Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026 - Aug 2026).
Inventory in Decatur has expanded in this rolling three-month view, with active listings up about 7 percent year over year to 517 and months of supply climbing more than a third to 2.2. Contract activity is also healthy, as homes sold have inched higher than a year ago and pending sales are up nearly 4 percent, signaling steady buyer demand.
Pricing has been relatively stable even as inventory grows, with the typical home value down less than 1 percent from last year while the median list price has risen just over 3 percent. Sellers are still often achieving strong outcomes, though the share of homes selling above list has slipped to about 22 percent compared with higher levels a year ago, and the average sale-to-list ratio has edged down slightly.
Speed of sale shows that well-priced homes are still moving quickly, as the median days on market has shortened to about three weeks and is modestly lower than a year earlier. Even with more options for buyers and subtle shifts in pricing power, Decatur is still classified as a seller’s market, so conditions can feel nuanced on both sides of the transaction. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these evolving trends can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with an experienced local real estate agent.
Learn more about what Decatur has to offer.
Decatur offers residents a welcoming blend of small-town character, thriving local businesses, abundant parks and outdoor recreation, strong schools, and a lively calendar of community events that bring neighbors together.
Decatur blends small city convenience with Midwest practicality, offering easy commutes, a reasonable cost of living, and quick access around town. Located roughly halfway between Springfield and Champaign, it appeals to residents who value accessibility without big city congestion.
Daily life centers on useful amenities. Lake Decatur provides boating, fishing, and lakeside trails, with public access points highlighted by Decatur Park District. Families use an extensive park system that includes Fairview Park and the Scovill complex, home to Scovill Zoo and gardens. Cultural and educational options range from the Hieronymus Mueller Museum to performances at the Kirkland Fine Arts Center on the Millikin University campus.
Local dining and coffee spots add convenience and character. Residents enjoy downtown restaurants, neighborhood pubs, and cafes such as The River Coffee Company. Practical needs are supported by retailers along Pershing Road and the north side, while historic streets offer older homes with character and newer subdivisions provide more contemporary layouts.

“Kim was amazing. I reached out early to ask a bunch of questions and get some tips on what to do before listing. She kept in touch with me for weeks before I was finally ready to list. Once it went on the market she had it sold in 24 hours! From start to finish Kim was responsive and patient with all of my questions and concerns. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell!”

“Great experience! Vicky, was professional, dedicated, readily available, and patient.”
Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Chicago
“Selling our first home was emotional, and we couldn’t have asked for a better realtor than Brittany. When our first offer fell through, she had us under contract with a second offer within 24 hours! Her unwavering confidence and steady reassurance helped us feel at ease during such an uncertain time, especially as first-time sellers. Brittany supported us every step of the way, always making time to listen, answer our questions, and talk through our concerns. We felt heard, cared for, and confident that she had our best interests at heart. This was our second real estate transaction with Brittany, and we would never work with anyone else. We’re so grateful for her dedication, expertise, and kindness. We cannot recommend her highly enough!”

“Working with Anthony was an absolute game-changer for us as first-time home buyers. He knows the local market inside and out, he answered all of our (many) questions at any time of the day, and not only was he very professional and reliable, but we knew throughout the process that he genuinely cared about us and our satisfaction. Now we have our dream home! I'm so glad we had Anthony working with us throughout this process, and we highly recommend him!”

“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.”
RE/MAX Suburban
“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.”

“We were referred to Tracy in our move from downtown to the suburbs, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 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!”

“Michelle was exceptional throughout the entire home-buying process! She was always on top of the paperwork, deadlines, and everything we needed to get our purchase completed. Her responsiveness, organization, and attention to detail made the process so much smoother. We truly appreciated all her hard work and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home!”
Village Realty
“Catherine Terpstra made herself available to us in our search for a house as we were moving from out of state back to IL. As soon as we contacted her, it felt like she dropped everything "just for us". (We know she was attending to other clinets, as well!) She was very efficient in setting up houses for us to tour, within and without our pricing perameters. She "heard us" in regard to the "non-negotiables" we had for a house for which we were looking. She printed out pertinent infomration on each place for us. We were in a time-crunch, as we had come from out of state to search for a place to live. She was able to help us find a very nice new home. We are very thankful to her for her understanding and expertise in real estate and in the current housing market.”
