Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Jersey County real estate market. *
July 2026
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 (Jul 2026).
Inventory in Jersey County has inched up, with active listings rising nearly 17 percent from last year to 85 homes. New listings have surged more than 50 percent year over year, giving buyers more options than they had a year ago. Contract activity is solid as well, with pending sales up about 6 percent from last July while closed sales are slightly lower.
Pricing is responding to this mix of more supply and steady demand. The typical home value is up about 5 percent year over year, while the median list price has jumped more than 23 percent, indicating sellers are testing higher price points. Despite that, the average sale-to-list ratio sits just under 98 percent, and only about one in five homes are selling above list price, suggesting buyers still retain some negotiating power.
Homes are moving faster than they did last year, with the median days on market down sharply to 28 days and months of supply at 2.5, keeping Jersey County in a seller’s market compared with Illinois overall at about 3 months of supply. That tighter inventory and quicker pace highlight the importance of pricing and timing strategies that fit local conditions. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a knowledgeable Jersey County agent who understands these trends and can guide them through the process.
Jersey County offers residents a welcoming, family-friendly community with abundant outdoor recreation, a vibrant local culture, and practical opportunities for work, education, and daily life.
Jersey County offers a quieter, more close‑knit lifestyle than nearby Madison County or St. Louis, while still providing practical access to larger job centers and services. Communities like Jerseyville and Grafton balance small‑town routines with strong ties to the Great River Road and Mississippi bluffs, making the area feel distinct from more suburban neighbors.
Outdoor life is a major draw. Residents head to Pere Marquette State Park for hiking, eagle watching, and river views, while families enjoy programs at the Jerseyville Public Library. Local schools, including Jersey Community High School, anchor community events and Friday nights, and everyday errands stay simple with local shops, dining, and services grouped along key corridors.
Whether you live near Fieldon or along the bluffs by Elsah, housing options range from historic homes close to town to acreage and newer construction. Market conditions can shift quickly with demand from regional commuters and second‑home buyers drawn to the river. If you are planning to buy, getting preapproved and understanding neighborhood price trends is essential. If you are preparing to sell, timing, pricing, and local marketing make a meaningful difference. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with a Jersey County real estate agent who understands this unique market and can help you move at the right time.

“We were so impressed with Kim! Her quick responses to questions and calls were much appreciated. Kim and her team were very efficient and professional, also. Her experience helped us to get two offers in two days for an "AS IS" home that needed lots of love. We could count on her, and she came through for us!”
“We worked with Andrew McCatty and he could not have made the process smoother! He was very responsive, prepared, and showcased the house spectacularly - we had an offer in 4 days! Andrew worked with Mike to put together the listing and it was excellent. We had an independent appraisal done before we chose the McCattys and we are so glad we got a second opinion. I cannot recommend them enough!”

I would highly recommend him to any of my friends family, and neighbors if they are buying or selling a house.”
