Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Inventory in Portage Park has expanded in this rolling three-month view, with about 224 active listings but still slightly fewer homes on the market than a year ago. Even with supply holding around 3.1 months, homes are taking longer to sell than last year, now spending a typical 44 days on the market.
Contract activity shows a mixed picture, as roughly 103 homes sold and 137 went under contract, both down compared with a year earlier. Despite that softer sales volume, the share of properties going off the market within two weeks is high, and more than half of recent sales closed above the asking price.
Prices have been moving upward, with the typical home value near $509,000 and the median list price climbing much faster year over year. Sellers are often getting slightly more than they ask, reflected in an average sale-to-list ratio a bit above 102 percent, which is stronger than the broader Chicago market’s pricing power. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting conditions can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands Portage Park’s trends.

“Kim has sold two properties for me this year, and in both transactions she did a fantastic job. She was always responsive, communicated clearly throughout the process, and took the time to answer every question I had. Her professionalism, market knowledge, and attention to detail made each sale go smoothly. I would highly recommend Kim and her team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area. Based on my experiences, I personally would not hire any other agent to sell a house.”

“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.”

“I had an amazing experience working with Erick when purchasing my new home. From the very beginning, he took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and offered valuable insights into the housing market. Erick was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and responsive, answering all my questions and guiding me through every step of the process. The process of finding the perfect home can be overwhelming, but Erick made it seamless. He was always available to schedule viewings at my convenience, and when we found the right place, he worked tirelessly to ensure my offer was competitive and that all the paperwork was handled efficiently. Thanks to Erick, I now own a home that I absolutely love. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and professional real estate agent.”

“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.”

“Jo Ceglarek was recommended to us by a friend who lives in Jefferson Park. Our hope was to stay in the area but select a real estate agent with extensive knowledge of the area and public schools as we have a 2.5 year old. Her guidance and expertise were invaluable and made the process so smooth. Jo was quick and responsive to our needs and worked around our crazy work schedules. She made this whole process much more enjoyable. Thank you! Jo was wonderful to work with and patient when we had to bring our little one to a couple showings!”
