Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Sangamon County real estate market. *
June 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026).
Inventory and contract activity in Sangamon County show a tight but active market. Active listings are relatively steady year over year while homes sold are up more than 11 percent, and pending sales have slipped compared with last June, hinting at a slight cooling in new contract formation even as closings remain strong.
Price trends are responding to that imbalance between demand and new supply. The typical home value is up roughly 19 percent from a year ago and jumped sharply from May, even though the median list price is only slightly higher than last year and has eased month over month.
Speed and competitiveness underline how strongly motivated buyers are. Homes are typically going under contract in just 4 days, months of supply sits at only 1 month compared with about 2.9 months statewide in Illinois, and nearly half of recent sales closed above list price with sale-to-list ratios just over 101 percent, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended agent to navigate negotiation and timing.
Sangamon County offers residents a welcoming, diverse community with strong schools, rich local history, thriving small businesses, plentiful green spaces, and accessible opportunities for work, culture, and recreation.
Sangamon County is centered around the capital city of Springfield and offers a practical mix of urban convenience, small-town neighborhoods, and rural space. Residents benefit from easy access to major routes like I‑55 and I‑72, making regional travel to Chicago, St. Louis, and other Midwest hubs straightforward for work or leisure.
Quality of life here leans on everyday usability. Downtown Springfield features cultural anchors such as the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum and family friendly attractions at the Illinois State Museum. Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate fishing, boating, and trails at Lake Springfield and the extensive green space in Washington Park. Smaller communities like Chatham and Rochester provide quieter streets while staying close to Springfield’s employers and medical centers such as Memorial Health and HSHS St. John’s Hospital.

“Kim made the proper assessment of house value. She arranged house viewing for the prospective buyers and then selectied the most qualified oness to propose the buying offer. All that was done orderly and in a very short time. As a result the house was sold within three days and at a price much exceeding the asking one. I am very thankfull to Kim.”
“Melissa Young is an excellent realtor. I highly recommend her.”
“My family and I were very fortunate to have the support of Brittany during the selling of our condo. She's professional, knowledgeable and personable which minimized the stress of the process for us. I would definitely recommend her services to family and friends! Thank you again Brittany for being apart of this journey with us!!”
“Paula had a very calming, professional presence to her. Paula was on-time, knowledgeable, brought up important points, suggestions and realistic timelines. Home looking is exciting and stressful and a good Agent in my opinion, reels you in a little towards reality. Pumping the brakes. Paula's communication was consistent and accurate and she was there when I needed her. Certainly made the process easier for me and I am happy to have worked with her.”
“We were very pleased. We received an above asking offer after just a few showings. Also the pictures in the listing made me sad I was leaving what was to be our forever home.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Chandra was amazing to work with throughout our home-buying process. She was always responsive, knowledgeable, and patient with all of our questions. She guided us every step of the way and made what could have been a stressful experience feel much easier. We truly appreciated her dedication and support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”
“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.”
