Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Year-over-year, Lakewood’s rolling three-month data points to solid price growth alongside softer sales activity. Typical home values are up about 11 percent from last year, while the median list price has climbed more than 25 percent, yet homes sold over the period are down nearly 45 percent and pending sales are lower as well.
Looking at the latest rolling three-month window through September 2026, inventory and time on market show a shifting landscape. Active listings are down almost 19 percent from a year ago even as months of supply has more than doubled to around 4.8 months, and the median days on market has shortened by roughly two weeks.
Pricing power still leans toward sellers, but buyers are gaining a bit more room to maneuver. Roughly one-third of recent sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio sits just over 101 percent, while about 40 percent of homes went off the market within two weeks. In this kind of evolving market, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto connecting them with an agent who knows Lakewood’s trends in detail.
Lakewood offers residents a welcoming, family-friendly community with well-maintained parks, convenient local amenities, and a strong sense of connection.
Lakewood is a residential village known for spacious neighborhoods, tree-lined streets, and easy access to larger hubs like Crystal Lake and Huntley. Many buyers are drawn by the balance of quiet living with practical conveniences, along with strong community amenities.
Outdoor recreation is a major part of daily life. Residents enjoy golf at Turnberry Country Club and walking paths around Crystal Lake Park District’s nearby facilities, including the popular Three Oaks Recreation Area. Neighborhood parks and ponds create opportunities for fishing, biking, and seasonal activities close to home. Families appreciate proximity to Crystal Lake South High School and local elementary options within Community Consolidated School District 47, which help keep daily routines manageable.
Commuters benefit from relatively short drives to the Crystal Lake Metra station and straightforward connections to McHenry County and the broader Chicagoland area. Everyday needs are easily met through nearby shopping and dining along major corridors in Algonquin and Lake in the Hills, giving residents options without sacrificing a calmer residential setting.
Navigating Lakewood’s different subdivisions, association rules, and evolving market values can be complex. A local Agent Pronto–recommended real estate professional can interpret neighborhood nuances, streamline each step, and reduce stress for both buyers and sellers.

“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.”
“My realtor nick and his team were phenomenal. It was my first time buying a home and they answered all my questions and helped me every step of the way. Made the whole process very easy. You definitely want them in your corner when purchasing a home.”
“With Diana’s marketing expertise and beautiful professional photos of our house, our house got $100k overasking within the first 24hrs of our listing going live. She did an amazing job protecting our interest and shielding us from random inquiries. We had more than 14 showings in 48 hrs, multiple offers, and several bids.”
“We trusted Marek Prus because of his excellent reputation in the real estate business, and he did not disappoint. He did a great job selling our condo, and buying our new townhouse. Marek was diligent, on time and prepared every time. He truly cared about our unique situation. From handling negotiations to resolving last minute hiccups, Marek Prus proved to be an excellent problem solver. Thanks to his vast knowledge and experience, we felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire selling and buying process. We strongly recommend him to anyone! Thank You Marek!”
“Marla did an outstanding job assisting us finding the right home for us. She was very helpful and understood our needs. With her experience we was able to finalize our 1st home in timely manner. She is the perfect realtor who will go above and beyond to find the right place/home for you.”
“I have had the pleasure of working with Andrew and his team on the sale of two homes, as well as the purchase of another. Throughout each transaction, the team was consistently efficient, friendly, and professional. I was kept well informed at every stage of the process, and everything was explained clearly and thoroughly. Any questions I had were addressed promptly, and I always felt that my needs and concerns were given careful attention. I would highly recommend Andrew and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Their professionalism, communication, and commitment to providing excellent service made each experience a very positive one.”
“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!”
“Honestly Ariel is an amazing realtor. She was responsive, knowledgeable, and willing to answer all my random questions as a first time homeowner. She clearly explained the process, was patient when looking at a variety of homes over a year, and was a huge help. 10/10 Recommend!”
“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.”
“This is my third time working with Robert, and there’s a reason I continue to come back! He is incredibly knowledgeable, straightforward, and truly advocates for his clients throughout the entire process. He gives excellent, honest feedback when it comes to staging and preparing a home for the market, and his attention to presentation—including fantastic professional photography—really helps a property stand out. He knows how to position a home to sell well and sell quickly. I’ve trusted him through three real estate transactions now and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced, effective realtor who genuinely has their best interests in mind.”
“Graham was absolutely wonderful to work with during our out of state move. He kept everything feeling smooth and stress free, stayed in great communication, and was always quick to answer any questions we had. His friendly attitude and willingness to help made the whole selling process so much easier. We truly appreciated all his support and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Matt did a fantastic job. He is very knowledgeable about the area, and the processes, and all the little tricks to maximize the odds of a successful home purchase. As a buyer from out of state, I can say Matt made the process much better than it could have been. He sent us walkthrough videos of each property (usually within 1-2 hours of my request). Matt goes above and beyond and we could not have asked for a better real estate agent.”
“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.”
“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!”
“John Campobasso was great to work with in selling our unit. He was professional, knowledgeable, and guided us through every step of the process. We really appreciated how upfront and straightforward he was. He always gave us honest feedback and clear expectations. He made the whole experience feel smooth and much less stressful than we anticipated. We’re so glad we worked with him and would definitely recommend his services to anyone looking to buy or sell.”
“Teresa did a great job for us. She offered valuable advice during both the purchase of our new home and sale of our old home. She was very responsive when we needed her help. Her mortgage and home remodeling contacts helped tremendously. I highly recommend her.”
