Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Inventory in Kenwood has tightened in this rolling three-month window, with active listings down nearly 20 percent year over year and new listings falling at a similar pace. Contract activity has also cooled, as homes sold and pending sales are each down roughly 20 to 30 percent compared with a year ago, pointing to a slower flow of deals.
Prices have been relatively steady despite the softer sales backdrop, with the typical home value edging up about 2 percent year over year while the median list price is essentially flat. Homes are taking longer to sell than a year ago, as median days on market have risen to 77 days, yet months of supply has actually dipped about 12 percent, reinforcing the area’s seller-leaning conditions.
Compared with the broader Chicago market, Kenwood’s months of supply is slightly higher than the city’s three months but still lines up with its classification as a seller’s market. With only about 17 percent of homes selling above list and the average sale-to-list ratio hovering near 98 percent, both sides are negotiating within a relatively narrow price band. Buyers who want to navigate these shifting conditions and sellers who aim to price correctly can both benefit from Agent Pronto helping them find the right local agent.

“Laura is hard working, dedicated, and responsive. She understood the challenges of a cash-only sale and made things happen that would have been dropped by less motivated realtors. As my listing agent she closed a sale on a property that was very difficult to sell at a sales price that other realtors balked at. She earned every penny of her commission. Hire her! You won’t regret it.”
“I highly recommend Jason as a realtor! He was professional, honest, trustworthy, and truly made the process of selling my home feel smooth and stress-free. He was always responsive, knowledgeable, and had my best interests in mind throughout the entire process. I felt confident knowing I was in good hands. Thank you, Jason, for your hard work and professionalism!”
“Selling our condo was a much smoother experience than I expected, and I truly have Larry to thank for that. From the very beginning, he was knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly professional. Night or Day, weekday or weekend Larry answered the phone and communicated actively any information about the process to us. A true professional. He guided us through every step of the process, answered all of my questions, and always made us feel confident in the decisions we were making. What impressed me most was his negotiation skills. Larry advocated for our best interests every step of the way and worked hard to secure the best possible outcome. We always felt like he had our back and never settled for less than what our home was worth. If you’re looking for an agent who is honest, strategic, communicative, and genuinely invested in their clients, we can’t recommend Larry Lazar highly enough. Selling a home can be stressful, but he made the entire process seamless. We would absolutely work with him again and recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.”
“Cannot emphasize enough how helpful Brad was during this whole process. We had literally zero idea about what we were doing and he helped in so many ways.”
“We drug him all over the city looking for the perfect home. Marc was with us every step of the way. He gave us solid advice and knew exactly what we were looking for. He made himself available morning, noon, and night for all of our questions.”
“Working with Henry and the Heart of Chicago Homes team was an incredible experience from start to finish. Throughout the entire process, I always felt supported, informed, and confident knowing he and the team had our best interests in mind. We were searching in one of the most competitive markets, and the townhome we fell in love with ended up receiving multiple offers. Although our offer wasn’t accepted initially, Henry stayed persistent and maintained consistent communication with the listing agent. Thanks to his dedication and follow-up, he was able to position us next in line and ultimately help us secure our dream home when the first deal fell through. Even though we originally had the second-best offer, his hard work, relationships, and determination made all the difference. We couldn’t be more grateful and would highly recommend Henry and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”
“Walker was very responsive and would reply at most times of day quickly which was helpful as I work strange hours. Very knowledgeable. Thanks so much’”
“We cannot thank Mike and his team enough for their hard work. They are the definition of professional and were always one step ahead, keeping us informed every step of the way. They made what can usually be a stressful process feel incredibly easy and made the entire process seamless. They truly get things done. Highly recommend!”
“I chose Helen because I knew I could count on her knowledge of the market as well as the neighborhoods of Chicago. She was incredibly knowledgeable throughout the entire process and always made me feel confident in her ability to address any questions or concerns I had. In fact, any question, concern, or issue that came up was addressed immediately. She was unbelievably responsive throughout the entire process. Purchasing a home can feel stressful and overwhelming at times, but Helen’s level of communication and follow through made all the difference. This is actually my second time using Helen as a realtor. A few years ago, she also sold a condo for me, and the confidence I had in her skills then was exactly why I contacted her again when I was looking for a new home. I would highly recommend Helen to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home!”
“We’d like take the time thank Team Newman for all efforts in helping us sell our condo in Chicago. Working with Scott, Michelle, and Katie was an absolute game-changer in selling our Chicago condo. From day one, they went far beyond what we expected, bringing not just deep market knowledge, but genuine dedication and care to every step of the process. They took the time to understand our goals, gave smart data-driven recommendations, and were always willing to share their advice at each step of the process. What really stood out was their willingness to go the extra mile. They made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. Thanks to their expertise and commitment, our condo sold quickly and at a fantastic price. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell in Chicago. Truly a five-star experience from start to finish!”
“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.”
“Jakeshia Thomas provided a great service. She helped us navigate a concurrent closing deal involving multiple real estate transactions, She repeated us, the buyers. She went above and beyond, making our real estate experience smooth and stress-free. Her level of professionalism and patience when working with first-time is unmatched. I can’t say enough positive things about her.”
“We had an amazing experience working with Primal and cannot recommend him highly enough! From the beginning, he was incredibly responsive to every question we had—no matter how big or small. We truly appreciated how kind and patient he was with us, especially as we changed our minds multiple times about location and price. He never made us feel rushed or pressured, and instead took the time to help us find the right fit. What really stood out was how honest and down-to-earth he is. He pointed out things we would have never considered on our own, which made us feel informed and confident in our decision-making process. It was clear he genuinely had our best interests at heart. He worked so hard on our behalf and ultimately helped us secure a beautiful apartment that checked all of our (many) boxes. Even with his busy schedule, he consistently went above and beyond in his communication and support. Primal is everything you could want in a realtor: knowledgeable, honest, kind, compassionate, and friendly. We HIGHLY recommend working with him for any real estate needs, whether you're looking to rent an apartment or buy a house. He will go above and beyond to help you find exactly what you're looking for!”
“Would use Lizette again, very easy to work with & very professional. Would recommend here 100% to Friends.”
“Reggie was amazing and so supportive through the whole process. He always took the time to explain anything that was confusing to me as a first time home buyer and he helped me find everyone else I needed to help me with the home buying process like a loan processor and attorney and everything. Highly recommend him to anyone and everyone!”
“James Salazar offered us specific advice in preparing our home for sale, including painting neutral colors and using a staging service. As we made those preparations, James listed our home on the private listing network and set a Saturday date for the first showings. We received four offers within a few days and accepted an offer with few contingencies at a price 9% above listing. Closing was fast and painless. When we used James as our agent when buying, we found his advice supportive, professional and insightful. In our first experience with him as sellers, we enjoyed the same professionalism and sound advice.”
“Kat was simply amazing! I was a first time buyer with a lot of gaps in my knowledge and she was super about answering my questions, responding to my last minute “wait what about..” moments and just educating me about what the expect. She is someone who clearly gets a lot out of helping folks find their perfect place and was always the first to ask the tough questions that I didn’t think to/know you could ask!”
“Juan helped us immensely in buying our first home and answered every question we had. Would 100% recommend.”
“Thalia is an amazing realtor! 10/10! 5 stars! As a first time home buyer, I did not know what to expect or what the process of buying a home was. Thalia was amazing when she sat down with me and walked me through each and every step. She is extremely knowledgeable, and always available. I really appreciated her efficiency; Thalia works at the buyers pace, and when she says something will get done…..it gets done. She was always available to answer any and all of my questions….at anytime of the day! I am so happy Thalia was my realtor, and if I ever need to buy or sell a property, I will be calling Thalia back.”
