Far Southeast Side home prices in this rolling three-month window are running a bit higher than a year ago. The typical home value is up about 4 percent year over year, while the median list price has climbed by a similar amount. Listing activity has eased compared with last year, with both active listings and new listings down slightly.
Looking more closely at the latest period through September 2026, buyers have a sizable pool of 1,273 active listings to consider, and homes are taking a median of 76 days to go under contract. Sales volume is steady, with 454 homes sold over the three months and a modest year-over-year gain in closed sales.
Pricing power has tilted somewhat toward sellers, as nearly 37 percent of recent sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 99 percent. Even so, months of supply sits at 4.5, which is higher than Chicago overall and gives buyers a bit more breathing room. Compared with the broader city, Far Southeast Side offers substantially lower typical home values, which may appeal to value-focused shoppers. With conditions showing elements of both opportunity and pressure, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a local agent who understands how to navigate this evolving market.
