Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).
Inventory in Knollwood has been tight in the latest rolling three-month view, with only 12 active listings and just 0.7 months of supply. New listings are down sharply year over year, dropping more than half, while homes sold have held about steady. Pending sales have eased compared with last year, pointing to fewer new contracts even as closed sales stay relatively stable.
Pricing has pushed higher despite the limited flow of new properties. The typical home value over this period is up more than 40% from a year ago, while the median list price is slightly lower than last year, suggesting sellers may be pricing more strategically to attract offers. Buyers are still bidding strongly, with the average sale-to-list ratio a bit above 102% and roughly 45% of homes selling above their asking price.
Days on market have lengthened notably compared with last year, reaching a median of 49 days in the current rolling window, yet many homes still move quickly, with more than two in five going off the market within two weeks. Taken together with a seller’s market gauge reading, these trends show a low-supply environment where well-priced homes can command strong interest. Agent Pronto can connect buyers who need guidance in this fast-moving setting and sellers who want to capitalize on current conditions with the right local agent.
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.

“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!”

“Working with Cliff Perotti as our selling and buying agent was an outstanding experience from start to finish. His knowledge of the market and the entire home-buying process is exceptional—he seemed to have answers to our questions before we even thought to ask them. What really set Cliff apart was his communication and dedication. We had a challenging loan process, but he navigated it with confidence and kept us informed every step of the way—literally minute by minute. That level of attentiveness gave us a lot of peace of mind during what could have been a very stressful situation. I would not hesitate to recommend Cliff to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He’s professional, proactive, and truly invested in his clients. We will absolutely be using him again for any future real estate transactions.”
