“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!”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Inventory and contract activity in Evanston have picked up in the latest rolling three-month view through May 2026. Active listings are up more than 11% from a year ago, and homes sold have climbed about 40% year over year. New listings and pending sales are also higher than last year, pointing to steady movement from listing to contract.
Pricing has softened compared with a year ago even as activity has increased. The typical home value over the rolling three-month period is down about 11% from last year, and the median list price has declined by a similar margin year over year. At the same time, roughly 46% of recent sales closed above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio is just over 102%, showing that well-priced homes can still draw strong offers.
Speed and supply metrics highlight a market that still leans toward sellers but with more breathing room than in past peaks. Homes now spend a median of 38 days on market in this rolling three-month window, faster than a year ago, and months of supply sits near 2.1, consistent with a seller’s market. With more inventory, shifting prices, and solid demand, local conditions can feel different block by block. Buyers and sellers in Evanston can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with an agent who understands these trends and can guide their next move.
