Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).
Year-over-year, Lincoln Square’s rolling three-month home values have climbed notably, with the typical home value up over 12 percent while median list prices have surged more than 38 percent. Compared with the broader Chicago market, where prices are also rising but at a slower pace, this neighborhood is seeing especially strong appreciation and seller leverage.
Looking at the latest rolling three-month snapshot through July 2026, homes typically sold for about $600,000 with a median list price just under that level. Inventory remains tight at 1.3 months of supply and around 196 active listings, signaling limited options for buyers despite a modest increase in listings versus last year.
Buyer activity has held firm, with homes sold up nearly 5 percent and pending sales up almost 20 percent from a year ago, even as median days on market stretched to about six weeks. With roughly two-thirds of homes selling above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio above 105 percent, conditions strongly favor sellers, and Agent Pronto can help both buyers and sellers find an agent who understands how to navigate this fast-moving Lincoln Square market.
