Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Over the past year in Lakewood Shores, typical home values in this rolling three-month window have climbed sharply, up about 37% year over year to roughly $275,000. Median list prices also sit noticeably higher than a year ago, rising nearly 15%, which points to sellers generally aiming higher even as conditions shift.
Looking at the most recent rolling three-month period ending in May 2026, buyer activity has cooled in terms of closed deals, with homes sold down about 32% from a year earlier while pending sales are roughly flat. New listings have slipped nearly 16% year over year, yet active inventory is slightly higher and months of supply has expanded to about 6.4 months, a substantial increase from a year ago that signals more options and more time for buyers.
Homes are taking much longer to sell, with median days on market jumping to about 62 days compared with much quicker sales a year earlier, and no recent closings have been above list price, with an average sale-to-list ratio near 98%. Because this rolling three-month snapshot shows both higher prices and softer pace, the right local agent can be especially important, and Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these shifts in Lakewood Shores.
Lakewood Shores offers residents a welcoming, nature-forward community with convenient amenities, abundant outdoor recreation, and a strong sense of neighborly connection.
Lakewood Shores offers a practical lakeside lifestyle with a small community feel and straightforward access to larger job centers. Located near Wilmington and within reach of Joliet, it appeals to residents who prioritize affordable housing, outdoor recreation, and an easy commute along major corridors like I‑55 and Route 113.
Life here revolves around water and green space. Residents enjoy fishing, kayaking, and quiet shoreline walks along the local lakes and nearby Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie, which provides miles of trails for hiking and wildlife viewing. Families appreciate access to local schools in the Wilmington School District 209U, along with resources at the Wilmington Public Library District and community events in Braidwood and Coal City.
Daily needs are covered by nearby grocery options, local eateries, and services, with broader shopping and dining in Channahon and Morris. Outdoor enthusiasts make regular use of Mazonia‑Braidwood State Fish and Wildlife Area and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources sites along the Kankakee River for boating and picnicking.
Because Lakewood Shores is a smaller community with unique waterfront properties, covenants, and local nuances, working with an agent who truly knows the area can make a major difference. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with experienced local real estate professionals who help streamline decisions and reduce stress at every step.

“Selling a home can be emotionally and physically exhausting. Kim Wirtz took control of the process and led me through it. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and patient. I would recommend Kim to sell your home.”
“Originally we were referred by our first lender and we could not have been more fortunate to work with Vicky and Sam. They were professional and realistic regarding our home search. We had not purchased a home in a very long time and Vicky was patient and understanding and was so attentive. avidly referred us to our second lender (the first was not communicative) and it was wonderful. Overall the whole experience was great! Thank you for helping us find our dream home!”
“Laura is Amazing!”
“Working with Tracy to buy our home was a great experience and she was always available and communicative even as we navigated some difficult parts of the negotiation with the seller. She was personally at every visit and even at the inspection and closing, going way above and beyond my expectations and previous experiences with buying agents. Thanks to her we found a home for our family and while we don't plan to buy in the near future I'd be happy to work with her again and again. Thanks Tracy!”
“Steven was very helpful, knowledgeable, passionate, and most importantly he met all of my needs! I will definitely use him for all of my future home purchases in the near future. Thanks again Steven, he's definitely a ROCK STAR! I can't wait to work with him in the near future. Betty Ng”
“Mike was very responsive from start to finish. Our home sale played out exactly how Mike told us it would. We had multiple offers over asking the first weekend. We were moving out of state and a smooth and quick sale is what we were hoping for and Mike made that happen. We would highly recommend Mike to anyone looking to sell their property in the Southwest Suburbs.”
“Barb was 1/20 realtors who was willing to work with me in the beginning over 9 years ago. This is when I first purchased my home. I was cheap buyer. It went without saying I was going to be using her for the sale of the home 9 years later. She handled the hurdles flawlessly and talked me through and coached me the entire way. To say I appreciate her is an understatement. I sold my home after we relocated it of state and she coordinated every logistic of that sale on my behalf to he best of her ability. I recommend her without fail and would point every person in her direction that has a need for a solid realtor.”
“Kathy fought a lot of uphill battles for us and despite hurdles at every turn (with prospective buyer) she pushed on and was able to secure our sale. I can't thank her enough for the amount of work she put in.”
“It was a joy to work with Kathryn she was able to answer every question I had, her knowledge goes a long way and I will definitely recommend her to friends and family.”
“Brittany is an AMAZING realtor and I don't say that lightly. She goes above and beyond to make sure that we are getting everything that we asked for and more. If you are looking for a realtor that goes out of her way to make sure her clients needs are met, you have found your realtor! I could not put into words how happy I am!”
“Working with Ray was an absolute blessing throughout my home buying journey. He went above and beyond every step of the way, always remaining patient, professional, and supportive through all of the ups and downs that came along the process. No matter the challenge, Ray stayed committed and made sure I felt informed and encouraged the entire time. His dedication, communication, and genuine care truly made a difference, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and hardworking realtor.”
“Heather was very helpful from beginning to end even with the struggles and challenges we gave her.”
“Melissa Young was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable which was critical for me as a first-time home buyer.

“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”
“Great experience! Very attentive, honest, and dedicated. Professional, efficient, and easy to work with. Highly recommended!”
“We relocated from an area where we had lived our entire lives, and the prospect of moving to another state can often be quite challenging. However, our experience with Kimberly was exceptionally smooth and seamless. Her expertise, combined with the thoughtful and tailored feedback she provided based on our specific criteria, proved invaluable throughout the entire process. She conducted herself with the utmost professionalism while also making us feel genuinely supported, as though we were family. We would highly recommend her to any prospective buyers or sellers seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate professional.”
“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.”
“Dayana is the realtor for the buyer looking to purchase in a seller's market. Her expertise was the key to our acquiring the property we now own. From showing us various properties, to continually checking in with us, to putting together a competitive and timely offer, to connecting us with a good attorney, to negotiating the terms of the contract, and otherwise guiding us through the process, Dayana was the best. Thank you Dayana!”
“Shawn is a perfect example of everything a new homeowner could want in a realtor. He's patient, informative and passionate about helping you find the right home.
