the noise, and guided us through every new twist without letting the process get off track. She was always responsive, patient, and willing to talk through our options. Anyone can look like a great real estate agent when a transaction goes perfectly. You really learn the value of your agent when things get difficult. Christin proved her value to us over and over again and ultimately helped us get across the finish line. We are incredibly grateful for everything she did for us and would recommend Christin without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”

“Renee is an incredibly knowledgeable agent that has a lot of experience, cares about her clients, and is trustworthy !! She knows the ins and outs of current real estate markets and how to strategically price a property so that it will sell in a timely manner but with the highest yield!! She has sold two of our properties over the last eight years (one in Illinois and one in Wisconsin) and we received more than we expected on each of the sales!! We cannot recommend her highly enough! Thank you so much, Renee!!”

“We could not have asked for a better realtor. Susan was there for us through each and every step of selling our house. Not only is she a wonderful and kind person, but her experience and expertise are unmatched! Her communication and response is excellent and she is extremely knowledgeable. She sold our house for a significant amount over asking and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the services she provided for us. We highly recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again in the future.”
