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

Inventory and contract activity in McHenry County show a steady but tight market. Active listings are slightly above 1,500, down a bit from last year, while new listings have risen year over year, indicating more homeowners are putting properties up for sale. Homes under contract dipped compared with a year ago, suggesting buyers are being a bit more selective even as options slowly improve.

Prices are edging up in response to this balance. The typical home value is up compared with last year, and the median list price has grown at a faster pace, signaling that sellers are testing higher asking prices. Homes here are priced above the statewide median sale price in Illinois, which reinforces McHenry County’s relatively stronger price position.

Time on market and seller leverage round out the picture. The median days on market has lengthened to the mid‑50s, yet months of supply has dropped sharply over the past year to around two and a half months, keeping conditions tilted toward sellers. A bit more than a third of recent sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is still right at 100 percent, showing buyers often need to come in near asking. With these mixed signals for pricing power and pace, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands today’s local dynamics.



Learn more about what McHenry County has to offer.

McHenry County offers residents a balanced blend of vibrant communities, abundant outdoor recreation, excellent schools, thriving local businesses, and a welcoming, family-friendly quality of life.

McHenry County feels distinct from closer‑in suburbs of Chicago, offering more open space, strong community ties, and a slower pace without giving up everyday conveniences. Towns like Crystal Lake, Woodstock, Cary, and Huntley feature historic downtowns, established neighborhoods, and newer subdivisions, giving buyers a broad mix of housing styles and price points.

Outdoor life is a major draw. Residents head to Three Oaks Recreation Area for paddle sports and lakeside paths, or explore miles of trails at Moraine Hills State Park and Glacial Park Conservation Area. Families appreciate amenities like the Crystal Lake Park District and the McHenry Outdoor Theater for seasonal events.

Culture and everyday services are close at hand. The historic Woodstock Opera House anchors community arts, while the McHenry County College campus and local school districts support long‑term educational needs. For commuters, Metra service from Crystal Lake and Cary links to Chicago, while regional connections through McHenry County, Lake in the Hills, and McHenry keep daily routines manageable.

Whether you are selling a long‑time family home or preparing to buy your first place here, timing and preparation matter in this competitive and seasonal market. Agent Pronto can connect you with a McHenry County real estate agent who understands local neighborhoods, pricing trends, and how to position you for success as a buyer or a seller.

“Selling a house can be stressful for the owners hoping to sell their house. Especially when things don't go as planned. Unfortunately, the sale of my house hit many unplanned speedbumps. Thankfully, I hired Kim Wirtz to be my realtor. Kim not only did a great job of finding solutions to unforseen adversity, but she did so with a calm and positive attitude. Kim's proffesionalism, honesty, and problem solving skills were integral in the selling of my house. I highly recommend Kim Wirtz as a realtor who can be trusted to get the job done even if it means overcoming adversity. Thank you Kim!”

“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!”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Steve Goodman and the experience we’ve had working with him over the past 10 years. Steve was my realtor when I purchased my very first condo, and 10 years later, he was right there with us as we sold that condo and purchased what we hope will be our forever home. Having the opportunity to work with the same realtor through such an important chapter of our lives speaks volumes about the trust and confidence we have in him. What sets Steve apart is that he genuinely puts his clients’ best interests first. He is never pushy or focused on simply making a sale. Instead, he takes the time to listen, answer every question, offer honest advice, and make sure you feel comfortable with every decision. He is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile.”

“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.”

“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.”
