Washington County real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Washington County real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
Year-over-year, Washington County’s housing values have climbed sharply, with the typical home value up 40.63 percent even as statewide values in Illinois rose only 0.67 percent. At $202,500, local homes are priced well below the Illinois typical value of $314,900, highlighting a more affordable entry point despite the strong gains.
In the latest data for March 2026, the median list price sits at $174,900 and has dipped 12.51 percent from the prior month, while typical home values jumped 53.99 percent month over month. Homes are taking longer to sell, with median days on market up 18.18 percent from last month to 169 days and up 275.56 percent over the past year, suggesting buyers may have more time to make decisions.
Market balance still tilts toward sellers, with a Seller’s Market reading and about 3.2 months of supply supported by just 19 active listings and 5 new listings. Roughly 26 percent of listings saw a price drop, only about 17 percent of homes sold above list, and the average sale-to-list ratio is 0.94, showing that negotiation is common. Looking ahead to April 2026, projections call for a typical home value of about $238,000, a projected median list price near $162,400, and inventory nudging up to 20, and both buyers and sellers can use Agent Pronto to connect with an agent who understands these shifting 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.”
