Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Southwest Elgin real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Homes in Southwest Elgin are taking longer to sell, with the median days on market up to 61 days in February 2026, a jump of over 31 percent from the prior month and more than 17 percent year over year. This slower pace suggests buyers have more time to make decisions, even as conditions still lean toward sellers.
Prices are holding fairly steady. The typical home value sits around $280,000, unchanged from last year, while the median list price is slightly lower at about $275,000. Sellers are still getting close to what they ask, with an average sale-to-list ratio just under 0.994 and roughly 36 percent of homes selling above list price.
Supply has shifted recently, with inventory at 44 homes in February after climbing more than 33 percent month over month and over 7 percent compared with last year, even though new listings are down more than 21 percent year over year. Pending sales have eased, falling nearly 18 percent from a year ago, yet the area is still rated a Seller's Market with a market gauge of 10. Compared with Elgin overall, Southwest Elgin offers a lower typical home value than the city’s $315,000 level, with both areas seeing relatively flat prices. With these mixed signals for pricing, pace, and inventory, both buyers and sellers in Southwest Elgin can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding the right local real estate agent.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
