Putnam County real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Putnam County real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
Inventory in Putnam County is relatively lean, with 22 homes for sale and 10 new listings in March 2026, even after a 15.79% month-over-month increase. Contract activity is brisk compared to last year, as pending sales are up 83.33% year over year and roughly match the pace of new listings at 11 for the month.
Prices are adjusting amid this activity, with the typical home value at $178,450, down 15.43% from a year ago and 38.25% from the prior month. At the same time, sellers are still testing higher price points, as the median list price climbed nearly 15% month over month to $192,500 and is projected to edge up to about $205,025 next month.
Time to sell shows a mixed picture, with homes spending a median of 68 days on the market, up more than 11% from last month but still about 10% faster than a year ago. Even with 18% of listings seeing price drops, half of recent sales closed above list and the average sale-to-list ratio is just over 100%, signaling a seller’s market supported by about 5.5 months of supply. Inventory remains well below Illinois’ 28,976 homes for sale, and typical values here trail the state’s $314,900, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding a local agent who understands these dynamics.

“We worked with Kim Wirtz for the sale of our home at 732 Teal Drive, and she was outstanding throughout the entire process. She spent numerous days helping us navigate the sale, handled multiple offers professionally, and gave us excellent advice on how to approach the contracts and negotiations. When one deal fell through, she immediately had great strategies for relisting the property, managing contingencies, and getting the house sold quickly again. She truly went above and beyond what most realtors would do. Kim was extremely responsive, always available to answer questions, and did a fantastic job communicating with buyers, agents, and everyone involved in the transaction. Her knowledge, professionalism, and dedication made a stressful process much easier. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”

She was also extremely responsive at anytime of the day and was always available to answer any questions!!! It was such a relief to have Kathy as my realtor. Truly best in class service!”

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.”
