Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Iroquois County real estate market. *

Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Inventory in Iroquois County has been building, with about 150 active listings in September and an 8 to 9 percent increase from last year. Months of supply has climbed to 6.2, up sharply year over year and well above the 2.9 months seen across Illinois, pointing to a more balanced to buyer-leaning environment locally. Contract activity shows 32 homes going under contract in September, a solid month-over-month rise even as closed sales slipped to 21, down significantly from a year ago.
Pricing has been reacting to these shifting dynamics in a nuanced way. The typical home value is up strongly from last year by nearly 55 percent, yet the median list price has edged down slightly year over year, suggesting sellers are tempering asking prices even as closed values trend higher. On average, homes are selling for about 95 percent of list price, and only about 15 percent are closing above asking, which is a smaller share than a year earlier and signals more room for negotiation.
Homes are generally taking longer to sell, with the median days on market stretching to 92 days, rising more than 25 percent compared with last year. That slower pace, combined with higher inventory, gives buyers more options and time, while sellers need careful pricing strategies to stand out. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a knowledgeable local agent who understands these trends and can guide each side through this evolving market.
Iroquois County offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with rich agricultural heritage, abundant outdoor recreation, thriving local businesses, strong schools, and a balanced, affordable quality of life.
Iroquois County feels distinctly rural and close knit compared with the faster pace of nearby Kankakee County or the far south suburbs of Chicago. Centered around Watseka, it offers wide open skies, strong agricultural roots, and small towns where people tend to know their neighbors and local businesses recognize regulars.
Each community has its own character. Watseka serves as the county hub, with local events at locations like Watseka Park District and a traditional downtown. In Gilman, easy access to I 57 makes commuting north or south more practical, while Onarga and Milford appeal to those seeking quieter streets near fields and timber. Outdoor time is a way of life, from birdwatching and paddling along the Iroquois River to youth sports and community festivals.
Families appreciate local schools such as Iroquois West CUSD 10 and Watseka Community Unit School District 9, along with resources like the Watseka Public Library. Everyday needs are met by local shops, diners, and regional chains, while bigger city amenities remain within a reasonable drive.
Whether you are planning to list a long held family home or hoping to secure an acreage or first house before the next planting season or school year, preparation and timing matter. Agent Pronto can connect you with a knowledgeable Iroquois County real estate agent who understands local trends and can guide both buyers and sellers from first conversation to closing.

“We weren’t sure how to compare the offers on our house beyond the price. Ryan walked us through the financing, contingencies, and closing dates so we understood the differences. He was patient with our questions and kept us updated as we moved toward closing. We appreciated being able to reach him when something came up.”
“Ed and his team were true professionals. He made home buying very easy. His knowledge of the area and house construction took some fear out of the homebuying process. We will use and recommend Ed and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a house. Thank you for making our homebuying less stressful Ed and Jenn.”
“It was a pleasure working with Emily. She went above and beyond and very knowledgeable with any questions i may have had. She was always available late nights and weekends. I would highly recommend Emily.”
“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!!!”
“Michelle was exceptional throughout the entire home-buying process! She was always on top of the paperwork, deadlines, and everything we needed to get our purchase completed. Her responsiveness, organization, and attention to detail made the process so much smoother. We truly appreciated all her hard work and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home!”
“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.”
“Carrie was phenomenal in the home buying process from initial browsing of the market to being ready to put in offers she supported us the entire way!”
“We have used Corey for all our buying and selling needs over the past 5-6 years. He is great to work with! He is very responsive, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. His knowledge and dedication are why we always choose to have Corey help us when it comes to buying or selling, and we always feel supported every step of the way. Highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home!”
“Chris Piercy is an A+ Number One Realtor. He handled the sale of my old house and found me a new home in the area I wanted. He was superb on both the buy side and sell side. His first rate knowledge, resourcefulness and uninterrupted energy make his negotiations run smoothly and on schedule. Chris is effective, efficient and friendly. He even gave me a tour of my new home town.”
“Kevin has helped us buy a second home and one of our close relatives buy their primary home and he sold my mother in laws place. He and his team made the whole process trouble free and they were very responsive---even during late night discussions.”
“Zoe is a fantastic realtor! We were buying our first house, which we thought would be a super stressful process. Fortunately, we had Zoe as our realtor. She made the entire process stress free. She has extensive knowledge about the market and all the things that comes with buying a home. When we would ask her questions, she was extremely responsive and got back to us quickly. She also would reach out to the seller‘s realtor and ask many questions on our behalf. With her expertise, knowledge, and guidance she was able to get us our dream house without us being the highest offer!!! If you are looking to buy or sell and want someone who is professional, who has a lot of knowledge, and will fight for you, Zoe is the realtor you are looking for!”
“By far, one of the best there is in the business. As a realtor, Peter takes a person approach when dealing with his clients.

He was prompt, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Highly Recommend! -Andy Nikov”
