“Katherine Rubis was very patient with me during the year that I was looking for homes. She was always available to discuss our next steps or to show me new listings. Every single part of the process that Katherine handled was very smooth and easy for me. She is an outstanding agent and I will definitely call her when I am in the market to sell or buy a home again. There is nothing else she could have done to make me more satisfied with working with her. I have zero complaints.”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).
Mettawa currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge indicating a seller’s market. Months of supply sits around 3.2, suggesting inventory is limited but not extremely tight. Active listings have climbed to 10 in this rolling three-month view, giving buyers more options than a year ago.
Prices show a mixed picture when looking year over year. The typical home value over the latest three-month period is down more than 15 percent from last year, while the median list price has nearly doubled over the same time, pointing to a shift toward higher-end homes coming to market. Homes sold are up compared with a year ago, and pending sales are down, hinting that some newer listings may be taking longer to secure buyers.
Pace and negotiation trends add more context for both sides. Homes are taking a median of 61 days to sell, notably longer than many earlier periods in the historical data, while the share selling above list has fallen to about one in five. At the same time, the average sale-to-list ratio sits above 105 percent, showing that well-priced properties can still attract strong offers. With inventory higher than last year but still tilted toward sellers, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands these local dynamics.
Learn more about what Mettawa has to offer.
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.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“Steven was very helpful, knowledgeable, passionate, and most importantly he met all of my needs! I will definitely use him for all of my future home purchases in the near future. Thanks again Steven, he's definitely a ROCK STAR! I can't wait to work with him in the near future. Betty Ng”
“Meldina is an expert in the local market and an exceptional negotiator. Her professionalism, communication, and dedication exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend her!”
“Our house could be considered high end property in the neighborhood. Cinny worked hard to get it under the contract in a week and sold our house a little over a month. We are happy about the result. During the process, there were ups and downs which made us nervious. Cinny listened to our concerns and gave us professional advice.”
“Would use Lizette again, very easy to work with & very professional. Would recommend here 100% to Friends.”
“Renee O'Brien was very understanding, helpful, and kind .... knowledgable in the house situation and problem solving to move the sale along swiftly...”
“Juan helped us immensely in buying our first home and answered every question we had. Would 100% recommend.”
“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.”
“We had to sell a relative's house after her death and we live over an hour away from the property. We used Agent Pronto to interview three different agents because we were unfamiliar with the area. We settled on Scott Paul. He is by far the best realtor we have ever worked with. (We have worked with six other realtors over the years.). He is professional, conscientious, thorough, and hard-working. We highly recommend him.”
“Agent Pronto helped up find a good agent in Larry. He was a pleasure to work with and helped us through a challenging sale.”
“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.”
“I found a great agent! We were able to sell the property within three days after it was listed. It was a pleasure working with Diana Matichyn and her team. I would highly recommend her.”
“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.”
“Linda DeMarco did a great job she’s kind and helpful”
“Easily one of the best realtors, he was extremely friendly didn’t rush us for houses tours. He also showed my family and me plenty of houses on the market for months.”
“The agent, Sarah Leonard, was the most efficient and helpful realtor we've ever had represent us. I highly recommend her team to anyone in the area. Thank you for the excellent referral.”
“Dan made my house search easy and seamless. He was very responsive to calls/texts/emails. He was very knowledgeable and provided great advice. If he didn't know the answer to something he was up front an honest and got back to me in a timely manner with an answer. 10/10 would use him and Re/Max again. Thanks!”
