Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Inventory in Park Forest has thinned compared with last year, with active listings down about 13 percent on a rolling three-month basis even as they have ticked up slightly in recent months. Contract activity has cooled, as pending sales are running nearly 6 percent lower year over year and new listings are down more than 15 percent. Homes are taking a bit longer to go under contract, with the median days on market edging up to 74 days from about 70 a year ago.
Prices have moved higher despite the slower pace, suggesting steady underlying demand. The typical home value over the latest three-month period is up nearly 18 percent from a year earlier, and the median list price is running about 6 percent higher.
Other signals show a mixed, but still seller-leaning, environment. Months of supply is at 6.8, higher than earlier this year but down sharply versus last year’s level in this same rolling window, and the share of homes selling above list has climbed to nearly one-third of all sales. Sellers are still achieving strong results, with an average sale-to-list ratio just over 98 percent and slightly higher than a year ago. With shifting inventory, firmer prices, and longer marketing times, both buyers and sellers in Park Forest can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with an agent who understands these trends.
Learn more about what Park Forest has to offer.
Park Forest offers residents a welcoming, well-rounded community with ample green spaces, convenient amenities, quality schools, and a strong sense of neighborly connection.
Park Forest stands out from nearby south suburban communities by combining mid century design, walkable neighborhoods, and an unusually strong tradition of civic engagement. Planned as a model community, its curving streets, green courtyards, and trail connections still shape daily life and appeal to residents looking for a quieter alternative to busier areas like Chicago Heights or Harvey.
Families value the network of parks and open space, including the Central Park wetlands and trails, along with events at Downtown Park Forest that give the village a small town main street feel. The Park Forest Public Library and Illinois Theatre Center support an active arts and learning scene, while the Park Forest Aqua Center and nearby Thorn Creek Woods Nature Preserve offer outdoor recreation close to home.
Commuters appreciate access to Metra service in Matteson and University Park, plus connections to employment centers in Cook County and Will County. Housing options range from original cooperatives to single family homes, which attracts first time buyers, downsizers, and long term residents.
Whether you are preparing to list a well loved property or hoping to time a purchase before the next school year, having the right local guidance in Park Forest is crucial. Agent Pronto connects you with a real estate professional who understands the community and can help both buyers and sellers move with confidence.

“Katie is very knowledgeable, thorough and kind. She worked very diligently with me to find an apartment/condo to rent! She was able to give me recommendations that I would not have found or considered on my own. I could not have asked for a better agent to work with! I have lived in a house for 30 years and really had no idea what to look for when choosing and apartment or condo. She helped me find the perfect new home, a lovely condo for rent!! Katie stayed on top of everything from setting up appointments to following through with my new landlady. She is intelligent, hardworking sweet and thoughtful. I highly recommend her to anyone renting or buying!!”

“Allison is the BEST!!!!! This is the second time we have used Allison's help to find a home. And we are far from easy to please. Allison is patient and will do everything in her power to find you what you are looking for and not just any house. And she will bend over backwards to drive over a 30 mins away just for you to tell her it's not the one. We love her and will be using her very soon to sell our current home once we move into our new home!!!”

He made everything feel smooth and stress-free, from preparing our home for the market to closing the sale. We always felt like we were in good hands and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. We would highly recommend Giovanni to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”

“Do you want someone who's going to go above and beyond for you? Someone who is warm welcoming and a friendly personality? Then Christina is the one for you. My first time buying a house and she was incredible. I felt I was asking dumb questions and she always assured me that she was there for me and that it wasn't. My boys also absolutely love her. If I ever decide to buy another house for what ever reason, she's my first call. As well as who I recommend to anyone looking for a relator. Christina, if you see this. Thank you for being the incredible person you are!”
@Properties/Christie's International Real Estate
“Rebecca is incredible. When we first bought our house we had to do it from six hundred miles away, and she was able to provide essential local knowledge and walk us through every step of our first home purchase. She cares a lot about educating her clients about the real estate market and teaching them how to evaluate a house. She seems to magically know anything and everything about a property when showing it, even if we were looking at more than half a dozen houses that day (which we did more than once because our visits to the area were so infrequent when we were trying to buy.) When problems arose it was a Godsend to have her on our side to work everything out for us and make sure we got everything we were supposed to and didn't get taken advantage of at any point. She includes many extras that make both the buying and selling experience better. We loved Rebecca so much that when we had to sell that home two years later because our work took us elsewhere, there was no other agent we'd have been willing to work with. We thought we would take a horrendous loss after moving again so soon, but she helped us navigate a quick sale at an excellent price, and once again she was able to help us from a distance when things went wrong—this time from over two thousand miles away, since we had already moved. We would work only with her for the rest of our lives if we could, but since we can't have that we decided not to work with another agent unless he/she'd been vetted by Rebecca for us.”

“Michelle was exceptional throughout the entire home-buying process! She was always on top of the paperwork, deadlines, and everything we needed to get our purchase completed. Her responsiveness, organization, and attention to detail made the process so much smoother. We truly appreciated all her hard work and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home!”

“I highly recommend Jason as a realtor! He was professional, honest, trustworthy, and truly made the process of selling my home feel smooth and stress-free. He was always responsive, knowledgeable, and had my best interests in mind throughout the entire process. I felt confident knowing I was in good hands. Thank you, Jason, for your hard work and professionalism!”

“Working with Bryce was a fantastic experience! He is professional, knowledgeable and went above and beyond at every step of the process. He took the time to truly understand what I was looking for in a new home and he expertly negotiated on my behalf. I would highly recommend Bryce to anyone who is looking for a dedicated real estate agent who has your best interest.”
Elevate - The Real Estate Company
“Selling our condo was a much smoother experience than I expected, and I truly have Larry to thank for that. From the very beginning, he was knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly professional. Night or Day, weekday or weekend Larry answered the phone and communicated actively any information about the process to us. A true professional. He guided us through every step of the process, answered all of my questions, and always made us feel confident in the decisions we were making. What impressed me most was his negotiation skills. Larry advocated for our best interests every step of the way and worked hard to secure the best possible outcome. We always felt like he had our back and never settled for less than what our home was worth. If you’re looking for an agent who is honest, strategic, communicative, and genuinely invested in their clients, we can’t recommend Larry Lazar highly enough. Selling a home can be stressful, but he made the entire process seamless. We would absolutely work with him again and recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.”
