Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Montgomery County real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Year-over-year trends in Montgomery County show home values rising solidly, even as the broader Illinois market is relatively flat. Typical home value is up 15.39% from last year to about $132,700, compared with Illinois at roughly $314,900 and a modest 0.67% annual gain.
In March 2026, conditions leaned toward sellers, with a seller's market gauge of 21 and only 3.5 months of supply. Buyers saw a median list price of about $119,900 with 60 homes on the market, while sellers typically waited around 60 days for a sale as homes sold for about 94.5% of list price and roughly 17.65% closed above asking.
Looking ahead to April 2026, typical home values are projected to ease slightly to around $127,800 and inventory to dip to about 54 homes, while the projected median list price holds near $119,850. With 19 new listings in March, a 42.42% drop from last year, and pending sales up 7.41% year over year to 29, both supply and demand are shifting in nuanced ways. Price adjustments are common, with about 26.67% of listings seeing a price drop and days on market up more than 33% from a year ago, so buyers and sellers can both benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended agent to navigate timing, pricing, and negotiation in Montgomery County.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
