Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Morgan County real estate market. *
August 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Aug 2026).
Year over year, Morgan County home values have inched up, with the typical home value rising about 3 percent. List prices have climbed more quickly, gaining nearly 8 percent compared with last August. At the same time, the number of homes sold is down nearly 30 percent from a year ago, and active listings are also lower than last year.
In the latest August snapshot, the typical home value sits around $156,000, while the median list price is roughly $172,000, suggesting sellers are aiming higher than recent sale prices. Homes are taking longer to move than a year ago, with median days on market up to 39 days and months of supply at 2.0, keeping conditions tilted toward sellers but less intense than earlier spikes this year.
Buyer activity shows mixed signals, with homes sold dropping sharply from July but pending sales up more than 22 percent from last year, and nearly 60 percent of listings still go off the market within two weeks. Only about 27 percent of homes sell above list now, down from the extremes seen in late spring, and the average sale-to-list ratio hovers just under full asking at 98 percent. Compared with Illinois overall, Morgan County offers much lower typical prices than the state median and slightly tighter inventory with 2.0 months of supply versus 2.9 statewide, and Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these local dynamics.
Morgan County offers residents a welcoming blend of small-town charm, abundant outdoor recreation, rich local culture, and a strong sense of community.
Morgan County offers a distinctly grounded, small‑city lifestyle that feels different from busier nearby areas like Sangamon County or Macoupin County. Centered on Jacksonville, the county blends long‑standing agricultural roots with a strong educational and cultural presence. Institutions such as Illinois College and the Illinois School for the Deaf give the area a year‑round energy that supports local shops, services, and neighborhood stability.
Outdoor recreation is a major draw. Nichols Park anchors community sports and summer activities, while Lake Jacksonville is popular for boating, fishing, and weekend getaways. Smaller communities like Waverly and Murrayville offer quieter streets and more land, yet remain within an easy drive of Jacksonville’s healthcare, shopping, and dining, including local favorites in the historic downtown square.
Families appreciate the mix of public and parochial schools, along with resources like the Jacksonville Public Library and community events that keep residents connected. For commuters, access to Springfield and regional employers keeps options open without sacrificing a close‑knit feel.
In a market where inventory and interest rates can shift quickly, timing and preparation matter. Whether you are planning to list a long‑owned property or hoping to secure the right home before it hits the wider market, Agent Pronto can connect you with a Morgan County real estate agent who understands local trends and can guide both buyers and sellers with confidence.

“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.”

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.

“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.”
