Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).

Inventory on Chicago’s Near South Side has tightened over the past year, with active listings in this rolling three-month window down sharply from a year ago and new listings falling more than 18 percent. Contract activity has cooled in step, as pending sales declined year over year and months of supply sits at a lean 2.6, underscoring a seller’s market where buyers have fewer options than the broader Chicago area.

Pricing has edged higher despite the slower flow of new homes, with the typical home value up nearly 5 percent year over year in this three-month period. At the same time, median list prices are only modestly higher than a year ago, and the share of properties selling above list has slipped compared with last year, suggesting buyers are gaining slightly more room to negotiate even as sale-to-list ratios still hover just above 100 percent.

Time on market offers another sign of shifting dynamics, as homes now take about 66 days to sell, a bit quicker than a year ago but notably slower than earlier in 2026. While sales volumes in this rolling window are slightly above last year, the combination of fewer new listings and steady demand continues to favor sellers. Buyers trying to compete in this low-supply environment and sellers aiming to price correctly from the start can both benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an experienced local agent.

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”
