Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Year-over-year, Near North Side has seen home values rise while activity has cooled. The typical home value is up about 5 percent from a year ago, even as homes sold, new listings, and pending sales have all declined by roughly 10 to 15 percent over the same rolling three-month period.
In the latest rolling three-month view through September 2026, buyers are seeing fewer options and faster decisions. Active listings are down more than 14 percent from last year, months of supply has dropped sharply to about three months from nearly five, and homes are going under contract in a median of 57 days compared with 80 days a year ago.
Pricing dynamics show steady demand, with the share of homes selling above list price edging up to about 28 percent and the average sale-to-list ratio hovering just under 100 percent. Compared with the broader Chicago market, Near North Side remains slightly higher-priced and similarly tilted toward sellers, and Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these trends.
Learn more about what Near North Side has to offer.
Near North Side offers residents a lively blend of historic architecture, world-class dining, parks and lakefront access, vibrant cultural venues, and convenient transit, all within a compact, walkable urban setting.
Near North Side sits just north of downtown Chicago, offering some of the city’s most walkable streets, extensive transit access, and a mix of historic and contemporary housing. High rises along the lakefront, classic brownstones in Gold Coast, and lofts closer to River North give buyers and renters a broad range of choices, all within minutes of the Loop and the CTA rail network.
Everyday life here is defined by convenience. Residents can stroll the lakefront at Ohio Street Beach, shop along Magnificent Mile, or visit Oak Street Beach for an after-work break. Dining and nightlife hub River North places acclaimed restaurants and galleries within easy reach, while the Near North Branch Library and neighborhood parks support a more low-key daily rhythm. Families look to options like Ogden International School and nearby cultural institutions such as the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago.
Commuters appreciate straightforward access to downtown, West Loop, and the Near West Side, with Metra service from nearby Ogilvie Transportation Center and quick links to Lincoln Park and Lakeview.
Because the Near North Side market moves quickly and varies block to block, partnering with a knowledgeable local agent helps you weigh amenities, transit access, and long term value.

“This was our second time using Daniel and he did a fantastic job helping us sell our current home and buy a new home. We had a lot of questions and he was always available and responsive to answer. I appreciated that he gave us his thoughts throughout the process, but also made it clear that every decision was ultimately ours to make. During the buying process, he really went above and beyond by getting more information on what the seller was motivated by, which helped us make a strong offer, and I believe really helped us land our home. On the selling side, we needed to sell our home quickly and Daniel was very well prepared with comps, open houses, and tours which helped us land an offer quickly. Overall, I highly recommend Daniel and will definitely use him again in the future!”
“Stephany and her team were great. They were proactive, led me thru the process accordingly and were very knowledgeable on all aspects of the sale and purchasing side. Definitely recommend and will be working again with Stephany in the future.”
“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!”
“Carrie and her team were amazing from start to finish. We felt taken care of every step of the way, despite it being the first time we've sold a property. They were quick to respond when we had questions. They accommodated us as by grouping showings as best as possible. Carrie was always open to a call to help walk us through the options and negotiations which was greatly appreciated. 10/10 would recommend!”
“I've worked with Shawn Jones for nearly 10 years. He helped me find my first apartment, and first home after getting married. He is a deeply considerate, caring, and experienced agent. I can't recommend him highly enough.”
“Emir is a wonderful agent! His expertise in real estate was great and he was extremely helpful with any questions. He was patient and always responded in a timely manner. I would highly recommend hiring Emir as your agent!”
“Paula was fantastic! She was knowledgeable, very responsive, and was able to walk me through the process step-by-step as a first-time seller. Would highly recommend to anyone and everyone!”
“Laura is Amazing!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Michelle was highly recommended to me by my ex-wife. Michelle exceeded my expectations. She guided me through the entire process. She also recommend a great real estate lawyer who was on top of everything. When things got a little messy, Michelle was on top of everything and made the right calls that got my house sold with a quick sale that I really needed. She is the best.”
“Iris was excellent! Her ability to negotiate through unusal circumstances was extraordinary. Always kind and understanding. We would highly recommend her and would use her services again in the future. Barbara and Henry Brewster”
“Working with Dontae was an absolute pleasure. He made the entire home-buying process easy and stress-free, always taking the time to explain things clearly and answer any questions I had. What I appreciated most was that I never felt pressured. His knowledge of the market and genuine care for finding the right home for me really stood out. I’m grateful for his help and would recommend Dontae to anyone looking for a new home.”
“Juan helped us immensely in buying our first home and answered every question we had. Would 100% recommend.”
“Andrea was a great help in finding my home. She is very hands-on and informative with the task at hand. She was able to find us a home very fast and exactly what we wanted.”
“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.”
