Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Inventory in Ford Heights has expanded in this rolling three-month view, with active listings up more than a quarter from a year ago and months of supply soaring more than fifteenfold to 19.3 months. Contract activity is mixed, as homes sold are down sharply year over year while pending sales have roughly doubled, suggesting interest that has not yet translated into closed deals.
Pricing has shifted significantly in response to this slower sales pace, with the typical home value down more than 80 percent from a year earlier in the rolling window. At the same time, median list prices are more than 20 percent higher than a year ago, leaving a noticeable gap between what sellers are asking and what buyers are paying. An average sale-to-list ratio of about 98 percent indicates that when homes do sell, final prices are generally close to their list levels.
Days on market have lengthened dramatically, with the median time to sell now approaching ten months and more than doubling from a year ago, reflecting the elevated supply and limited closings. No homes have sold above list price in the recent three-month period, reinforcing that buyers have leverage while many sellers must remain patient. In this kind of neutral but slow-moving environment, both buyers looking for value and sellers seeking serious offers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended agent who understands these trends.
Ford Heights offers residents a close-knit, friendly community with accessible parks, schools, and convenient local amenities.
Ford Heights is a small, close‑knit community in south suburban Cook County with direct access to major routes like Lincoln Highway and I‑394, putting larger employment and shopping centers within practical reach. Living here offers an affordable entry point to homeownership while staying connected to the broader Chicago Southland.
Everyday needs are met by nearby retail and services in communities such as Chicago Heights and Glenwood, where you will find groceries, dining, and medical care. Residents can enjoy outdoor space at Cook County Forest Preserves locations like Joe Orr Woods as well as regional recreation at Bloom Township High School District 206 facilities and programs. Families often look to local school options within Bloom Township and nearby educational resources, including branches of South Suburban College.
For commuting, access to Pace bus routes and nearby Metra stations in Harvey and Homewood helps link residents to Chicago and neighboring suburbs. Cultural and job opportunities in Calumet City and Dolton are also within an easy drive, expanding choices for work, shopping, and services.

“Kim Wirtz from Wirtz reality did an amazing job marketing my house in Lockport. It pretty much sold in one day! Thank you Kim for your expertise in the area. I would and will recommend you to everyone I know.”
“Allison is the BEST!!!!! This is the second time we have used Allison's help to find a home. And we are far from easy to please. Allison is patient and will do everything in her power to find you what you are looking for and not just any house. And she will bend over backwards to drive over a 30 mins away just for you to tell her it's not the one. We love her and will be using her very soon to sell our current home once we move into our new home!!!”
“Selling our first home was emotional, and we couldn’t have asked for a better realtor than Brittany. When our first offer fell through, she had us under contract with a second offer within 24 hours! Her unwavering confidence and steady reassurance helped us feel at ease during such an uncertain time, especially as first-time sellers. Brittany supported us every step of the way, always making time to listen, answer our questions, and talk through our concerns. We felt heard, cared for, and confident that she had our best interests at heart. This was our second real estate transaction with Brittany, and we would never work with anyone else. We’re so grateful for her dedication, expertise, and kindness. We cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“Do you want someone who's going to go above and beyond for you? Someone who is warm welcoming and a friendly personality? Then Christina is the one for you. My first time buying a house and she was incredible. I felt I was asking dumb questions and she always assured me that she was there for me and that it wasn't. My boys also absolutely love her. If I ever decide to buy another house for what ever reason, she's my first call. As well as who I recommend to anyone looking for a relator. Christina, if you see this. Thank you for being the incredible person you are!”
“Rebecca is incredible. When we first bought our house we had to do it from six hundred miles away, and she was able to provide essential local knowledge and walk us through every step of our first home purchase. She cares a lot about educating her clients about the real estate market and teaching them how to evaluate a house. She seems to magically know anything and everything about a property when showing it, even if we were looking at more than half a dozen houses that day (which we did more than once because our visits to the area were so infrequent when we were trying to buy.) When problems arose it was a Godsend to have her on our side to work everything out for us and make sure we got everything we were supposed to and didn't get taken advantage of at any point. She includes many extras that make both the buying and selling experience better. We loved Rebecca so much that when we had to sell that home two years later because our work took us elsewhere, there was no other agent we'd have been willing to work with. We thought we would take a horrendous loss after moving again so soon, but she helped us navigate a quick sale at an excellent price, and once again she was able to help us from a distance when things went wrong—this time from over two thousand miles away, since we had already moved. We would work only with her for the rest of our lives if we could, but since we can't have that we decided not to work with another agent unless he/she'd been vetted by Rebecca for us.”
“I highly recommend Jason as a realtor! He was professional, honest, trustworthy, and truly made the process of selling my home feel smooth and stress-free. He was always responsive, knowledgeable, and had my best interests in mind throughout the entire process. I felt confident knowing I was in good hands. Thank you, Jason, for your hard work and professionalism!”
“As a first-time homebuyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience working with Gloria! She was incredibly responsive and always quick to answer my (many!) questions, which made the whole process feel a lot less overwhelming. What really stood out was how involved she was every step of the way. From helping me understand what to look for in a home, to guiding me through offers, inspections, and closing, they made sure I felt informed and confident in every decision. She took the time to explain things clearly, never rushed me, and always had my best interests in mind. Buying a home for the first time can be stressful, but they made it feel smooth and manageable from start to finish. I’d highly recommend Gloria to any first-time buyer looking for someone patient, knowledgeable, and truly supportive throughout the entire journey.”
“Selling our condo was a much smoother experience than I expected, and I truly have Larry to thank for that. From the very beginning, he was knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly professional. Night or Day, weekday or weekend Larry answered the phone and communicated actively any information about the process to us. A true professional. He guided us through every step of the process, answered all of my questions, and always made us feel confident in the decisions we were making. What impressed me most was his negotiation skills. Larry advocated for our best interests every step of the way and worked hard to secure the best possible outcome. We always felt like he had our back and never settled for less than what our home was worth. If you’re looking for an agent who is honest, strategic, communicative, and genuinely invested in their clients, we can’t recommend Larry Lazar highly enough. Selling a home can be stressful, but he made the entire process seamless. We would absolutely work with him again and recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.”
“Simply the Best Marge goes above and beyond Wouldn’t have survived this difficult process without her! She navigated all of the paperwork for me, boosted my spirits when I was down and found a beautiful new hom for me to move to Between difficult paperwork and complicated processes, Marge always led the way with confidence and ease Her personality is so uplifting that you know it’ll be alright Thank you!”
“Dierdra was very knowledgeable about the process of selling homes, very thorough with making the process of selling our home painless and she was available upon demand to answer any concerns that occurred regarding our sale. She definitely made our sale was an asset! LS”
“Dave & Amal were top shelf. We could not have asked for better people to help us find our new home. We were trying to find a home while not living out of state. The team took videos, handled everything remotely and made the process super simple.”
“Working with Henry and the Heart of Chicago Homes team was an incredible experience from start to finish. Throughout the entire process, I always felt supported, informed, and confident knowing he and the team had our best interests in mind. We were searching in one of the most competitive markets, and the townhome we fell in love with ended up receiving multiple offers. Although our offer wasn’t accepted initially, Henry stayed persistent and maintained consistent communication with the listing agent. Thanks to his dedication and follow-up, he was able to position us next in line and ultimately help us secure our dream home when the first deal fell through. Even though we originally had the second-best offer, his hard work, relationships, and determination made all the difference. We couldn’t be more grateful and would highly recommend Henry and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”
“We’d like take the time thank Team Newman for all efforts in helping us sell our condo in Chicago. Working with Scott, Michelle, and Katie was an absolute game-changer in selling our Chicago condo. From day one, they went far beyond what we expected, bringing not just deep market knowledge, but genuine dedication and care to every step of the process. They took the time to understand our goals, gave smart data-driven recommendations, and were always willing to share their advice at each step of the process. What really stood out was their willingness to go the extra mile. They made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. Thanks to their expertise and commitment, our condo sold quickly and at a fantastic price. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell in Chicago. Truly a five-star experience from start to finish!”
“Jakeshia Thomas provided a great service. She helped us navigate a concurrent closing deal involving multiple real estate transactions, She repeated us, the buyers. She went above and beyond, making our real estate experience smooth and stress-free. Her level of professionalism and patience when working with first-time is unmatched. I can’t say enough positive things about her.”
“Eicka did an outstanding job with selling my hope. She was knowledgeable and she provided a speedy process. Her communication and negotiation skills were amazing. She is also incredibly personable-making communication easy. She also shares a great deal of appreciation to her clients. I highly recommend her support and expertise in the business of realty. Whether you are a buyer, seller, or need guidance-she will be an asset to your journey.”
“Cindi was so knowledgeble, responsive and friendly. She took a stressful time in our lives and made it pleasant. We had not bought or sold a house in quite some time and had many questions. Cindi went above and beyond answering all of our questions.”
“We worked with Mike Zapart at Compass to purchase our first home. As first-time buyers, we had lots of questions. Mike was always incredibly responsive and patient with us, whether it was a call, text or email. He was very flexible to meet our tight schedule and was always on time. He was very good at guiding us through the positives and negatives of each house so we could find a house that matched our needs. He was there for us during the whole process and made us feel more comfortable in our big decision. We found a house in Naperville that we love thanks to his hard work.”
“Sean is the bestest! I can't thank you enough for being there for me this past month. I have bought and sold with Sean a few times and it's always a win. If you are looking for someone you can trust, and knows the Chicagoland area well, the cowboy is your guy. He goes above and beyond with his marketing and media presence to make sure you property is seen by all.”
“Kelsey is phenomenal! She was knowledgeable, responsive, and truly had my best interests at heart throughout the entire buying process. She made everything smooth and stress-free, and I couldn’t be happier with my new home. 10/10 Highly recommend!”
