Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Inventory and contract activity in Pistakee Highlands have shifted notably in this rolling three-month view. Active listings are flat compared with last year, but homes sold are down sharply year over year and pending sales have also fallen, even as new listings have surged.
Pricing has been moving upward despite the slowdown in closed and pending deals. The typical home value is up solidly from a year ago, while the median list price has inched higher year over year even after a recent pullback.
Time on market and supply levels help explain some of this tension between listings and demand. Homes are selling faster than a year ago, yet months of supply have climbed significantly and a smaller share of properties are closing above list price, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended agent who knows how to navigate this changing environment.
Pistakee Highlands offers residents a welcoming, family-friendly community with convenient amenities, abundant outdoor recreation, and a growing sense of local pride.
Pistakee Highlands sits along the Chain O’Lakes, offering a mix of year-round homes and classic lake cottages with convenient access to McHenry and Fox Lake. Residents enjoy everyday practicality along with waterfront recreation. Many streets are close to public access points for Pistakee Lake, making boating, fishing, and snowmobiling part of regular life rather than a special trip.
Outdoor amenities anchor daily routines. The Chain O’Lakes State Park trail network, nearby Petersen Park Beach, and launches overseen by the Fox Waterway Agency support everything from weekend family outings to serious anglers. Families often look to nearby schools such as McHenry High School District 156 and Johnsburg School District 12, while daily errands are handled in McHenry with its supermarkets, healthcare, and services.
Commuters can connect to Metra’s McHenry Station or head toward Crystal Lake and Cary for additional rail and shopping options. Local dining, marinas, and casual bars around the lake system, including spots highlighted by the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce, give plenty of choices without sacrificing the quiet residential feel.
Because Pistakee Highlands includes varied housing, shoreline regulations, and evolving market conditions, having a real estate agent who truly understands the area helps reduce stress. Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers with local experts who can navigate waterfront nuances, pricing, and timing so your move feels more manageable from first showing to closing.
See why so many people rely on Agent Pronto to make their real estate journey a success.
“We weren’t sure how to compare the offers on our house beyond the price. Ryan walked us through the financing, contingencies, and closing dates so we understood the differences. He was patient with our questions and kept us updated as we moved toward closing. We appreciated being able to reach him when something came up.”
“I worked with Eric for the better course of a year to land my first property, and Eric demonstrated extreme patience, flexibility, excellent communication, and great professionalism throughout the whole process. Eric is extremely knowledgeable in his expertise and makes the buyer feel comfortable and confident in their decisions. Eric is extremely approachable and supportive, and I would recommend anyone in the buying market to reach out to Eric with any questions, tours, or any housing-related items.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better agent than Christin Kaufman to help us sell our home. Our transaction turned out to be far more challenging than we ever expected. We were dealing with an extremely demanding buyer and what seemed like an endless stream of questions, concerns, and new requests. Through all of it, Christin was fantastic. She stayed calm, kept us focused on the end goal, helped us separate the important issues from the noise, and guided us through every new twist without letting the process get off track. She was always responsive, patient, and willing to talk through our options. Anyone can look like a great real estate agent when a transaction goes perfectly. You really learn the value of your agent when things get difficult. Christin proved her value to us over and over again and ultimately helped us get across the finish line. We are incredibly grateful for everything she did for us and would recommend Christin without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
“Renee is an incredibly knowledgeable agent that has a lot of experience, cares about her clients, and is trustworthy !! She knows the ins and outs of current real estate markets and how to strategically price a property so that it will sell in a timely manner but with the highest yield!! She has sold two of our properties over the last eight years (one in Illinois and one in Wisconsin) and we received more than we expected on each of the sales!! We cannot recommend her highly enough! Thank you so much, Renee!!”
“I don’t know how she does it, but Marina is truly exceptional at her craft! She helped us close on a house in Mount Prospect, even in the hardest market to buy. I have no words to describe how amazing she is but she doesn’t need them, her work speaks for itself! Thank you always Marina!”
“Working with Anthony was an absolute game-changer for us as first-time home buyers. He knows the local market inside and out, he answered all of our (many) questions at any time of the day, and not only was he very professional and reliable, but we knew throughout the process that he genuinely cared about us and our satisfaction. Now we have our dream home! I'm so glad we had Anthony working with us throughout this process, and we highly recommend him!”
“Honestly Ariel is an amazing realtor. She was responsive, knowledgeable, and willing to answer all my random questions as a first time homeowner. She clearly explained the process, was patient when looking at a variety of homes over a year, and was a huge help. 10/10 Recommend!”
“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.”
“This is my third time working with Robert, and there’s a reason I continue to come back! He is incredibly knowledgeable, straightforward, and truly advocates for his clients throughout the entire process. He gives excellent, honest feedback when it comes to staging and preparing a home for the market, and his attention to presentation—including fantastic professional photography—really helps a property stand out. He knows how to position a home to sell well and sell quickly. I’ve trusted him through three real estate transactions now and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced, effective realtor who genuinely has their best interests in mind.”
“Graham was absolutely wonderful to work with during our out of state move. He kept everything feeling smooth and stress free, stayed in great communication, and was always quick to answer any questions we had. His friendly attitude and willingness to help made the whole selling process so much easier. We truly appreciated all his support and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor!”
“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.”
“Matt did a fantastic job. He is very knowledgeable about the area, and the processes, and all the little tricks to maximize the odds of a successful home purchase. As a buyer from out of state, I can say Matt made the process much better than it could have been. He sent us walkthrough videos of each property (usually within 1-2 hours of my request). Matt goes above and beyond and we could not have asked for a better real estate agent.”
“Branden was wonderful to work with. He is professional, knowledgeable, patient and friendly. This was our first time using a VA home loan, and he took a lot of time to walk us through the process and make sure we were satisfied with everything. Branden was also very direct and realistic in explaining what to expect from the process, especially when our buyers became rather difficult to deal with. I would recommend Branden to anyone looking for a realtor.”
“Sarah was great with me for my townhouse purchase post divorce. She was always ready to meet me very quickly for the 5 or so places I looked at. I ultimately settled on a smaller more affordable unit and she had a great inspector recommendation for me. I learned a lot about the home buying process through her answers to my questions and I also learned about closing details that were important to address for my satisfaction. When the time comes for me to purchase any other real estate, I'm confident that I will call upon her again. She was absolutely helpful and of great help to me.”
“Would use Lizette again, very easy to work with & very professional. Would recommend here 100% to Friends.”
“Irma Was Absolutely Great From Start To Finish. When we met, She was Transparent about the process , as it was my First Time buying a Property. There was never any Rush. She was Always Patient and wanted what was Best for Me . She Had Great Insight on what to Keep An eye out For on almost every aspect in Home Buying. She Was Great at Negotiation as well , we were able to get 20 thousand + credits at Closing . TALK About a slam dunk. Thank you Irma. Definitely Recommend!”
“Michelle is an outstanding broker. She is personable, knowledgeable, responsive, and provided us with excellent marketing and negotiation. We highly receommend her without reservation.”
“Jack did a great job selling our parents house. He handled everything. The process was easy for us and we got a great price! Jack is highly recommended.”
“Thank you Tina it was a pleasure working with you”
“Working with Dontae was an absolute pleasure. He made the entire home-buying process easy and stress-free, always taking the time to explain things clearly and answer any questions I had. What I appreciated most was that I never felt pressured. His knowledge of the market and genuine care for finding the right home for me really stood out. I’m grateful for his help and would recommend Dontae to anyone looking for a new home.”
