Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026).
Inventory in Kankakee County has been edging up, with active listings rising to 409, a modest increase from a year ago. At the same time, new listings are down compared with last year, which means more homes are staying on the market even as fewer fresh options arrive.
Contract activity shows some renewed momentum, as pending sales jumped strongly month over month and are up more than 20 percent year over year. Homes are also moving somewhat faster than in recent months, with the median days on market slipping to 53, even as months of supply has climbed to about 4.1, signaling conditions closer to balance than the statewide Illinois average.
Prices are adjusting to this shift, with the typical home value near $200,000 and slightly lower than both last month and last year. Sellers are still achieving on average about 97 percent of their list price, and roughly 29 percent of homes are closing above list, a higher share than a year ago despite softer pricing overall. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these crosscurrents in Kankakee County can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting them with a local agent who understands both sides of today’s market.

“Mike Mccatty and his son Andrew provided us with the best outcome we could have hoped for. The marketing mailers and Zillow listings were the best we saw in Orland Park at the time we were selling. Because Mike and Andrew properly priced our home we recived the offer we eventually accepted in 2 days. Selling your home is a very stressful situation and Mike and Andrew were able to reduce that stress with their quick responses to our inquiries. I would 100% recommend anyone to use Mike to sell their home.”

“Gergana was outstanding from start to finish. She was straightforward, never sugarcoating, and always on point with her suggestions. From the beginning, she came prepared with a clear plan and executed it flawlessly. I was initially worried about listing the house in January, but thanks to Gergana’s expertise and guidance, we were under contract in less than three days, and we received more than our asking price. Her advice was spot-on, and we’re so glad we followed it. We couldn’t be happier with the results and the smooth experience. If we ever need to sell a house again in the future, Gergana will be our first call. Highly recommended!”

“Given the current over-saturation of brokers and hot market climate, it's tough to find someone as committed and passionate as Cindi Maus - someone who ACTUALLY acts in their client's best interests and needs. And someone who isn't willing to settle until these needs are met. We can't say enough about how professional, accommodating, accessible and dedicated Cindi was throughout the sale of our home. For how stressful of a process this was, Cindi sure made us feel assured and at ease - from the initial sale offering to the final closing. In all honesty, Cindi's experience, attitude and commitment sets the standard. Thanks for making this experience one we'll never forget!”

I would highly recommend Donna to anyone, She is personable, kind, and so genuine. She’s amazing at what she does!! Thank you for helping us get the house of our dreams.”
