Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Inventory in Kankakee County has inched up, with about 435 active listings in September and an 8 percent month-over-month increase, even as levels are slightly below last year. Contract activity is steady, as pending sales are up about 5 percent from last month and 13 percent from a year ago, while closed sales have dropped roughly 20 percent year over year.
Price trends are pushing higher in response to this mix of supply and demand, with the typical home value around $254,000, up nearly 12 percent from a year earlier. Sellers are testing higher price points too, as the median list price has climbed nearly 30 percent year over year and more than 5 percent just since last month.
Conditions feel more balanced than in much of Illinois, with 3.7 months of supply in Kankakee County versus about 2.9 months statewide and a median 58 days on market locally. Even so, about one-third of homes sell above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 99 percent, underscoring that well-priced homes still attract strong offers. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a local real estate professional who understands these shifting dynamics and can help them navigate the Kankakee County market effectively.

“For a first time homebuyer it feel important to have someone in your corner who knows the area and the business. Victoria and team are those people you want. She was patient, understanding, and transparent during the process. If I ever sell or buy a new home, I'll be contacting her again.”

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.”

“I highly recommend working with Cesar. One of the things I liked best about working with him was that he really seemed to have my best interests at heart. This man will be pulling out his phone light checking basement corners for any signs of mold or water and checking above every stove to see if there’s a proper vent or not. He noticed many things on walk throughs that my parents and I may have just breezed right past and he makes sure to point out the things he notices, good or bad. They say never trust a sales person but idk, I think Cesar’s just in it for the love of the game at this point. I dragged this man to a LOT of houses and he never once rushed me. He was very insistent that we need to find the right fit for me and that I not go past the amount of money I was comfortable with. This was my first time buying a home so I had about 80,000 questions and he was always happy to talk through any questions or concerns. He’s a fun guy to work with as well. In these trying times you need a sense of humor or the home buying process will be miserable. All in all I would definitely recommend working with him.”

“With Diana’s marketing expertise and beautiful professional photos of our house, our house got $100k overasking within the first 24hrs of our listing going live. She did an amazing job protecting our interest and shielding us from random inquiries. We had more than 14 showings in 48 hrs, multiple offers, and several bids.”

“Katie is very knowledgeable, thorough and kind. She worked very diligently with me to find an apartment/condo to rent! She was able to give me recommendations that I would not have found or considered on my own. I could not have asked for a better agent to work with! I have lived in a house for 30 years and really had no idea what to look for when choosing and apartment or condo. She helped me find the perfect new home, a lovely condo for rent!! Katie stayed on top of everything from setting up appointments to following through with my new landlady. She is intelligent, hardworking sweet and thoughtful. I highly recommend her to anyone renting or buying!!”

“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!!!”

Real People Realty
“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!”

“Honestly Ariel is an amazing realtor. She was responsive, knowledgeable, and willing to answer all my random questions as a first time homeowner. She clearly explained the process, was patient when looking at a variety of homes over a year, and was a huge help. 10/10 Recommend!”
Legacy Properties, A Sarah Leonard Company
“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.”

“Frank was professional and timely. He kept us in the loop of any offers and issues. We have worked with him for 3 house sales and 2 house purchases. I would highly recommend him to anyone.”
Keller Williams Preferred Realty
“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!”
Village Realty
“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!”
Infiniti Properties
