Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Compared with a year ago, McHenry’s rolling three-month home values have climbed steadily. The typical home value is up nearly 14 percent year over year, while median list prices have risen a bit more than 10 percent. At the same time, homes are taking slightly longer to sell than last year, with median days on market edging up to about a month and a half.
In the latest rolling three-month period ending in September 2026, inventory tightened and activity cooled. Active listings are down more than 16 percent from a year earlier, and homes sold have fallen by a similar amount, with new listings and pending sales also declining double digits year over year. Months of supply has moved up compared with last year but still sits near just a little over two months, supporting McHenry’s classification as a seller’s market.
Pricing power has softened somewhat even as values rise. The share of homes selling above list has dropped from last year to about one-third of sales, and the average sale-to-list ratio has slipped slightly to just under 100 percent. Roughly half of homes are still going off the market within two weeks, signaling that well-priced properties can attract quick offers despite slower overall volume. With these crosscurrents affecting both negotiating leverage and timing, buyers and sellers can both benefit from an Agent Pronto recommended agent who understands the McHenry numbers in detail.
McHenry offers residents a welcoming, small-town atmosphere paired with a vibrant downtown, ample parks and trails along the Fox River, solid schools, and a tight-knit community with easy access to regional amenities.
McHenry offers a distinct mix of small-city character and riverfront recreation that sets it apart from nearby suburbs such as Crystal Lake and Woodstock. Centered on the Fox River and McCullom Lake, the city balances established neighborhoods with newer developments, giving residents options from classic bungalows to modern subdivisions. Local events at Veterans Memorial Park and the restored McHenry Downtown Theater create a shared sense of identity that long-time residents and newcomers value.
Outdoor life is a major part of living in McHenry. The McHenry Riverwalk connects dining spots and seasonal events along the water, while Moraine Hills State Park and the Prairie Trail offer miles of paths for walking, biking, and cross-country skiing. Families appreciate access to McHenry Community High School District 156 and the resources at McHenry Public Library. Everyday convenience comes from local shops and restaurants, with larger retail and commuter rail in nearby Fox Lake and Cary.
The McHenry housing market can move quickly, especially along the river and in well-kept established areas. Whether you are preparing to sell and want to maximize value, or planning a move and hoping to act fast when the right home appears, being ready is essential. Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers in McHenry with the right real estate agent so they can time their move with confidence.

“We weren’t sure how to compare the offers on our house beyond the price. Ryan walked us through the financing, contingencies, and closing dates so we understood the differences. He was patient with our questions and kept us updated as we moved toward closing. We appreciated being able to reach him when something came up.”
“Holly was everything and more I could ask for when I needed someone to help me with the sale of my home. After moving across country, holly orchestrated everything; from pictures to showings, to letting junk removal in, to double checking things for me. She was always a phone call away and incredibly responsive to any inquiries I had (there were a lot). Being states away now from my property, Holly made me feel at ease. And with settling into a new place and a new job, suddenly the sale of my house was on the back of my mind because I knew Holly could take care of everything. Listed with gorgeous pictures right away, four offers in less than a week and a half, and a final offer that was above asking, she did everything I needed and more. Couldn’t recommend a better realtor for your needs.”
“I worked with Eric for the better course of a year to land my first property, and Eric demonstrated extreme patience, flexibility, excellent communication, and great professionalism throughout the whole process. Eric is extremely knowledgeable in his expertise and makes the buyer feel comfortable and confident in their decisions. Eric is extremely approachable and supportive, and I would recommend anyone in the buying market to reach out to Eric with any questions, tours, or any housing-related items.”
“My realtor nick and his team were phenomenal. It was my first time buying a home and they answered all my questions and helped me every step of the way. Made the whole process very easy. You definitely want them in your corner when purchasing a home.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better agent than Christin Kaufman to help us sell our home. Our transaction turned out to be far more challenging than we ever expected. We were dealing with an extremely demanding buyer and what seemed like an endless stream of questions, concerns, and new requests. Through all of it, Christin was fantastic. She stayed calm, kept us focused on the end goal, helped us separate the important issues from the noise, and guided us through every new twist without letting the process get off track. She was always responsive, patient, and willing to talk through our options. Anyone can look like a great real estate agent when a transaction goes perfectly. You really learn the value of your agent when things get difficult. Christin proved her value to us over and over again and ultimately helped us get across the finish line. We are incredibly grateful for everything she did for us and would recommend Christin without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
“With Diana’s marketing expertise and beautiful professional photos of our house, our house got $100k overasking within the first 24hrs of our listing going live. She did an amazing job protecting our interest and shielding us from random inquiries. We had more than 14 showings in 48 hrs, multiple offers, and several bids.”
“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!!”
“Jackie was the greatest at helping me find a home that was best for me! She’s very transparent about everything going on in the market and only wants what’s best for you. I’m so grateful for her!”
“Rosemarie was extremely helpful in the process of buying our home! She is very knowledgeable about so many different aspects of the buying process and answered all of our many questions. She is connected with so many different resources and connected us with both our lawyer and home inspector that she knew and trusted. We had a lovely experience with her when we purchased our home in 2024 and couldn’t be more grateful for all of her help!”
“Shannon is the definition of professionalism, and reliability. First, she helped sell our house, fast and for its maximum value. While other homes sat, ours sold! Secondly, there is no way my wife and I would have ever found our dream home if it weren’t for Shannon’s deep real estate knowledge, and patience with us buyers. This was my 4th real estate transaction, my wife’s 1st and I’ve never had a better experience with a realtor. 10/10 recommendation to anyone in the city or suburbs, no matter your experience with home buying or selling.”
“We trusted Marek Prus because of his excellent reputation in the real estate business, and he did not disappoint. He did a great job selling our condo, and buying our new townhouse. Marek was diligent, on time and prepared every time. He truly cared about our unique situation. From handling negotiations to resolving last minute hiccups, Marek Prus proved to be an excellent problem solver. Thanks to his vast knowledge and experience, we felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire selling and buying process. We strongly recommend him to anyone! Thank You Marek!”
“Working with Steve was an incredible experience from start to finish. I had the utmost confidence that he was always looking out for my best interests. He was knowledgeable, responsive, honest, and patient throughout every step of the process. No question was ever too small, and I always felt informed and supported when making important decisions. His professionalism and dedication made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel smooth and manageable. I truly felt like I had someone in my corner the entire time, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a realtor they can genuinely trust. Thank you for going above and beyond!”
“I don’t know how she does it, but Marina is truly exceptional at her craft! She helped us close on a house in Mount Prospect, even in the hardest market to buy. I have no words to describe how amazing she is but she doesn’t need them, her work speaks for itself! Thank you always Marina!”
“We are so incredibly grateful to have had Bryce Fuller with The Fuller Force Team help us find our first home! From the very beginning, Bryce made what could have been a stressful and overwhelming process feel so much easier and more exciting. He was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely listened to what we were looking for. He never made us feel pressured and always took the time to answer our questions, explain things, and make sure we felt comfortable with every decision along the way. It was clear from the start that he truly cared about finding the right home for us and not just making a sale. Buying our first home is such a huge milestone for us, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor to experience it with. Bryce went above and beyond throughout the entire process, and we are so thankful for all of his hard work, guidance, and support. We absolutely love our new home and are so excited for this next chapter of our lives. We would recommend Bryce and The Fuller Force Team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. We couldn’t be happier with our experience!”
“I have had the pleasure of working with Andrew and his team on the sale of two homes, as well as the purchase of another. Throughout each transaction, the team was consistently efficient, friendly, and professional. I was kept well informed at every stage of the process, and everything was explained clearly and thoroughly. Any questions I had were addressed promptly, and I always felt that my needs and concerns were given careful attention. I would highly recommend Andrew and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Their professionalism, communication, and commitment to providing excellent service made each experience a very positive one.”
“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!”
“Honestly Ariel is an amazing realtor. She was responsive, knowledgeable, and willing to answer all my random questions as a first time homeowner. She clearly explained the process, was patient when looking at a variety of homes over a year, and was a huge help. 10/10 Recommend!”
“Can't recommend working with Brooke enough! We luckily got assigned to work with Brooke as our agent through Zillow and had the best experience with her. Incredibly knowledgeable in all things real estate. She has experience as a home inspector, so that was a huge plus for us as first time home buyers. She was very communicative and helped us through a lot of the process, answered all of our questions very honestly, and was just a great guide to have through the whole home buying process. She definitely has your best interest in mind and makes sure you're comfortable with any decision you make. Super professional, friendly, and dedicated. We couldn't have done it without her.”
“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.”
“This is my third time working with Robert, and there’s a reason I continue to come back! He is incredibly knowledgeable, straightforward, and truly advocates for his clients throughout the entire process. He gives excellent, honest feedback when it comes to staging and preparing a home for the market, and his attention to presentation—including fantastic professional photography—really helps a property stand out. He knows how to position a home to sell well and sell quickly. I’ve trusted him through three real estate transactions now and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced, effective realtor who genuinely has their best interests in mind.”
