Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Clinton County real estate market. *
September 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Inventory in Clinton County has been expanding modestly, with active listings up about 22 percent year over year even as months of supply has dropped sharply to 1.6, reinforcing its seller’s market designation. Contract activity is mixed, as homes sold have surged more than 70 percent from a year ago while new listings are down over 30 percent, suggesting buyers are quickly absorbing what comes on the market.
Pricing has softened compared with last year, with the typical home value down about 7 percent and the median list price lower by roughly 4 percent year over year. At the same time, homes are still transacting very close to asking, with an average sale-to-list ratio just under 100 percent and only a slight year-over-year increase, pointing to steady negotiation dynamics despite lower headline prices.
Timing trends show a median of 44 days on market, a bit faster than a year ago, and nearly 29 percent of homes are going off market within two weeks, indicating that well-positioned properties move quickly. Compared with the broader Illinois market, Clinton County offers lower typical sale prices than the state as a whole while operating with tighter supply than Illinois’s 2.9 months of inventory. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting conditions can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands the Clinton County market.

“Shelton did an outstanding job helping me find my home. He was patient, professional, and dedicated throughout the entire process. He took the time to show me multiple properties and made sure I found the right house for me. His communication and knowledge made the experience very stress free. I highly recommend Shelton to anyone looking to buy a home!”
“Jane Kolmer did the most amazing job pricing, getting 2 of our houses and our 10 acre property under contract and sold fast, all in 3 months time. Jane is superior on pricing and told us precisely what to do to get the most value for our homes. As well as what not to do to save money. She is very knowledgeable and educated in land and property. We benefited from it greatly. Jane’s valuable advice saved us a fair amount money when preparing each home for the market. Her expertise was showed when we sold all 3 houses and property over appraised value. Jane’s wisdom is unmatched! We appreciate Jane and the Tammy Mitchell Hines Team as we looked for over 4 years for our forever home. I would recommend Jane and the Tammy Mitchell Hines Team every time. They are professional and will get results.”

“Eli did a great job explaining how things worked and what steps we needed to do next. Would definitely recommend. Made the buying process very easy! He knows his stuff and if he doesn’t he will definitely figure it out. Would 10/10 recommend using him and equity 55 group to sell or buy any property you might be interested in.”
“Wendy did an AMAZING job helping us find our forever home! She was so patient as we sought out a number of houses. She was honest when sharing her tips and advice as we searched for homes and throughout our tours as well. I appreciated her constant communication with us! She was respectful of our "check list", and was yet, willing to help us "dream up" our house at every tour or house considered. She is the BEST!”
“Lindsey was a wonderful realtor. She helped us purchase a house in 2025 and anytime we had any questions she walked us through every step and made it an easy process. We also had to wait two months during the shutdown and she stuck through it with us! You may not find that anywhere else. If you get the chance to work with her, do it!”
