Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Livingston County real estate market. *
July 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 (Jul 2026).
Inventory in Livingston County has expanded compared with last year, with active listings up sharply and months of supply rising to 2.9. Even with more homes available, closings are higher than a year ago, as homes sold increased and new listings also climbed. Pending sales have slipped month over month, hinting that contract activity has cooled slightly after a busy stretch.
Prices are adjusting in response to this changing balance. The typical home value in July was a bit higher than a year earlier, but both the median sale price and median list price have fallen from recent spring peaks, including a double-digit month-over-month drop in list prices. Sellers are still seeing solid results, with about a quarter of sales closing above the asking price and the average sale-to-list ratio holding around 97 percent.
Homes are moving faster than they did last year, with the median days on market down significantly even as inventory grows. Compared with the broader Illinois market, Livingston County remains more affordable, with typical values well below the statewide median and supply slightly tighter than the state’s 3 months of inventory. This mix of rising inventory, steady demand, and moderating prices creates different opportunities depending on your goals, and Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a local real estate agent who understands these trends.
Livingston County offers residents a welcoming blend of small-town charm, strong community services, abundant outdoor recreation, solid schools, and a growing economy that supports a comfortable, connected lifestyle.
Livingston County stands out from nearby McLean and Will counties by pairing true small town ease with direct access to major routes like I 55 and historic Route 66. Many residents commute to larger job centers while keeping their everyday lives rooted in close knit communities such as Pontiac, Fairbury, Flanagan, and Forrest.
Pontiac anchors the county with cultural staples like the Livingston County War Museum and the Route 66 Association of Illinois Hall of Fame and Museum. Local parks provide room to unwind, from Riverview Park along the Vermilion River to the family friendly Humiston Woods Nature Center near Pontiac. In towns such as Dwight, historic architecture and community events keep local identity front and center.
Daily life is supported by strong public schools and accessible services. The Pontiac District 429 schools and Prairie Central School District serve many area students, while the Livingston County Public Health Department and Pontiac Public Library contribute to quality of life across age groups.
Whether you are a longtime resident considering a move across town or relocating from Cook County for more space and quieter streets, timing and preparation matter. Market conditions can shift quickly in both Pontiac and the smaller farming communities, and the right local agent can help you plan ahead. Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers with Livingston County agents who understand each town’s character, pace, and pricing.

“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!”
“Kim was easy to work with. She explained everything very clearly, which was something important to me as a first time seller. Her attention to detail and open communication were greatly appreciated and I highly recommend working with her.”
“I previously used Jeffry Phillips to sell a house I inherited. It was a very emotional time and he was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and gave suggestions of things that could be done to the house prior to selling it. Because that experience was so positive and he was so professional I utilized his services when it was time for me to sell my house. When it came time to sell my home, he was professional and extremely knowledgeable about the Garfield Ridge neighborhood. I would highly recommend him to any of my friends family, and neighbors if they are buying or selling a house.”
“Vicky knows real estate and has excellent communication skills. She relayed her recommendations and expectations. Her experience expedited the sale of my home. I had a contract in less than two days. She is a hard worker and always available to respond to questions or concerns. I highly recommend her for an agent.”
“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.”
“Ann and her teams knowledge of the real estate market are second none.”
“Larry is by far the most AMAZING Realtor. He was always very responsive to my calls, texts, request, etc. We built up such a great relationship through this crazy process, that even after we closed on our new home, he reached out to check on us. He is always looking to get the best deal for his clients. He is like family now to us and will always have his own seat next to the firepit in our backyard. I would DEFINETLY recommend Larry to anyone and everyone looking to buy or sell. AMAZING.. Can't say enough Great things about Larry.”
