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 Kankakee County has been edging up month over month, with 426 active listings in July, even as levels sit nearly 12 percent lower than a year ago. At the same time, contract activity has cooled, as homes sold are down about 18 percent year over year and pending sales have dropped more than 23 percent.
Pricing is adjusting to this slower pace, with the typical home value around $234,000 in July, roughly 4 percent below last year and almost 8 percent lower than June. Sellers are still achieving strong outcomes, though, as the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 100 percent and more than 41 percent of homes closed above list price, up about 11 percent year over year.
Conditions feel more balanced than the statewide picture, with Kankakee County sitting at 3.3 months of supply versus about 3 months for Illinois overall. Homes are taking longer to move than last year, with the median days on market at 49, but nearly 43 percent still go off the market within two weeks, highlighting the difference between well-positioned listings and the rest. In this shifting environment, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with an agent who understands current local trends and pricing dynamics.

“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!”
“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!”

“Katherine Rubis was very patient with me during the year that I was looking for homes. She was always available to discuss our next steps or to show me new listings. Every single part of the process that Katherine handled was very smooth and easy for me. She is an outstanding agent and I will definitely call her when I am in the market to sell or buy a home again. There is nothing else she could have done to make me more satisfied with working with her. I have zero complaints.”

“Working with Ray was an absolute blessing throughout my home buying journey. He went above and beyond every step of the way, always remaining patient, professional, and supportive through all of the ups and downs that came along the process. No matter the challenge, Ray stayed committed and made sure I felt informed and encouraged the entire time. His dedication, communication, and genuine care truly made a difference, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and hardworking realtor.”
“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!”

She made the sale of our home, as well as the buying of our new home, such a wonderful experience. Even though we ran into some hiccups, which were out of our hands, Cathy handled it all for us. From her marketing, to her overall knowledge of buying and selling, Cathy was on top of everything. I'm so thankful and grateful to have had her on this journey, by our side. I know I will recommend her time and time again, to all our family and friends.”

“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!”
“Donna helped us find the home that had everything we wanted in the perfect area! She had the offer put in the same day on the house we wanted and walked us through each step and bump in the road. There were some issues with the house after the inspection that she addressed which allowed us to get a credit toward getting it fixed! 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.”
