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

North Center’s rolling three-month data through May 2026 shows a pickup in activity, with 259 active listings and 208 new listings, both up year over year. Homes are moving into contract briskly, as 189 pending sales and 145 closed sales represent strong gains from a year earlier and outpace the broader Chicago market.

Pricing has pushed higher over the past year even with more homes available, with the typical home value up about 12 percent and the median list price up more than 7 percent. At the same time, inventory remains relatively lean at 2.3 months of supply versus 3.1 months across Chicago, helping support sellers’ leverage.

Competition for well-priced homes has intensified, reflected in a median 32 days on market, down sharply from last year, and nearly 63 percent of sales closing above list price. With the average sale-to-list ratio above 104 percent in this rolling three-month view, buyers face firm pricing while sellers benefit from strong demand, and Agent Pronto can help both sides connect with an experienced local agent to navigate these conditions.

“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.
