Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Waukegan currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge pointing to a seller’s market. Months of supply has risen to 3.3, still below what is typically considered balanced. Homes are also moving faster, with the median days on market down to 49 for this rolling three-month period.
Prices have climbed over the past year, with the typical home value up about 7 percent and the median list price rising more than 8 percent year over year. At the same time, supply has loosened a bit, as months of supply is up more than 44 percent compared with a year ago, even though active listings are slightly lower. This mix shows stronger pricing power for sellers, but also a bit more breathing room for buyers than in the past.
Demand is still solid, with nearly 47 percent of homes selling above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio just under 100 percent. Yet rolling three-month sales are down about 9 percent year over year, and pending sales have also slipped, hinting that buyers are becoming more selective. Faster sales, fewer days on market, and fewer closed deals together create a nuanced landscape where the right strategy matters. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an experienced Waukegan agent who understands these trends and can guide them through their next move.
Waukegan offers residents a welcoming lakefront community with parks, cultural events, diverse dining, affordable housing, and easy access to employment and outdoor recreation.
Waukegan offers a distinctive mix of Lake Michigan shoreline, historic downtown streets, and attainable housing that can be hard to find in nearby communities like Chicago or Evanston. Residents enjoy direct Metra access to the city along with a more relaxed, locally rooted feel.
Life here often centers on the waterfront and cultural scene. Families and runners spend time at Waukegan Municipal Beach, while boaters use the Waukegan Harbor and Marina. The historic Genesee Theatre brings touring concerts and comedy to downtown, supporting nearby restaurants and small businesses. Public art and events at ArtWauk give the city an ongoing creative energy.
Parks and schools are central to daily life. Neighborhoods tap into facilities through the Waukegan Park District, and families look closely at options in Waukegan Community Unit School District 60. The Waukegan Public Library serves as a community hub, from early literacy programs to adult education.
For real estate, timing and preparation matter. Inventory can move quickly for well priced single family homes and lakefront adjacent properties, while some areas reward patient buyers who are willing to update. Whether you are selling and want to maximize your position in the current market, or moving in and need guidance on neighborhoods and price trends, Agent Pronto can connect you with a Waukegan agent who is ready to help both buyers and sellers.

“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”
“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 pleasure to work with Robert, he paid a lot of attention to our expectations and preferences, and he is strong in negotiating.”
“Would use Lizette again, very easy to work with & very professional. Would recommend here 100% to Friends.”
“Renee O'Brien was very understanding, helpful, and kind .... knowledgable in the house situation and problem solving to move the sale along swiftly...”
“Juan helped us immensely in buying our first home and answered every question we had. Would 100% recommend.”
“I had an amazing experience working with Erick when purchasing my new home. From the very beginning, he took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and offered valuable insights into the housing market. Erick was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and responsive, answering all my questions and guiding me through every step of the process. 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.”
“We had to sell a relative's house after her death and we live over an hour away from the property. We used Agent Pronto to interview three different agents because we were unfamiliar with the area. We settled on Scott Paul. He is by far the best realtor we have ever worked with. (We have worked with six other realtors over the years.). He is professional, conscientious, thorough, and hard-working. We highly recommend him.”
“Agent Pronto helped up find a good agent in Larry. He was a pleasure to work with and helped us through a challenging sale.”
“Anthony understood us, our personalities and interests. We were able to relate to him in a number of ways and that made us comfortable working with him. He was a compassionate person, and it meant a lot to him to find places that served us, which also meant a lot to us. We gave him some of our requirements for a home, and he would continue to refine his search accordingly. He did not discriminate homes based on their pricing. When we wanted to check out a much more inexpensive house, he worked hard to get us a showing. It seemed like he cared more about finding us a place we would be happy than the amount of his commission. He was willing to do a lot of traveling, and even worked late hours for us. I would never ask someone to work late or early, but he took it upon himself to do so several times, which we highly appreciate. Anthony found us a great inspector, and did a lot of mediation for us that we so desperately needed. He was honest when he wasn't able to help with certain things that were outside of his job description, like advising us financially. However he was able to find an attorney and a lender that we ended up really liking, who also cared about us and were available any time we needed them. Anthony feels like a friend, and we will be sure to hire him if and when we move again.”
“Larry is by far the most AMAZING Realtor. He was always very responsive to my calls, texts, request, etc. We built up such a great relationship through this crazy process, that even after we closed on our new home, he reached out to check on us. He is always looking to get the best deal for his clients. He is like family now to us and will always have his own seat next to the firepit in our backyard. I would DEFINETLY recommend Larry to anyone and everyone looking to buy or sell. AMAZING.. Can't say enough Great things about Larry.”
“Easily one of the best realtors, he was extremely friendly didn’t rush us for houses tours. He also showed my family and me plenty of houses on the market for months.”
“The agent, Sarah Leonard, was the most efficient and helpful realtor we've ever had represent us. I highly recommend her team to anyone in the area. Thank you for the excellent referral.”
“Dan made my house search easy and seamless. He was very responsive to calls/texts/emails. He was very knowledgeable and provided great advice. If he didn't know the answer to something he was up front an honest and got back to me in a timely manner with an answer. 10/10 would use him and Re/Max again. Thanks!”
