Waukegan real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Waukegan real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
Waukegan is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge at 18 out of 100. Limited supply and steady prices are driving this seller’s market label. Buyers are facing more pressure to act decisively.
Home values are trending upward, with a typical home value of about $253,750 in February 2026, up 15.6% from the prior month and 1.5% year over year. The median list price reached $274,900, rising about 5.75% month over month as demand stayed solid while inventory slipped to 88 homes, down 6.38% since last month and 9.28% from last year. Homes are taking around 61 days to sell, which is faster than the previous month but still about 15.09% slower than a year ago, and roughly 47% of recent sales closed above the asking price with an average sale-to-list ratio just over 1.00.
Looking ahead to March 2026, typical home values are projected near $270,875 and the median list price around $282,375, while inventory is expected to hover close to 85 active listings. Compared with Lake County overall, where typical values sit closer to $370,000 and have slipped about 1.29% year over year, Waukegan offers relatively more accessible prices in a tighter, more seller-friendly environment. Whether you’re planning to buy or sell, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local Waukegan agent who understands these numbers and can guide you through your next move.

Learn more about what Waukegan has to offer.
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.

“Robert was wonderful to work with as we navigated buying our first home. He gave us clear direction, was an incredible advocate for us, and prioritized our best interest. He was also extremely communicative and encouraged our questions and feedback. We would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home!”

“Kathy was a great resource for me during my recent purchase. She answered all my questions and stayed unwavered dealing with a difficult selling agent. While I hope not to move any time soon I'd certainly use her services to do so.”

E-Professionals Realty, LLC
“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.”
Berkshire Hathaway American Heritage
“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.”
RE/MAX Suburban
“Agent Pronto helped up find a good agent in Larry. He was a pleasure to work with and helped us through a challenging sale.”
The Jason Mitchell Group Jason Mitchell Real Estate IL
“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.”
Illinois Real Estate Partners
“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.”
