Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).
Inventory in Garfield Ridge has been expanding in this rolling three-month view, with active listings up compared with last year and sitting at 159, while new listings have edged higher as well. Homes are moving through the pipeline quickly, as pending sales and closed sales are both up year over year, and months of supply has tightened to 2.1, signaling stronger demand than in the broader Chicago market, which sits at 2.8 months.
Prices have been reacting to this firm demand, with the typical home value up about 9 percent from a year ago and the median list price rising at a similar pace. More than 48 percent of recent sales closed above asking, and the average sale-to-list ratio is just over 100 percent, indicating buyers are often paying right at or slightly above list to win a home.
Conditions over the past year show a shift toward a clearer seller’s advantage, as homes sold have climbed sharply while supply has generally trended lower. At the same time, median days on market in this period is longer than a year ago, suggesting that while many homes move quickly, others take more time to find the right buyer. Whether you are weighing how to price your home or deciding how aggressive to be with an offer, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a Garfield Ridge agent who understands these trends.
