Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Mettawa currently leans toward sellers, but the rolling three-month data shows some mixed signals. Months of supply has surged to about 13 months, well above typical balanced conditions. At the same time, the market gauge still labels conditions as a seller’s market overall.
Over the latest rolling three-month period ending in September 2026, pricing and inventory trends have shifted noticeably compared with a year earlier. The typical home value is down sharply year over year, while the median list price is up by double digits, suggesting sellers are aiming high but closed sales are not matching those expectations. Active listings are up strongly from a year ago, and new listings have also increased, adding more options for buyers even though only one home sold in this recent window.
Demand indicators highlight how selective buyers have become. Median days on market have climbed to 283 days in the latest period, even though nearly half of homes still go off the market within two weeks. No recent sales closed above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio has slipped to just over 92 percent, pointing to more frequent price negotiations. With these crosscurrents affecting both buyers and sellers, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local Mettawa agent who understands the numbers and can guide your next move.
Mettawa offers residents a serene, nature-rich setting with easy access to outdoor recreation, a welcoming, close-knit community, and thoughtfully maintained amenities.
Mettawa immediately stands apart from nearby communities like Libertyville and Vernon Hills with its rare blend of estate-style living, extensive open space, and quiet, low-density neighborhoods. Large home sites, equestrian properties, and a strong commitment to preserving natural land create a distinctly rural feel that is still convenient to Chicago’s northern suburbs.
Residents value access to miles of trails along the Des Plaines River Trail and restored prairies at Old School Forest Preserve, ideal for walking, biking, and cross-country skiing. The village sits close to shopping and dining in Lincolnshire and Lake Forest, while retaining a quieter pace at home. Commuters appreciate proximity to I‑94 and nearby Metra stations that connect to downtown Chicago.
Families often look at schools in the Oak Grove School District 68 and neighboring high school options, and many buyers are drawn by Mettawa’s emphasis on conservation and privacy. Properties range from custom luxury homes to acreage suited for horses or hobby farms, so having an agent who understands zoning, conservation easements, and local regulations is critical.
Whether you are preparing to sell a unique estate or hoping to time a move to capture the right property in a low-turnover market, advance planning and local insight make a measurable difference. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a Mettawa specialist who understands the community’s character and how to navigate its nuanced real estate landscape.

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“I highly recommend working with Meldina! She is incredibly accommodating and always willing to show the properties, even on the short notice. She is very knowledgeable about the location we are exploring and her positive attitude, amazing energy and solution oriented mindset truly make a difference.Her professionalism and enthusiasm make the entire experience enjoyable. Thank you, Meldina, for you outstanding support and dedication.”
“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.

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!”
“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!”
“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 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!”
“John is one in a million. I've worked with other real estate agents, but none with his depth of knowledge of the Chicago suburbs market. His comp analysis is thorough, and his negotiation experience will land you a great deal. I won't work with another agent again. John is our guy!”

He’s highly experienced and knowledgeable in real estate. I recommend him to anyone trying to sell their home.”
