Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Feb 2026 - Apr 2026).
Inventory on the Near South Side is tighter than a year ago, with active listings down slightly year over year even as homes sold have risen more than 23 percent in this rolling three-month view. Pending sales are up almost 27 percent over last year, and months of supply has dropped to 2.9, well below Chicago’s 3.6 months, underscoring stronger seller leverage locally.
Pricing has been edging upward rather than surging, with the typical home value up a little over 4 percent year over year. At the same time, the share of properties selling above list has climbed to just over half of all sales, and the average sale-to-list ratio has inched above 101 percent, signaling buyers are often bidding at or over asking.
Selling conditions have sped up considerably, as median days on market in this rolling three-month period has fallen sharply from a year ago, down from triple digits to under two months. Nearly 47 percent of homes go off the market in two weeks, showing that well-priced listings can move quickly even with more modest price gains. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate this brisk yet measured environment can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local Near South Side agent who understands both sides of the market.

“Brittany is an AMAZING realtor and I don't say that lightly. She goes above and beyond to make sure that we are getting everything that we asked for and more. If you are looking for a realtor that goes out of her way to make sure her clients needs are met, you have found your realtor! I could not put into words how happy I am!”
“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.”
“Becki from Laura Topp’s team was incredible in helping me purchase my first property, a brick 2-flat in Chicago’s highly competitive north and west side market. Inventory was extremely limited and we toured at least 20 properties throughout the process. Becki was consistently accommodating with her time, prepared detailed reports for every showing and approached each opportunity with a thoughtful strategy. She genuinely treated the search as if she were buying the property for herself. When we finally found the right building, Becki skillfully negotiated with the listing agent and played a major role in getting the deal done while still protecting my interests and keeping the transaction together. The listing agent even praised her professionalism and credited her with helping secure the deal. Throughout closing, she remained diligent, communicative and focused on making sure I understood every step of the process and felt protected as a buyer. I cannot recommend Becki and Laura Topp”
“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!”
“Would use Lizette again, very easy to work with & very professional. Would recommend here 100% to Friends.”
“Juan helped us immensely in buying our first home and answered every question we had. Would 100% recommend.”
“The referral of Mike Frank was the best decision we made! Mike Frank is detailed, thorough, responsive and a joy to work with. He went above and beyond to deliver us the kind of customer service we could only have hoped and imagined. Results and not excuses! Thank you for this referral!”
“Remm was always available if I had questions. She kept me updated every step.”
“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.”
