Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Knollwood real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
In Knollwood, buyers currently have a very limited number of options, with only 3 homes on the market and just 2 new listings in February 2026. Contract activity is modest, with 1 pending sale, but homes that do list are not sitting for long. The median time to go under contract is about 20 days, reflecting a steady pace for such a small pool of properties.
Prices are adjusting in different ways across the market. The typical home value is around $335,000, yet the median list price is significantly higher at $499,950, suggesting sellers are often aiming above the area’s overall value level. Compared with Lake County’s typical value of $390,000, Knollwood is priced somewhat lower, and the county is projected to edge up to about $400,000 while Knollwood’s projected typical value shifts to roughly $272,500.
Despite the small sample size, February’s data points to a seller’s market, as reflected in the market gauge reading of 30. Sellers are generally pricing with some ambition, but closed deals have been landing at about 98.5 percent of the asking price, and none of the recent sales closed above list. With list prices projected to rise toward $579,925 and inventory expected to hold near 3 homes in March 2026, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with an experienced local agent who understands these dynamics.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
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.
