“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.”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).
Inventory in East St. Louis has expanded in this rolling three-month view, with active listings up nearly half from a year ago while months of supply has surged to about 9 to 10 months. Even with more options on the market, homes sold held roughly steady year over year, and pending sales climbed sharply, rising by more than half. New listings, however, have fallen compared with last year, suggesting that a smaller pool of sellers is generating a relatively strong level of buyer interest.
Pricing is adjusting to these conditions in a nuanced way. The typical home value is slightly below where it was a year ago, yet the median list price is up strongly year over year, signaling that sellers are testing higher asking prices even as buyers remain price-conscious.
Homes are taking much longer to sell than they did a year ago, with median days on market jumping from around a month to more than two months, and months of supply also rising markedly over that period. At the same time, the share of properties selling above list price has increased compared with last year, and the average sale-to-list ratio is now just above 100 percent, showing that well-positioned homes can still attract strong offers. Whether you are trying to stand out as a seller or navigate these mixed signals as a buyer, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands how to work this evolving market from both sides.

“Mike was great to work with from our initial meeting analyzing the value of the property and how to Market it all the way to communicating throughout the process he always called me back if you did not answer his phone and had absolutely amazing marketing ideas. I would absolutely work with Mike again on another project! In fact I'm going to in the near future.”
“Katherine Rubis was very patient with me during the year that I was looking for homes. She was always available to discuss our next steps or to show me new listings. Every single part of the process that Katherine handled was very smooth and easy for me. She is an outstanding agent and I will definitely call her when I am in the market to sell or buy a home again. There is nothing else she could have done to make me more satisfied with working with her. I have zero complaints.”

“Paula had a very calming, professional presence to her. Paula was on-time, knowledgeable, brought up important points, suggestions and realistic timelines. Home looking is exciting and stressful and a good Agent in my opinion, reels you in a little towards reality. Pumping the brakes.

“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.

“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.
