Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Inventory in Near South Side has loosened somewhat in this rolling three-month view, with about 375 active listings even as levels are slightly below a year ago. Homes are still moving at a healthy clip, as roughly 182 properties sold and another 207 went under contract, both up compared with the same period last year.
Prices are holding relatively steady, with a typical home value around $412,000 and only a modest year-over-year dip. Sellers are often achieving strong results, as about 53% of recent sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio sits just over 102%, signaling frequent bidding above asking.
Speed has picked up notably, with the median time on market down compared with last year and now around 52 days, and months of supply tighter at about 2.6 months versus higher levels seen in prior years. With Near South Side showing slightly leaner inventory than Chicago overall and conditions tilted toward sellers, Agent Pronto can help both buyers and sellers connect with the right local agent to navigate this market with confidence.

“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.”

“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.”
