Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026 - Aug 2026).
Home values on Chicago’s West Side have climbed notably in this rolling three-month view, with the typical home value up about 10 percent from a year ago to just over $511,000. List prices are also higher than a year ago, though both sale and list prices have eased slightly compared with the prior three-month period, suggesting some recent cooling at the higher end.
Listing and contract activity shows a market that is still moving, but at a more measured pace than earlier in the year. Homes sold and pending sales are both modestly higher than a year ago, even as new listings have grown at a faster clip. Inventory is roughly flat year over year, while months of supply has tightened to under three months, reinforcing the current seller’s market conditions.
Momentum has clearly shifted in favor of sellers compared with a year ago, with the share of homes selling above list price rising to roughly half of all sales and the average sale-to-list ratio hovering just above 101 percent. Even so, buyers are getting a bit more breathing room, as typical days on market have inched up and supply is slightly higher than in some past periods. Compared with the broader Chicago market, West Side prices sit higher and inventory is a touch leaner, underlining its stronger position for sellers. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these conditions can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands the area’s trends.

“Selling a house can be stressful for the owners hoping to sell their house. Especially when things don't go as planned. Unfortunately, the sale of my house hit many unplanned speedbumps. Thankfully, I hired Kim Wirtz to be my realtor. Kim not only did a great job of finding solutions to unforseen adversity, but she did so with a calm and positive attitude. Kim's proffesionalism, honesty, and problem solving skills were integral in the selling of my house. I highly recommend Kim Wirtz as a realtor who can be trusted to get the job done even if it means overcoming adversity. Thank you Kim!”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Steve Goodman and the experience we’ve had working with him over the past 10 years. Steve was my realtor when I purchased my very first condo, and 10 years later, he was right there with us as we sold that condo and purchased what we hope will be our forever home. Having the opportunity to work with the same realtor through such an important chapter of our lives speaks volumes about the trust and confidence we have in him. What sets Steve apart is that he genuinely puts his clients’ best interests first. He is never pushy or focused on simply making a sale. Instead, he takes the time to listen, answer every question, offer honest advice, and make sure you feel comfortable with every decision. He is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile.”

“Was impressed from the beginning when the owner answered the phone and made an appointment within a day or two to come out to the property. When we decided to put the house on the market, they were extremely professional And answered all our questions. The photographer came out promptly, and took amazing pictures of the property. It was listed the next day,and our house sold in less than a week. Andrew McCatty was our broker. He could not have been more knowledgeable or professional. Any questions that we had, Andrew either answered the phone or got back to us very quickly. Highly recommend Andrew and Century 21 Circle. Would only work with them again and would recommend them to family and friends.”

She made what can be a stressful process feel easy and manageable from start to finish. Tracy was both professional and personal, detail-oriented, responsive, and always quick to act when it mattered. Her deep knowledge of the local market and strong connections were invaluable throughout our purchase. We would wholeheartedly recommend Tracy to anyone looking to buy a home!”

“I previously used Jeffry Phillips to sell a house I inherited. It was a very emotional time and he was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and gave suggestions of things that could be done to the house prior to selling it. Because that experience was so positive and he was so professional I utilized his services when it was time for me to sell my house. When it came time to sell my home, he was professional and extremely knowledgeable about the Garfield Ridge neighborhood. I would highly recommend him to any of my friends family, and neighbors if they are buying or selling a house.”
