Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).

Inventory in Douglas County held fairly steady in September, with 56 active listings and 24 new listings added. New listings jumped sharply from the prior month, while homes sold dipped to 17 and pending sales edged up to 14. With months of supply rising to 2.5, conditions still lean toward sellers but with a bit more breathing room for buyers than in midsummer.

Pricing is adjusting to this balance. The typical home value around $154,000 is down both month over month and more than 20 percent compared with a year ago, while the median list price has also eased slightly year over year. Homes are taking about 52 days to go under contract, a bit longer than last month but slightly faster than a year earlier, signaling that well-priced properties still find buyers. Only about 18 percent of recent sales closed above list, and the average sale-to-list ratio of roughly 98 percent shows that final prices are coming in just under asking on many deals.

Compared with Illinois as a whole, Douglas County offers significantly lower prices than the statewide median sale price of about $323,000, even as both markets show relatively low inventory. Local supply at 2.5 months is slightly tighter than the state’s 2.9 months, reinforcing its seller’s market label but with more modest bidding pressure than some areas. Whether you are a buyer navigating shifting prices or a seller trying to time the market, Agent Pronto can connect you with a Douglas County agent who understands these trends and can guide your next move.



Learn more about what Douglas County has to offer.

Douglas County offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with quality schools, strong local services, abundant outdoor recreation, and a reliable sense of safety and opportunity.

Douglas County offers a quieter, more close‑knit feel than larger nearby communities like Champaign or Decatur, yet it sits within easy driving distance of both. Life here centers on small towns such as Tuscola, Arcola, and Villa Grove, where local festivals, Friday night games, and long‑standing businesses create a strong sense of place.

Tuscola’s historic downtown and nearby outlet shopping provide daily convenience along with locally owned spots like Flesor’s Candy Kitchen. In Arcola, home of the annual Broomcorn Festival, residents celebrate the area’s heritage while enjoying access to practical services, schools, and parks. Families appreciate the well regarded Tuscola Community Unit School District 301 and Villa Grove CUSD 302, along with community resources like the Tuscola Public Library and Arcola Public Library District.

Outdoor-minded buyers will notice how quickly town streets give way to open fields and sky, with local parks and nearby trails offering everyday escapes. Commuters can connect to I‑57 and I‑72 for regional jobs while still coming home to a slower pace.

Whether you are moving from Urbana, relocating from out of state, or preparing to sell a long‑time family property in Douglas County, timing and preparation matter. Local market conditions change quickly, and the right pricing, staging, and search strategy can make a real difference. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a Douglas County agent who understands these communities and knows how to get you ready for your next move.

“We had such a great experience working with Victoria and Sam! They were always quick to respond whenever we sent a home we were interested in or had questions. They were willing to go on as many tours as it took to help us find the right fit and were honest about steering us away from homes with structural concerns. It was clear they genuinely had our best interests at heart and wanted us to find a home we’d love. They’re also both funny and easy to get along with, which made the entire process that much more enjoyable. We couldn’t recommend them enough!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”
