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

Inventory in Downtown Chicago has tightened in the latest rolling three-month view, with active listings down more than 12% from a year ago and new listings lower by about 10%. Contract activity has cooled alongside supply, as homes sold have dipped nearly 4% year over year and pending sales are down about 11%, signaling slower but still steady turnover.

Pricing has edged higher despite the pullback in activity, with the typical home value up nearly 6% from a year earlier even as the median list price is slightly lower than last year. Sellers are still achieving strong results, with about 32% of homes selling above list and an average sale-to-list ratio just under 100%, while median days on market have shortened by roughly two weeks compared with a year ago.

Compared with the broader city of Chicago, Downtown homes are selling at a premium, with a higher typical home value and a slightly tighter months-of-supply reading near 2.9 months that aligns with a seller’s market designation. Conditions have shifted from the higher inventory levels and longer timelines seen in 2024 to a leaner, faster-moving environment that rewards realistic pricing and prepared buyers. Whether you are a buyer navigating fewer options or a seller aiming to capitalize on solid demand, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands these dynamics and can guide your next move.

“This was our second time using Daniel and he did a fantastic job helping us sell our current home and buy a new home. We had a lot of questions and he was always available and responsive to answer. I appreciated that he gave us his thoughts throughout the process, but also made it clear that every decision was ultimately ours to make. During the buying process, he really went above and beyond by getting more information on what the seller was motivated by, which helped us make a strong offer, and I believe really helped us land our home. On the selling side, we needed to sell our home quickly and Daniel was very well prepared with comps, open houses, and tours which helped us land an offer quickly. Overall, I highly recommend Daniel and will definitely use him again in the future!”

“Selling our first home was emotional, and we couldn’t have asked for a better realtor than Brittany. When our first offer fell through, she had us under contract with a second offer within 24 hours! Her unwavering confidence and steady reassurance helped us feel at ease during such an uncertain time, especially as first-time sellers. Brittany supported us every step of the way, always making time to listen, answer our questions, and talk through our concerns. We felt heard, cared for, and confident that she had our best interests at heart. This was our second real estate transaction with Brittany, and we would never work with anyone else. We’re so grateful for her dedication, expertise, and kindness. We cannot recommend her highly enough!”

“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.”

“From start to finish, Joe was incredible to work with. He walked us through all our options every step of the process. We lived out of state when selling our condo and Joe was a trusted advisor, on site whenever needed, and handled all the little details. We trusted Joe and he got the job done - and more! We could not recommend Joe more as a realtor.”

“Moving to Chicago from Cleveland, I had no idea where to start with my apartment search. A close friend recommended Mr. Jaramillo, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the referral. From start to finish, Vinny went above and beyond to ensure the process was seamless. His hospitality is truly remarkable, and he genuinely cares about his clients. Whenever I had a question or concern, Vinny responded promptly and with great attention to detail. His communication skills are impeccable, making every step of the process easy to navigate. There was never a dull moment, and I felt supported every step of the way. Thanks to Vinny, I was able to find and secure a one-of-a-kind apartment that truly feels like home. I couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend Mr. Jaramillo to anyone searching for a new place. He exceeded all expectations, and I’m extremely grateful for his dedication and expertise.”

We analyzed several properties until we found the right one. Grateful for all your help, Paul.”
