Year over year, McHenry’s rolling three-month data shows notable price growth alongside softer activity. The typical home value has climbed about 19 percent, while the median list price is up roughly 16 percent from a year ago. At the same time, homes sold and new listings are both down double digits, pointing to fewer transactions overall.
In the latest rolling three-month period ending in August 2026, prices and inventory reflect this tighter environment. The typical home value sits around $350,000 with a median list price just under that, and only 209 active listings, down more than 8 percent from last year. Buyer demand has cooled somewhat, with homes sold off about 12 percent and pending sales down roughly 18 percent year over year, yet the market gauge still classifies McHenry as a seller’s market.
Conditions on the ground highlight how quickly the right homes can move. The median days on market is 48, modestly higher than a year ago, while months of supply is just 2.1, indicating limited options for buyers. Roughly 36 percent of sales are closing above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio still hovers right at 100 percent, showing that well-priced homes are commanding close to asking. Whether you are a buyer navigating scarce inventory or a seller weighing strong prices, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local McHenry agent to guide your next move.
