Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026).
Year-over-year, Washington County’s housing market shows notable price growth paired with shifting inventory. Typical home values are up more than 18% from last year and now sit around $189,000, while months of supply has climbed roughly 49%, bringing the market closer to balance even as it still registers as a seller’s market.
In May 2026 specifically, buyers saw a median list price near $183,000 and about 30 active listings, slightly fewer than a year ago. Homes are taking a median of 73 days to sell, yet more than half of properties still go off the market within two weeks, underscoring how the best-priced homes move much faster.
Compared with Illinois overall, Washington County offers lower typical sale prices than the statewide median of about $334,000, but carries the same 2.9 months of supply. Whether you are a buyer trying to navigate rising values or a seller aiming to price strategically in this evolving environment, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands the numbers and the nuances of this market.

“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!”

“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.”

“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.
