Information and statistics on the latest trends in the South Elgin real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Year-over-year, South Elgin homes have seen notable price growth, with the typical home value up 13.02 percent to about $356,000. While Kane County as a whole sits slightly higher at roughly $370,000 and is projected to edge up to $367,500, South Elgin’s values are expected to climb more strongly to about $365,750 by March 2026.
In February 2026, sellers listed homes at a median price of about $379,900, and projections point toward roughly $389,900 next month. Even with that upward pressure, buyers still have around 40 homes to choose from, with inventory up 11.11 percent month over month and expected to tick up to 42, while homes spend a median of 49 days on the market, down over 14 percent from the prior month.
Conditions currently tilt toward sellers, reflected in a 3.3 months’ supply and a market gauge score of 31, yet only about 25 percent of homes are selling above list and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 0.98. Fewer new listings and pending sales compared to last year, with new listings down 36 percent and pending sales off 58.06 percent, mean both sides need to navigate the timing and pricing carefully. For buyers working within tight inventory and for sellers aiming to price correctly in this seller’s market, Agent Pronto can connect you with an experienced local agent to guide every step.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

“Working with Kim was absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, she demonstrated professionalism, market expertise, and genuine care for my family's needs. My home needed several upgrades before listing, and Kim went above and beyond by helping me find reliable contractors and even helping manage the process to ensure everything was done on time and within budget. Thanks to her hard work, guidance, and excellent staging, my home received an offer on the very first day it was shown! Selling and moving can be intimidating, but Kim was like a fairy god-mother: always accessible and full of calming advice. If you’re looking for a realtor who truly goes the extra mile, I highly recommend Kimberly Thurm.”

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!”

The process of finding the perfect home can be overwhelming, but Erick made it seamless. He was always available to schedule viewings at my convenience, and when we found the right place, he worked tirelessly to ensure my offer was competitive and that all the paperwork was handled efficiently. Thanks to Erick, I now own a home that I absolutely love. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and professional real estate agent.”
