Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Inventory and contract activity in Knollwood have pulled back in this rolling three-month view. Active listings are down more than a third compared with a year ago, while homes sold have dropped by about half. Pending sales have also fallen more than 40 percent year over year, pointing to a slower flow of deals.
Pricing, however, is still showing strength despite the softer sales pace. The typical home value is up more than 20 percent from a year ago, even as the median list price is slightly lower than last year, suggesting sellers may be pricing more cautiously while closed-sale values stay elevated.
Conditions on the ground reflect longer marketing times and more options than earlier this year. Median days on market have edged up year over year to about 40 days, and months of supply have more than doubled over the past year to around five months, moving the area toward a more balanced feel even though it is still labeled a seller’s market. At the same time, roughly two-thirds of recent sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio sits above 108 percent, showing that well-positioned homes can still attract strong offers. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these mixed signals can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands Knollwood’s shifting trends.
Knollwood offers residents a welcoming, safe, family-friendly community with well-maintained parks, convenient local amenities, strong schools, and easy access to nearby services and commuting options.
Knollwood stands out from nearby Lake Bluff and Lake Forest with its laid‑back character and modest lot sizes that still keep you close to the lakefront and major employers. This small community offers quiet streets, mature trees, and a strong neighborhood feel, while remaining minutes from cultural and shopping options in Waukegan and Highland Park.
Residents value practical amenities and easy access. Kids often attend schools in the Lake Bluff School District 65 and Lake Forest Community High School District 115, which are a major draw for buyers comparing nearby communities. Outdoor time is simple to enjoy, with golf at Knollwood Club and walking and biking on the Robert McClory Bike Path. Weekend errands and dining are close at hand in Libertyville, and the Lake Bluff Metra station offers direct service to downtown Chicago for commuters.
Because Knollwood is compact, available homes can be limited and move quickly, especially properties with recent updates or larger yards. Sellers benefit from thoughtful pricing and targeted local marketing, while buyers gain an edge by preparing financing and understanding micro‑market trends street by street. Agent Pronto can connect you with a real estate professional who knows Knollwood’s nuances and timing, helping both buyers and sellers move confidently when the right opportunity appears.
See why so many people rely on Agent Pronto to make their real estate journey a success.
“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.”
“I worked with Eric for the better course of a year to land my first property, and Eric demonstrated extreme patience, flexibility, excellent communication, and great professionalism throughout the whole process. Eric is extremely knowledgeable in his expertise and makes the buyer feel comfortable and confident in their decisions. Eric is extremely approachable and supportive, and I would recommend anyone in the buying market to reach out to Eric with any questions, tours, or any housing-related items.”

She knows the ins and outs of current real estate markets and how to strategically price a property so that it will sell in a timely manner but with the highest yield!!

Combine that with multiple offers, and 100% of ask and we couldn't be happier. She is thorough, meticulous, and kept us looped in to her thought process on marketing, offers, and closing. She previously helped family members with their purchase, and they were very happy as well. Thanks Nicole.”
“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.”

“Branden was wonderful to work with. He is professional, knowledgeable, patient and friendly. This was our first time using a VA home loan, and he took a lot of time to walk us through the process and make sure we were satisfied with everything. Branden was also very direct and realistic in explaining what to expect from the process, especially when our buyers became rather difficult to deal with. I would recommend Branden to anyone looking for a realtor.”

They took the time to understand our goals, gave smart data-driven recommendations, and were always willing to share their advice at each step of the process. What really stood out was their willingness to go the extra mile. They made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. Thanks to their expertise and commitment, our condo sold quickly and at a fantastic price. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell in Chicago. Truly a five-star experience from start to finish!”
“Sarah was great with me for my townhouse purchase post divorce. She was always ready to meet me very quickly for the 5 or so places I looked at. I ultimately settled on a smaller more affordable unit and she had a great inspector recommendation for me. I learned a lot about the home buying process through her answers to my questions and I also learned about closing details that were important to address for my satisfaction. When the time comes for me to purchase any other real estate, I'm confident that I will call upon her again. She was absolutely helpful and of great help to me.”
“Would use Lizette again, very easy to work with & very professional. Would recommend here 100% to Friends.”
“Irma Was Absolutely Great From Start To Finish. When we met, She was Transparent about the process , as it was my First Time buying a Property. There was never any Rush. She was Always Patient and wanted what was Best for Me . She Had Great Insight on what to Keep An eye out For on almost every aspect in Home Buying. She Was Great at Negotiation as well , we were able to get 20 thousand + credits at Closing . TALK About a slam dunk. Thank you Irma. Definitely Recommend!”
“I worked with Dana Carris to find a new home for me and my children post divorce. Dana was a Godsend in that very stressful time. She is one of the most organized, competent people I have ever worked with. Her attention to detail is off the charts, making the process as smooth as possible. She studies her market endlessly, a true professional. It's a valuable bonus that she is very kind and has a GREAT eye for decorating. These are the reasons I chose Dana 11 years later to sell the home I bought to move out of state. She handled everything - I wasn't even in the state for closing. I HIGHLY recommend Dana Carris.”
