Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
New Athens home values in the latest rolling three-month period have dipped slightly compared to a year ago, even as listing prices have surged. The typical home value is down year over year, while the median list price has more than doubled, reflecting sellers testing higher price points. At the same time, homes sold are down sharply from last year, showing fewer closed deals despite those higher asking prices.
The supply side has shifted noticeably, with active listings more than tripling year over year and months of supply rising to 11.2, indicating a much deeper pool of available homes. Buyers now have more options than they did a year ago, yet the share of homes selling above list price has climbed to just over half, and the average sale-to-list ratio sits near 103 percent, showing that well-priced homes can still attract strong offers.
Conditions on the ground also look faster-paced in some ways, with median days on market dropping to just over a month compared with much longer marketing times last year. New listings have increased significantly, and pending sales are up year over year, suggesting more buyers are engaging even as inventory grows. With these mixed signals of rising supply, firmer pricing, and fewer overall closings, both buyers and sellers in New Athens can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with an experienced local agent who understands how to navigate this evolving market.

“Originally we were referred by our first lender and we could not have been more fortunate to work with Vicky and Sam. They were professional and realistic regarding our home search. We had not purchased a home in a very long time and Vicky was patient and understanding and was so attentive. avidly referred us to our second lender (the first was not communicative) and it was wonderful. Overall the whole experience was great! Thank you for helping us find our dream home!”
“Laura is Amazing!”
“Working with Tracy to buy our home was a great experience and she was always available and communicative even as we navigated some difficult parts of the negotiation with the seller. She was personally at every visit and even at the inspection and closing, going way above and beyond my expectations and previous experiences with buying agents. Thanks to her we found a home for our family and while we don't plan to buy in the near future I'd be happy to work with her again and again. Thanks Tracy!”
“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!”
“Lisa Buskirk-Inman was absolutely wonderful to work with. She came to our home to make signing the paperwork easy since my husband is having health issues and is not easily able to get around right now. She gave us peace of mind knowing everything was taken care of and explained everything we were signing.”
“Mike was very responsive from start to finish. Our home sale played out exactly how Mike told us it would. We had multiple offers over asking the first weekend. We were moving out of state and a smooth and quick sale is what we were hoping for and Mike made that happen. We would highly recommend Mike to anyone looking to sell their property in the Southwest Suburbs.”
“Barb was 1/20 realtors who was willing to work with me in the beginning over 9 years ago. This is when I first purchased my home. I was cheap buyer. It went without saying I was going to be using her for the sale of the home 9 years later. She handled the hurdles flawlessly and talked me through and coached me the entire way. To say I appreciate her is an understatement. I sold my home after we relocated it of state and she coordinated every logistic of that sale on my behalf to he best of her ability. I recommend her without fail and would point every person in her direction that has a need for a solid realtor.”
“Kathy fought a lot of uphill battles for us and despite hurdles at every turn (with prospective buyer) she pushed on and was able to secure our sale. I can't thank her enough for the amount of work she put in.”
“It was a joy to work with Kathryn she was able to answer every question I had, her knowledge goes a long way and I will definitely recommend her to friends and family.”
“Brittany is an AMAZING realtor and I don't say that lightly. She goes above and beyond to make sure that we are getting everything that we asked for and more. If you are looking for a realtor that goes out of her way to make sure her clients needs are met, you have found your realtor! I could not put into words how happy I am!”
“It was a pleasure to work with Robert, he paid a lot of attention to our expectations and preferences, and he is strong in negotiating.”
“Working with Emir is always a pleasure. He was very helpful in coordinating work on our house for sale, working with vendors and providing valuable feedback on neccesary work vs. potential work items unlikely to generate return. We closed sale of house 3 weeks from time of first listing. I'd worked with Emir before and hope to do so again in the future.”
“Working with Ray was an absolute blessing throughout my home buying journey. He went above and beyond every step of the way, always remaining patient, professional, and supportive through all of the ups and downs that came along the process. No matter the challenge, Ray stayed committed and made sure I felt informed and encouraged the entire time. His dedication, communication, and genuine care truly made a difference, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and hardworking realtor.”
“Heather was very helpful from beginning to end even with the struggles and challenges we gave her.”
“Melissa Young was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable which was critical for me as a first-time home buyer. She helped me win my very first bid with a strong offer and guided me through challenges with the appraisal process. She sets the bar high and I am so happy with my beautiful first home in Chicago!”
“To be honest Ralph was the best part of my team. He's a good person and if it wasn't for him I wouldn't know half of what I know about buying a house Thanks Ralph”
“Great experience! Very attentive, honest, and dedicated. Professional, efficient, and easy to work with. Highly recommended!”
“We relocated from an area where we had lived our entire lives, and the prospect of moving to another state can often be quite challenging. However, our experience with Kimberly was exceptionally smooth and seamless. Her expertise, combined with the thoughtful and tailored feedback she provided based on our specific criteria, proved invaluable throughout the entire process. She conducted herself with the utmost professionalism while also making us feel genuinely supported, as though we were family. We would highly recommend her to any prospective buyers or sellers seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate professional.”
