Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Feb 2026 - Apr 2026).
In North Center, a rolling three-month view shows inventory expanding while buyers stay active. Active listings are up slightly from a year ago, and new listings have climbed more than 18 percent year over year, contributing to about 2.9 months of supply, which is lean but higher than last year.
Contract activity has kept pace with this added supply. Pending sales are running more than 11 percent higher than a year ago even as closed sales have slipped nearly 8 percent, suggesting more deals are still working their way through the pipeline.
Pricing has responded to this push and pull between supply and demand. Typical home values are up more than 16 percent year over year and nearly 59 percent of recent sales closed above list price, with the average sale coming in a little over 4 percent above asking. Compared with the broader Chicago market, North Center’s prices sit much higher and its months of supply is tighter, underscoring its status as a seller’s market. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these fast-moving conditions in North Center can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with an experienced local agent who understands both sides of the table.

“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.”
““Working with Meldina Dervisevic to sell our single-family home in Wheeling was an excellent experience from start to finish. Her market knowledge, pricing strategy, and attention to detail helped us attract the right buyer quickly and confidently. Meldina guided us through every step of the process, communicated clearly, and handled negotiations with professionalism and care. Thanks to her expertise, our home sold smoothly and with great results. We highly recommend Meldina to anyone looking to sell their home.””

“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.”
