Information and statistics on the latest trends in the River North real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
River North is seeing a lean but active resale environment, with 215 homes on the market and 186 new listings in February 2026. Even with inventory down about 36% from last year and new listings almost 49% lower, buyers put 189 homes under contract, pointing to steady demand despite tighter options.
With homes taking a median of 96 days to go under contract, both month-over-month and year-over-year days on market have lengthened, signaling that properties are spending more time waiting for the right offer. Roughly 28% of recent sales closed above list price and the sale-to-list ratio is just under 0.98, so sellers still hold some leverage, reflected in River North’s “Seller’s Market” gauge of 11.
Prices are adjusting to these conditions, as the typical home value of about $410,000 is down 4.42% from last year and 6.61% month over month, while the median list price has jumped more than 12% recently. Looking ahead to March 2026, typical values are projected to ease to around $395,500 even as the projected median list price rises to about $475,250 and inventory edges up to 223 homes, showing a split between asking prices and underlying values. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers in River North with an agent who understands these shifting trends and can guide them through pricing and negotiation decisions.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
