Oakton real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Oakton real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
Inventory in Oakton is limited, with just 3 homes on the market in February 2026 and only 2 new listings. Contract activity is even thinner, as only 1 sale went under contract and pending sales are down about 89% from a year ago, highlighting slower deal flow.
Prices are adjusting to this environment in different ways. The typical home value sits around $170,000, unchanged year over year but down about 5.56% month over month, while the median list price has surged to roughly $497,450, with a projected jump to $669,950 next month.
Compared with the broader Evanston market, where the typical home value is about $432,500 and projected to ease to $416,000, Oakton’s values are much lower but following a similar softening trend. Homes in Oakton are taking time to sell at a median of 82 days on market, up more than 50% from last month yet still about 29% faster than a year ago, and recent sellers have received about 95.8% of their list price with no sales closing above asking. In this seller-tilted market, buyers and sellers can both benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands these shifting conditions and numbers.
