Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Lawrence’s rolling three-month data through September 2026 shows notable shifts from a year ago. Typical home values are down sharply year over year, with the median sale price falling by nearly a third while median list prices are also lower. At the same time, active listings, new listings, and pending sales have all roughly doubled compared with last year, pointing to more movement on both the supply and demand sides.
In the latest three-month window, prices and pace reflect a market that is adjusting. The typical home value sits around the mid‑$200,000s while the median list price is higher, indicating some gap between seller expectations and closed sale prices, and homes are spending about two months on the market on a typical sale.
Longer timelines are another clear trend in Lawrence, with median days on market up about 59 percent year over year, and the share of homes selling above list price dropping to zero from a mix that once included many above‑ask sales. The average sale-to-list ratio has slipped to the mid‑90 percent range, reinforcing that buyers now have more room to negotiate even though months of supply, at just over three, still supports a seller’s market label. With these crosscurrents between pricing power and listing activity, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who knows how to navigate current local conditions.
Learn more about what Lawrence has to offer.
Lawrence offers residents a welcoming, community-focused living experience with accessible parks, convenient local amenities, and a steady slate of events that enrich everyday life.
Lawrence feels distinct from nearby communities because of its small scale and strong sense of continuity. While larger neighbors along the Fox River corridor see faster turnover, Lawrence moves at a steadier pace, with long-time residents, multi‑generation farms, and pockets of newer housing that quietly fill in around established streets and fields.
Daily life centers on local schools and shared public spaces. Families appreciate access to districts connected with Lawrence County schools, the regional library system, and youth sports that draw neighbors together. Outdoor time often means a quick trip to River Park along the Embarras and Wabash river routes, or a drive to the recreation opportunities near Red Hill State Park and Chauncey Marsh Nature Preserve. Local events in nearby Lawrenceville and Bridgeport add dining, shopping, and entertainment options without losing the rural character that defines Lawrence.
Housing here ranges from long‑held farmhouses to modest in‑town properties, with prices that often compare favorably to larger markets like Effingham or Terre Haute. Inventory can be limited, which rewards preparation. Buyers who understand school boundaries, well and septic inspections, and commute patterns are better positioned when the right home appears. Sellers who plan updates, pricing, and timing around seasonal demand can capture strong interest. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers in Lawrence with a knowledgeable local agent to navigate the market with confidence.

“She was great to work with. Professional, personable, responsive, and reliable. I highly recommend working with her.”
“Lisa and Donna have both been wonderful to work with. I bought my 1st home with them and returned to them to recently sell my home. They made both the buying and sell process seamless and easy. They were always readily available to answer questions and went above and beyond to find me a perfect home at the time and to find the perfect buyer when we were ready for a change.”
“I have worked with Barb for years and she was so patient and understanding to my situation and was amazing with communication.”
“Renee is an incredibly knowledgeable agent that has a lot of experience, cares about her clients, and is trustworthy !! She knows the ins and outs of current real estate markets and how to strategically price a property so that it will sell in a timely manner but with the highest yield!! She has sold two of our properties over the last eight years (one in Illinois and one in Wisconsin) and we received more than we expected on each of the sales!! We cannot recommend her highly enough! Thank you so much, Renee!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Jose made the process incredibly smooth is first-time buyers.”
“Selling our first home was emotional, and we couldn’t have asked for a better realtor than Brittany. When our first offer fell through, she had us under contract with a second offer within 24 hours! Her unwavering confidence and steady reassurance helped us feel at ease during such an uncertain time, especially as first-time sellers. Brittany supported us every step of the way, always making time to listen, answer our questions, and talk through our concerns. We felt heard, cared for, and confident that she had our best interests at heart. This was our second real estate transaction with Brittany, and we would never work with anyone else. We’re so grateful for her dedication, expertise, and kindness. We cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“Ray Roswell provided exceptional service throughout the process. His assistance in locating a new home, combined with his expertise in the sale of manufactured homes, was invaluable. I confidently recommend him to anyone considering buying or selling a home.”
“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”
“We were referred to Tracy in our move from downtown to the suburbs, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She made what can be a stressful process feel easy and manageable from start to finish. Tracy was both professional and personal, detail-oriented, responsive, and always quick to act when it mattered. Her deep knowledge of the local market and strong connections were invaluable throughout our purchase. We would wholeheartedly recommend Tracy to anyone looking to buy a home!”
“Michelle was exceptional throughout the entire home-buying process! She was always on top of the paperwork, deadlines, and everything we needed to get our purchase completed. Her responsiveness, organization, and attention to detail made the process so much smoother. We truly appreciated all her hard work and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home!”
“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.”
