Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).
Inventory on the Near South Side has tightened in the latest rolling three-month view, with active listings down nearly 12% from a year ago even as they recently ticked higher month to month. Homes going under contract are slightly above last year, with pending sales up just over 7%, indicating steady buyer interest despite fewer options.
Pricing has softened modestly, as the typical home value is down a bit more than 2% year over year, while the median list price is up slightly compared with last year. Sellers are still in a strong position, with about 56% of homes selling above asking and the average sale-to-list ratio hovering near 103%, showing that well-priced homes can command a premium.
Speed of sales has picked up sharply, with median days on market falling from very elevated levels a year ago to just over seven weeks now and months of supply dropping to about 2.6. Even compared with Chicago overall, where supply is around 2.8 months, the Near South Side leans more toward a seller’s market, yet buyers still see some price relief versus the broader city. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting conditions can use Agent Pronto to connect with a local real estate agent who understands this neighborhood’s dynamics.

“My family and I were very fortunate to have the support of Brittany during the selling of our condo. She's professional, knowledgeable and personable which minimized the stress of the process for us. I would definitely recommend her services to family and friends! Thank you again Brittany for being apart of this journey with us!!”
“Laura is Amazing!”
“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.”
“Shawn is a perfect example of everything a new homeowner could want in a realtor. He's patient, informative and passionate about helping you find the right home. Shawn goes the extra mile in preparing detailed documents on every listing you visit and has a vast knowledge of property pros and cons. You also know you'll get a honest and trustworthy professional at your side when you work with him. I can't recommend Shawn enough!”

“Working with James was a terrific experience. He is most knowledgeable and realistic when evaluating real estate. He always kept me informed and had timely calls regarding our next decisions. I recommend him most highly.”
“Larry is by far the most AMAZING Realtor. He was always very responsive to my calls, texts, request, etc. We built up such a great relationship through this crazy process, that even after we closed on our new home, he reached out to check on us. He is always looking to get the best deal for his clients. He is like family now to us and will always have his own seat next to the firepit in our backyard. I would DEFINETLY recommend Larry to anyone and everyone looking to buy or sell. AMAZING.. Can't say enough Great things about Larry.”
