Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Inventory in Decatur has expanded modestly in this rolling three-month view, with active listings up slightly year over year and sitting at 481. Even with that increase, months of supply is just 1.9, keeping conditions tilted toward sellers as 323 homes have gone under contract and 254 have closed.
Pricing is reacting with gentle upward pressure, as the typical home value is up a few percent from a year ago and the median list price has climbed a bit faster. At the same time, the share of homes selling above list has edged down compared with last year, and the average sale-to-list price ratio has slipped just under 97 percent, suggesting buyers have a bit more room to negotiate.
Pace has slowed notably compared with a year ago, with the median days on market stretching to about a month even though more than half of homes still go off the market within two weeks. New listings have fallen year over year while sales volume has dipped, indicating that both buyers and sellers are moving a bit more selectively in this environment. To navigate these shifting dynamics, both buyers and sellers in Decatur can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an experienced local agent who understands today’s numbers and trends.

“Selling a home can be emotionally and physically exhausting. Kim Wirtz took control of the process and led me through it. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and patient. I would recommend Kim to sell your home.”

“Originally we were referred by our first lender and we could not have been more fortunate to work with Vicky and Sam. They were professional and realistic regarding our home search. We had not purchased a home in a very long time and Vicky was patient and understanding and was so attentive. avidly referred us to our second lender (the first was not communicative) and it was wonderful. Overall the whole experience was great! Thank you for helping us find our dream home!”

“Working with Tracy to buy our home was a great experience and she was always available and communicative even as we navigated some difficult parts of the negotiation with the seller. She was personally at every visit and even at the inspection and closing, going way above and beyond my expectations and previous experiences with buying agents. Thanks to her we found a home for our family and while we don't plan to buy in the near future I'd be happy to work with her again and again. Thanks Tracy!”

“Barb was 1/20 realtors who was willing to work with me in the beginning over 9 years ago. This is when I first purchased my home. I was cheap buyer. It went without saying I was going to be using her for the sale of the home 9 years later. She handled the hurdles flawlessly and talked me through and coached me the entire way. To say I appreciate her is an understatement. I sold my home after we relocated it of state and she coordinated every logistic of that sale on my behalf to he best of her ability. I recommend her without fail and would point every person in her direction that has a need for a solid realtor.”

“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.”

“We relocated from an area where we had lived our entire lives, and the prospect of moving to another state can often be quite challenging. However, our experience with Kimberly was exceptionally smooth and seamless. Her expertise, combined with the thoughtful and tailored feedback she provided based on our specific criteria, proved invaluable throughout the entire process.
