Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Inventory in Kenwood has expanded relative to the rest of Chicago, with 122 active listings but still about 18% fewer homes on the market than a year ago in this rolling three-month view. Contract activity has slowed year over year, as homes sold are down nearly 40% and new listings are lower by about 25%, though pending sales have only slipped around 10%.
Pricing has moved upward over the past year even as activity cooled. The typical home value is up about 19% year over year and the median list price has climbed nearly 22%, while the average sale-to-list ratio remains close to 97%, indicating buyers and sellers are negotiating but staying relatively near asking prices.
Time on market has lengthened sharply, with the median days on market jumping more than fourfold from a year ago and months of supply rising to about 7.2 compared with roughly 3.1 months across Chicago. Even so, a little over 16% of recent sales in Kenwood still close above list price, showing that well-positioned homes can draw stronger offers. Buyers face more options and slower pacing, while sellers must price carefully in this higher-supply environment, and Agent Pronto can connect both sides with an agent who understands these shifting dynamics.

“Paula had a very calming, professional presence to her. Paula was on-time, knowledgeable, brought up important points, suggestions and realistic timelines. Home looking is exciting and stressful and a good Agent in my opinion, reels you in a little towards reality. Pumping the brakes. Paula's communication was consistent and accurate and she was there when I needed her. Certainly made the process easier for me and I am happy to have worked with her.”

“Originally we were referred by our first lender and we could not have been more fortunate to work with Vicky and Sam. They were professional and realistic regarding our home search. We had not purchased a home in a very long time and Vicky was patient and understanding and was so attentive. avidly referred us to our second lender (the first was not communicative) and it was wonderful. Overall the whole experience was great! Thank you for helping us find our dream home!”

“Working with Tracy to buy our home was a great experience and she was always available and communicative even as we navigated some difficult parts of the negotiation with the seller. She was personally at every visit and even at the inspection and closing, going way above and beyond my expectations and previous experiences with buying agents. Thanks to her we found a home for our family and while we don't plan to buy in the near future I'd be happy to work with her again and again. Thanks Tracy!”

“Barb was 1/20 realtors who was willing to work with me in the beginning over 9 years ago. This is when I first purchased my home. I was cheap buyer. It went without saying I was going to be using her for the sale of the home 9 years later. She handled the hurdles flawlessly and talked me through and coached me the entire way. To say I appreciate her is an understatement. I sold my home after we relocated it of state and she coordinated every logistic of that sale on my behalf to he best of her ability. I recommend her without fail and would point every person in her direction that has a need for a solid realtor.”

“Working with Emir is always a pleasure. He was very helpful in coordinating work on our house for sale, working with vendors and providing valuable feedback on neccesary work vs. potential work items unlikely to generate return. We closed sale of house 3 weeks from time of first listing. I'd worked with Emir before and hope to do so again in the future.”

“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.”
