Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
In St. Jacob, the latest rolling three-month view shows a small but active market with 6 homes listed and 5 going under contract. Months of supply is down sharply year over year to just 0.6, signaling very tight inventory even as closed sales are up more than 70% from a year ago.
Pricing is adjusting under this pressure, with the typical home value around $268,000 and the median list price down nearly 45% year over year. Even with lower asking prices, buyers are negotiating, as the average sale-to-list ratio has slipped almost 10% compared with last year and only about one in five homes are selling above list.
Time on market illustrates how quickly well-positioned homes can move, with a median of 35 days that is higher than last year but half as long as just a few months ago. With new listings and pending sales both up strongly from a year earlier, conditions are shifting rapidly, and Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands how to navigate this low-supply, value-sensitive environment.

“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!”

“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!”

“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.

“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.”

Keller Williams Platinum Partners
“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.”

“We relocated from an area where we had lived our entire lives, and the prospect of moving to another state can often be quite challenging. However, our experience with Kimberly was exceptionally smooth and seamless. Her expertise, combined with the thoughtful and tailored feedback she provided based on our specific criteria, proved invaluable throughout the entire process. 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.”
