Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Feb 2026 - Apr 2026).
Over the rolling three-month period ending in April 2026, McHenry shows softer prices but stronger activity than a year ago. Typical home values are down a bit year over year, while homes sold have surged by nearly half compared with the same time last year. New listings and pending sales are also higher than a year ago, signaling more movement on both sides of the transaction.
Looking at the latest snapshot, the typical home value is about $290,000, with a median list price near $315,000, indicating sellers are still aiming above recent sale prices. Homes are spending a median of 48 days on the market, yet more than 58 percent go off the market within two weeks, highlighting that well-priced properties can still move quickly.
Inventory conditions help explain the pace of sales. Active listings have climbed to nearly 200, and months of supply has risen to 2.8, but the area still registers as a seller’s market overall. Roughly 36 percent of recent sales closed above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 100 percent, suggesting buyers have limited room for negotiation. With these shifting but still tight conditions, both buyers and sellers in McHenry can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an experienced local agent to guide their next move.

“Steve was always available, knowledgeable, and willing to listen to our thoughts and concerns about selling our home. More importantly, the selling of our home in tandem of purchasing a new home at the same time, went really well. If we needed to move again (heaven forbid) I wouldn't hesitate to have Steve again.”

“I had an amazing experience working with Erick when purchasing my new home. From the very beginning, he took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and offered valuable insights into the housing market. Erick was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and responsive, answering all my questions and guiding me through every step of the process. The process of finding the perfect home can be overwhelming, but Erick made it seamless. He was always available to schedule viewings at my convenience, and when we found the right place, he worked tirelessly to ensure my offer was competitive and that all the paperwork was handled efficiently. Thanks to Erick, I now own a home that I absolutely love. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and professional real estate agent.”

“Agent Pronto helped up find a good agent in Larry. He was a pleasure to work with and helped us through a challenging sale.”
The Jason Mitchell Group Jason Mitchell Real Estate IL
“Anthony understood us, our personalities and interests. We were able to relate to him in a number of ways and that made us comfortable working with him. He was a compassionate person, and it meant a lot to him to find places that served us, which also meant a lot to us. We gave him some of our requirements for a home, and he would continue to refine his search accordingly. He did not discriminate homes based on their pricing. When we wanted to check out a much more inexpensive house, he worked hard to get us a showing. It seemed like he cared more about finding us a place we would be happy than the amount of his commission. He was willing to do a lot of traveling, and even worked late hours for us. I would never ask someone to work late or early, but he took it upon himself to do so several times, which we highly appreciate. Anthony found us a great inspector, and did a lot of mediation for us that we so desperately needed. He was honest when he wasn't able to help with certain things that were outside of his job description, like advising us financially. However he was able to find an attorney and a lender that we ended up really liking, who also cared about us and were available any time we needed them. Anthony feels like a friend, and we will be sure to hire him if and when we move again.”

Pat is a role model to all real estate agents. Through my observation and research I found that Pat is greatly involved in her community which also contributes to her standing in it and her profession. All of these attributes gave me a feeling of trust in Pat that you will realize also. My recommendation of Pat Smarto is without reservation!”

“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.”
