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

McHenry County is seeing fewer homes change hands, with homes sold down from last month and also lower than a year ago. Pending sales have slipped at a similar pace, even as new listings are up more than 13 percent year over year. Active inventory has edged down compared with last year, so buyers are getting more fresh options without a big overall buildup in supply.

Prices are holding near recent highs while adjusting slightly from midsummer peaks. The typical home value is up almost 6 percent from a year ago, and the median list price is more than 4 percent higher, even after both declined a bit month over month.

Conditions still lean toward sellers, with 2.7 months of supply compared with 2.9 months across Illinois, though supply has grown more than 14 percent over the past year. Homes take a median of 51 days to go under contract, down modestly from last year, and nearly one in three sales closes above the asking price, supported by an average sale-to-list ratio just under 100 percent. With these shifting dynamics in McHenry County, buyers and sellers can both benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended real estate professional who understands how to navigate pricing, timing, and competition.



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.

“Brittany was so confident and optimistic from day one and made herself available any time of day, with very prompt communication on any request or update! She came prepared before even meeting me, educated on comparisons and providing examples from the start! She even had a strategy, and always thought in the markets shoes, determining when is the best day, or even time of day to update or post my listing! She had my back the whole time, and gave her honest opinion and advice for counter offers, and asking price, while also respecting my decision the whole time! I am thankful she helped me sell my townhome, in under 40 days on the market! 👏👏”

“I would recommend Andrew and his team to anyone that's both looking to buy or sell. The team is very knowledgable, patient and will take as much time as you need to answer all your questions.”

“Out of every realtor I had spoken to in my preparations for house hunting, not a single one of them impressed me or educated me as much as a Chandra. I walked in knowing almost nothing of the house buying process and wasn't sure where to start. Chandra was very patient in explaining the process, in order, and how best to work through every obstacle we came across. She was helpful in ways I didn't know to anticipate and could not recommend her enough. You're doing yourself a disservice if you go with just about anybody else. 15/10. Would recommend.”

“For a first time homebuyer it feel important to have someone in your corner who knows the area and the business. Victoria and team are those people you want. She was patient, understanding, and transparent during the process. If I ever sell or buy a new home, I'll be contacting her again.”

“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.”

“We had an amazing experience working with Rizwan to purchase our first home. From our very first meeting at a coffee shop—where he took the time to understand our priorities and clearly explain the entire process—he was the perfect guide for us. We found Rizwan to be highly competent, reliable, and a deeply skilled negotiator. Most importantly (and indeed this is quite rare in our world), we always felt he had our best interests at heart and never rushed us into a decision. When the perfect house came along, he acted quickly to secure it with the right offer. We highly recommend him! P.S. He's also very fun to work with!”

“Ed and his team were true professionals. He made home buying very easy. His knowledge of the area and house construction took some fear out of the homebuying process. We will use and recommend Ed and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a house. Thank you for making our homebuying less stressful Ed and Jenn.”

“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.”

“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.”

“In today’s world, when reviewing a product and/or business, Artificial Intelligence tends to be used to get it done in a fast and efficient manner. That would be an absolute disservice to Miriam’s work product and personality. She is genuine. She is responsive. She is intelligent. She is kind. My favorite aspect of Miriam’s work is her past experience working at a property management company. She understands how a building is run, the importance of the building’s budget, and other minor details you would never even think of. She is simply the best, and you should definitely give her the opportunity to help you find your new home!”

“I highly recommend working with Cesar. One of the things I liked best about working with him was that he really seemed to have my best interests at heart. This man will be pulling out his phone light checking basement corners for any signs of mold or water and checking above every stove to see if there’s a proper vent or not. He noticed many things on walk throughs that my parents and I may have just breezed right past and he makes sure to point out the things he notices, good or bad. They say never trust a sales person but idk, I think Cesar’s just in it for the love of the game at this point. I dragged this man to a LOT of houses and he never once rushed me. He was very insistent that we need to find the right fit for me and that I not go past the amount of money I was comfortable with. This was my first time buying a home so I had about 80,000 questions and he was always happy to talk through any questions or concerns. He’s a fun guy to work with as well. In these trying times you need a sense of humor or the home buying process will be miserable. All in all I would definitely recommend working with him.”

“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!!”

“Scott has been an absolute pleasure to work with for the sale of our condo and now for purchasing our new home. His marketing tactics really helped with scheduling consistent showings for our condo, ultimately resulting in a 30 day close! Timing was of the essence for this particular sale and he was able to get it done with his timely follow-ups, expertise, and extensive knowledge. Not only did he make the process so smooth, he was also easily accessible and available for any questions we had. He can really do it all - from coming to fix a broken lock box to having a successful close all together. I could not recommend Scott enough for everything he has done for us!”

“Daniel had helped us in the past with the purchase of our first home so it was an easy decision when we decided it was time to move again to use him. He was accommodating, helpful and gave insight when we were looking for a new house in a new area. He listened to our wants and pointed things out we may not have noticed ourselves. This time we used Daniel for the sale of our condo and the purchase of our new home and was attentive, engaged & made both the purchase and sale happen seamlessly. I highly recommend Daniel to anyone selling or buying! With him you will find someone who genuinely wants to help with the difficult process of buying / selling.”

“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!”
