Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026).

Madison County is seeing more homes come on the market, with active listings up more than 10 percent from last year and totaling 1,057 in July. New listings jumped over 26 percent year over year, while homes sold rose nearly 9 percent. Even with more choices, supply stayed lean at just 2.1 months, keeping conditions tilted toward sellers.

Pricing has been relatively steady compared with a year ago. The typical home value is up a little more than 1 percent annually, and the median list price is about 5 percent higher than last year, even though the monthly median sale price dipped from June. Homes are still moving, but the median days on market has recently edged up to 34 days, after being lower earlier in the year.

Even with that slight slowdown, Madison County homes are selling close to asking price, with an average sale-to-list ratio just under 100 percent and more than a third of recent sales closing above list. Compared with Illinois overall, local prices sit well below the statewide median of about $339,000, which can make the area feel more accessible to buyers even as sellers benefit from low inventory. Buyers who want to navigate rising inventory and tight supply, and sellers aiming to price correctly in this shifting environment, can both turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a skilled local agent.

“Working with Kim was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She is exceptionally professional, possesses deep market knowledge, and priced our home right on target, which allowed it to sell quickly. Her photographer captured stunning photos that truly showcased our property in its best light. What stood out the most was her prompt communication - she always answered our questions righ away - and her trustworthy guidance gave us complete peace of mind, especially since we live out of state. She even connected us with an excellent real estate attorney to help streamline the closing process. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend her!”

“Steve sold our house the first weekend on the market, for well over asking, but that's honestly only part of the reason he was a great realtor to sell our house. When our buyer had a medical emergency the day of closing, Steve was able to help us manage the situation and resolve it as quickly as possible after we had already left the state. I'm truly grateful for everything he did for us!”

“Was impressed from the beginning when the owner answered the phone and made an appointment within a day or two to come out to the property. When we decided to put the house on the market, they were extremely professional And answered all our questions. The photographer came out promptly, and took amazing pictures of the property. It was listed the next day,and our house sold in less than a week. Andrew McCatty was our broker. He could not have been more knowledgeable or professional. Any questions that we had, Andrew either answered the phone or got back to us very quickly. Highly recommend Andrew and Century 21 Circle. Would only work with them again and would recommend them to family and friends.”

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!”

“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 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.”
