Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026 - Aug 2026).
Inventory and contract activity in Garfield Ridge have cooled in this rolling three-month view, with active listings down about 11% and homes sold slipping nearly 5% compared with a year ago. New listings and pending sales have fallen even faster, each dropping more than 15% year over year, signaling fewer fresh options and a slower flow of homes going under contract.
On the pricing side, values are still edging higher despite the softer sales pace, as the typical home value is up about 6% year over year while median list prices have risen just over 3%. Homes are taking a bit longer to sell, with median days on market up around 9% from last year, yet months of supply sits at a lean 2.6 months, keeping conditions tilted toward sellers.
Competition around desirable properties has intensified, with roughly 55% of recent sales closing above list price, a jump of more than 10 percentage points from a year earlier, and the average sale-to-list ratio hovering just above 100%. Compared with the broader Chicago market, Garfield Ridge has slightly tighter supply and lower typical prices, which can appeal to buyers seeking relative value without giving up much on pace.
In a neighborhood where inventory is limited but prices are still climbing, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a local agent who understands these dynamics and can help them navigate their next move with confidence.

“Kim was amazing. I reached out early to ask a bunch of questions and get some tips on what to do before listing. She kept in touch with me for weeks before I was finally ready to list. Once it went on the market she had it sold in 24 hours! From start to finish Kim was responsive and patient with all of my questions and concerns. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell!”
“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!”
“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. Would only work with them again and would recommend them to family and friends.”
“Katherine Rubis was very patient with me during the year that I was looking for homes. She was always available to discuss our next steps or to show me new listings. Every single part of the process that Katherine handled was very smooth and easy for me. She is an outstanding agent and I will definitely call her when I am in the market to sell or buy a home again. There is nothing else she could have done to make me more satisfied with working with her. I have zero complaints.”
“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.”

“I had an amazing experience working with Erick when purchasing my new home. From the very beginning, he took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and offered valuable insights into the housing market. Erick was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and responsive, answering all my questions and guiding me through every step of the process. The process of finding the perfect home can be overwhelming, but Erick made it seamless. He was always available to schedule viewings at my convenience, and when we found the right place, he worked tirelessly to ensure my offer was competitive and that all the paperwork was handled efficiently. Thanks to Erick, I now own a home that I absolutely love. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and professional real estate agent.”

He was always very responsive to my calls, texts, request, etc. We built up such a great relationship through this crazy process, that even after we closed on our new home, he reached out to check on us. He is always looking to get the best deal for his clients. He is like family now to us and will always have his own seat next to the firepit in our backyard. I would DEFINETLY recommend Larry to anyone and everyone looking to buy or sell. AMAZING.. Can't say enough Great things about Larry.”
