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.
Learn more about what Knollwood has to offer.
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.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“Our real estate agent, Nicole Canny, from Mike McCatty office is fantastic and I highly recommend her to everyone. She has been looking for the perfect house for my daughter and husband and their family for about 2 years now as they had certain requirements for a new house and a certain area they wanted to live in also. Nicole was persistent and she finally found the perfect home for them and the purchase all went quickly, smoothly and was a great experience overall. Thanks to Nicole Canny and now she will be able to sell their old house also.”
“We had such a great experience working with Victoria and Sam! They were always quick to respond whenever we sent a home we were interested in or had questions. They were willing to go on as many tours as it took to help us find the right fit and were honest about steering us away from homes with structural concerns. It was clear they genuinely had our best interests at heart and wanted us to find a home we’d love. They’re also both funny and easy to get along with, which made the entire process that much more enjoyable. We couldn’t recommend them enough!”
“Kim Wirtz A fantastic sales person,Thank you very much for selling my property in such a short time.”
“I highly recommend working with Meldina! She is incredibly accommodating and always willing to show the properties, even on the short notice. She is very knowledgeable about the location we are exploring and her positive attitude, amazing energy and solution oriented mindset truly make a difference.Her professionalism and enthusiasm make the entire experience enjoyable. Thank you, Meldina, for you outstanding support and dedication.”
“Working with Anthony was an absolute game-changer for us as first-time home buyers. He knows the local market inside and out, he answered all of our (many) questions at any time of the day, and not only was he very professional and reliable, but we knew throughout the process that he genuinely cared about us and our satisfaction. Now we have our dream home! I'm so glad we had Anthony working with us throughout this process, and we highly recommend him!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Steve Goodman and the experience we’ve had working with him over the past 10 years. Steve was my realtor when I purchased my very first condo, and 10 years later, he was right there with us as we sold that condo and purchased what we hope will be our forever home. Having the opportunity to work with the same realtor through such an important chapter of our lives speaks volumes about the trust and confidence we have in him. What sets Steve apart is that he genuinely puts his clients’ best interests first. He is never pushy or focused on simply making a sale. Instead, he takes the time to listen, answer every question, offer honest advice, and make sure you feel comfortable with every decision. He is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile.”
“Jeff is a knowledgeable professional. Trustworthy who will give you excellent feedback and advice”
“Catherine Terpstra made herself available to us in our search for a house as we were moving from out of state back to IL. As soon as we contacted her, it felt like she dropped everything "just for us". (We know she was attending to other clinets, as well!) She was very efficient in setting up houses for us to tour, within and without our pricing perameters. She "heard us" in regard to the "non-negotiables" we had for a house for which we were looking. She printed out pertinent infomration on each place for us. We were in a time-crunch, as we had come from out of state to search for a place to live. She was able to help us find a very nice new home. We are very thankful to her for her understanding and expertise in real estate and in the current housing market.”
“I've worked with Shawn Jones for nearly 10 years. He helped me find my first apartment, and first home after getting married. He is a deeply considerate, caring, and experienced agent. I can't recommend him highly enough.”
“Rose Riodan, did excellently well, always available for phone calls, chat and prompt with emails. Gave great advice and recommendations that supported making informed decisions.”
“She was super nice and very attentive of my needs. She was available 24/7. She helped me so much. She would explain everything in detail and was very patient with me. Overall, she was the best. I would 100% suggest her to my friends and families.”
“Emir is a wonderful agent! His expertise in real estate was great and he was extremely helpful with any questions. He was patient and always responded in a timely manner. I would highly recommend hiring Emir as your agent!”
“Heather was amazing to work with on my recent condo purchase! With her help I was able to meet my needs and deadline to purchase the condo! She is also incredibly helpful in connecting buyers with great people/companies that make the process easy.”
“Paula was fantastic! She was knowledgeable, very responsive, and was able to walk me through the process step-by-step as a first-time seller. Would highly recommend to anyone and everyone!”
“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.”
“Laura is Amazing!”
“It was a pleasure to work with Robert, he paid a lot of attention to our expectations and preferences, and he is strong in negotiating.”
“To be honest Ralph was the best part of my team. He's a good person and if it wasn't for him I wouldn't know half of what I know about buying a house Thanks Ralph”
“Our house could be considered high end property in the neighborhood. Cinny worked hard to get it under the contract in a week and sold our house a little over a month. We are happy about the result. During the process, there were ups and downs which made us nervious. Cinny listened to our concerns and gave us professional advice.”
