“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.”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).
Northwest Elgin’s rolling three-month snapshot through July 2026 shows prices edging higher, with the typical home value and median list price both up modestly from the prior period. Inventory has grown month over month as active listings increased and months of supply jumped to 3.1, signaling more options for shoppers than earlier in the year.
Price trends look even stronger in a year-over-year view. The typical home value is up about 8 percent from a year ago, and median list prices have climbed at a similar pace. Homes are taking much longer to sell than last year, with median days on market rising sharply to 47 days.
Even with slower sales, competition has not disappeared. Just over half of recent sales closed above the list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio is still slightly above 101 percent, suggesting many sellers are achieving or exceeding asking prices. Compared with the broader Elgin market, Northwest Elgin has higher typical values and more supply, while Elgin overall shows less inventory and slightly lower prices. Buyers facing these mixed signals and sellers trying to time the market can both benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an experienced local agent who understands current conditions in Northwest Elgin.
