“We can't recommend Brittany enough. She was extremely personable, patient, and a clear communicator from day one which was as honestly years ago when we thought we were moving...then didn't...then did. Her knowledge of the western suburbs is awesome, especially when it comes to crucial inspection details. We would have never even thought to ask about radon checks or sewer scopes (as well as warning about things like oil drums in crawl spaces) but she guided us through it all and made sure we were completely protected. Unlike other realtors we’ve worked with in the past, she truly fought for us every step of the way while being so understanding of our specific needs. Highly recommend Brittany and so happy we chose her.”

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.

“In today’s world, when reviewing a product and/or business, Artificial Intelligence tends to be used to get it done in a fast and efficient manner. That would be an absolute disservice to Miriam’s work product and personality. She is genuine. She is responsive. She is intelligent. She is kind. My favorite aspect of Miriam’s work is her past experience working at a property management company. She understands how a building is run, the importance of the building’s budget, and other minor details you would never even think of. She is simply the best, and you should definitely give her the opportunity to help you find your new home!”
“Renee is an incredibly knowledgeable agent that has a lot of experience, cares about her clients, and is trustworthy !! She knows the ins and outs of current real estate markets and how to strategically price a property so that it will sell in a timely manner but with the highest yield!! She has sold two of our properties over the last eight years (one in Illinois and one in Wisconsin) and we received more than we expected on each of the sales!! We cannot recommend her highly enough! Thank you so much, Renee!!”
“Daniel had helped us in the past with the purchase of our first home so it was an easy decision when we decided it was time to move again to use him. He was accommodating, helpful and gave insight when we were looking for a new house in a new area. He listened to our wants and pointed things out we may not have noticed ourselves. This time we used Daniel for the sale of our condo and the purchase of our new home and was attentive, engaged & made both the purchase and sale happen seamlessly. I highly recommend Daniel to anyone selling or buying! With him you will find someone who genuinely wants to help with the difficult process of buying / selling.”
“Daniel did an outstanding job with helping us purchase our condo. He gave great advice when we needed it and was always available when we contacted him. Highly recommend!!!”
“Working with Aaron was a wonderful experience from day one. From start to finish, the level of communication was top-tier—I was always kept in the loop and never had to wonder what the next step was. He was incredibly proactive and made sure we were completely prepared for every milestone, inspection, and deadline long before it arrived. The entire buying and selling process felt smooth and organized. Thank you, Aaron!”
“We had a great experience working with Giovanni to sell our home in Chicago. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. He made everything feel smooth and stress-free, from preparing our home for the market to closing the sale. We always felt like we were in good hands and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. We would highly recommend Giovanni to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”
“Jem did an amazing job helping me find my home . She was thoughtful, and definitely had my best interest in mind . She was right by my side through the entire process , advocated for me . Her knowledge and expertise is exceptional as well as her negotiating skills . Thanks to Jen I was able to find the home I was looking for, my perfect fit. She took the time to understand my needs and preferences and did an amazing job. Definitely recommend without hesitation. Thank you Jem !!!”
“Nancy Cirje was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was friendly, professional, responsive, and made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. Nancy was always available when I had questions and truly went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. I really appreciated her knowledge, attention to detail, and the personal care she brought to the experience. I would highly recommend Nancy to anyone looking for a listing agent who genuinely cares about her clients!”
“I had a great experience working with Mr. Danny during my home-buying journey. He was professional, knowledgeable, and always available to answer my questions. His guidance made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Mr. Danny paid close attention to my needs and helped me find the right home without any pressure. I truly appreciate his patience, honesty, and dedication. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a house.”
“Laura is hard working, dedicated, and responsive. She understood the challenges of a cash-only sale and made things happen that would have been dropped by less motivated realtors. As my listing agent she closed a sale on a property that was very difficult to sell at a sales price that other realtors balked at. She earned every penny of her commission. Hire her! You won’t regret it.”
“Becki was a huge help in my moving to Chicago and has now helped me find two amazing apartments. I recommend her to all my friends looking for homes in Chicago. She has great knowledge of the best neighborhoods and has also been extremely helpful in dealing with contract signing and negotiating. Couldn’t recommend her more!”
“I highly recommend Jason as a realtor! He was professional, honest, trustworthy, and truly made the process of selling my home feel smooth and stress-free. He was always responsive, knowledgeable, and had my best interests in mind throughout the entire process. I felt confident knowing I was in good hands. Thank you, Jason, for your hard work and professionalism!”
“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!”
“I cannot say enough good things about my Brooke experience. Her knowledge of the overall market and in particular my building was just amazing. Brooke made the entire process stress free I promise. She is kind, funny, engaged and tough all at the same time. She negotiated a wonderful deal for me and I could not be happier with the experience.”
“Stacie is fantastic! She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, patient and responsive and had great suggestions regarding the sale of my rental property. She was on top of things from start to finish. I very highly recommend Stacie!”
“Nicole and team could not have been better. List to close in under two months, with some challenging market conditions near us. Combine that with multiple offers, and 100% of ask and we couldn't be happier. She is thorough, meticulous, and kept us looped in to her thought process on marketing, offers, and closing. She previously helped family members with their purchase, and they were very happy as well. Thanks Nicole.”
“Selling our condo was a much smoother experience than I expected, and I truly have Larry to thank for that. From the very beginning, he was knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly professional. Night or Day, weekday or weekend Larry answered the phone and communicated actively any information about the process to us. A true professional. He guided us through every step of the process, answered all of my questions, and always made us feel confident in the decisions we were making. What impressed me most was his negotiation skills. Larry advocated for our best interests every step of the way and worked hard to secure the best possible outcome. We always felt like he had our back and never settled for less than what our home was worth. If you’re looking for an agent who is honest, strategic, communicative, and genuinely invested in their clients, we can’t recommend Larry Lazar highly enough. Selling a home can be stressful, but he made the entire process seamless. We would absolutely work with him again and recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.”
“If we could give more than five stars, we would. Our realtor went above and beyond every step of the way, making what could have been a very stressful process feel manageable and seamless. Because we were out of town, we had to rely on him completely, and he exceeded every expectation. He worked patiently with our tenant, navigated a particularly difficult condo HOA with professionalism, and managed every detail with a calm, confident, and assertive approach that gave us complete peace of mind. He also took the time to explain current market conditions using real data, helping us make informed decisions rather than simply telling us what to do. His negotiation skills were outstanding and ultimately helped us secure a fantastic all-cash offer. As if that weren't enough, he even cleaned out our small storage area to help get everything ready for closing. That level of dedication and care is incredibly rare. We truly don't have the right words to express our gratitude. His integrity, expertise, and willingness to go the extra mile made all the difference. We are beyond grateful for everything he did for us and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional realtor.”
“Cannot emphasize enough how helpful Brad was during this whole process. We had literally zero idea about what we were doing and he helped in so many ways.”
