Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Rockford’s rolling three-month data through May 2026 shows home values rising solidly compared with a year ago. The typical home value is up about 11% year over year, with the median list price climbing nearly 9%. Pending sales are also higher than last year, indicating steady buyer interest even as prices trend upward.
In the most recent rolling period, the typical home value sits around $172,000, with the median list price close behind at about $174,000. Inventory has expanded to roughly 730 active listings, yet just 1.3 months of supply keeps conditions tilted toward sellers.
Homes are moving quickly, spending a median of only 13 days on the market in this three-month window, and about 64% are going under contract within two weeks. Nearly half of recent sales closed above the asking price, and the average sale-to-list ratio is just over 100%, underscoring strong demand. At the same time, homes sold slipped slightly year over year while new listings also edged down, hinting at limited fresh options for buyers. With Rockford clearly in a seller’s market, both buyers navigating tight inventory and sellers aiming to price confidently can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting them with a skilled local agent.

“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!”

“Nancy Silwa is an experienced realtor who knows her profession. She knows, and in fact lives in the area, where I was selling my house. This was a bonus as she really had a handle on the market. She walked with me every step of the way so that I understood the process. I was selling a home I had lived in for 43 years. Nancy understood the emotional impact of this decision and gently helped me stay focused on the task at hand: sell the house. She found the perfect buyers. A young couple who will make my house their home. Knowing this made selling my home a little easier. I would and indeed have recommended Nancy to others. She is simply THE BEST!”

Overall, Meghan is a highly-qualified professional and capable individual and someone we will be using in the future if needed. I strongly recommend her services to anyone interested in purchasing a new home or selling an existing home.”

“Layth Witwit exceeded expectations throughout the entire buying process and was incredible through every stage of of selling our home. He was an ally, friend, and advisor and helped us navigate a difficult time to buy a house! We felt like we were constantly “ahead of the curve” in every step of the process, which was entirely due to Layth’s thoroughness and dedication. We always knew Layth had us covered. We cannot imagine a better experience and cannot wait to refer other people moving forward.”

“Larry is by far the most AMAZING Realtor. He was always very responsive to my calls, texts, request, etc. We built up such a great relationship through this crazy process, that even after we closed on our new home, he reached out to check on us. He is always looking to get the best deal for his clients. He is like family now to us and will always have his own seat next to the firepit in our backyard. I would DEFINETLY recommend Larry to anyone and everyone looking to buy or sell. AMAZING.. Can't say enough Great things about Larry.”

“Kathy was able to get my house on the market in a day, and sold in 4! I was on the private and right when I hit the MLS it sold. Very impressed with the quick turn around. Kathy also introduced me to the private network which I was able to find my future home from! This is something not all realtors have been sharing so that was a nice feature that I enjoyed! Kathy made sure this transaction went smoothly and got involved when needed. My sale got pushed back a few days and Kathy sent hours on the phone making sure this deal was going to go through. Very impressed with her hard-work and dedication she provides her clients. She really cares about you and wants you to be happy along the way!”

“Donna helped us find the home that had everything we wanted in the perfect area! She had the offer put in the same day on the house we wanted and walked us through each step and bump in the road. There were some issues with the house after the inspection that she addressed which allowed us to get a credit toward getting it fixed! I would highly recommend Donna to anyone, She is personable, kind, and so genuine. She’s amazing at what she does!! Thank you for helping us get the house of our dreams.”
