Information and statistics on the latest trends in the LaSalle County real estate market. *
June 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026).
LaSalle County currently leans toward sellers, with a seller’s market gauge reading and only about three months of supply compared to Illinois’ 2.9 months. At the same time, buyers see more choices than a year ago, as active listings are up around 8 percent year over year and sit near the higher end of the past 12 months.
Home values have climbed notably, with the typical sale price in June up roughly 21 percent from last year and jumping about 16 percent just since May. Yet list prices are more modest, rising about 5 percent year over year and even slipping month to month, which can give buyers some room to negotiate below asking.
Demand shows up in faster movement and solid contract activity, as homes sold rose nearly 24 percent from May and pending sales also increased more than 20 percent. At the same time, the share of properties selling above list has surged month over month, while the average sale-to-list ratio has inched up to just under 98 percent, signaling sellers still hold some pricing power. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these mixed signals in LaSalle County can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands this market and can guide them through their next move.

Overall the whole experience was great! Thank you for helping us find our dream home!”
