Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Waukegan currently leans toward a seller’s market, reflected in a market gauge of 18. Inventory is still relatively limited, with about 3.1 months of supply available in this rolling three-month view. Homes typically spend 51 days on the market, showing that properties are moving at a steady but not frenzied pace.
Prices have been climbing over the past year, with the typical home value up nearly 9 percent year over year. At the same time, the share of homes selling above list has slipped to about 42 percent and the average sale-to-list ratio is just over 100 percent, suggesting buyers have a bit more room to negotiate than before.
Activity has also picked up compared with last year, as homes sold are up about 11 percent year over year and new listings have risen more than 20 percent, giving shoppers more options. Active listings are up nearly 12 percent from a year ago, yet demand remains solid with pending sales still higher than last year. With this mix of rising values, slightly looser bidding, and more inventory coming online, local buyers and sellers both benefit from working with a skilled Waukegan agent, and Agent Pronto can connect them with the right professional to navigate these conditions.
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.

“We weren’t sure how to compare the offers on our house beyond the price. Ryan walked us through the financing, contingencies, and closing dates so we understood the differences. He was patient with our questions and kept us updated as we moved toward closing. We appreciated being able to reach him when something came up.”
“I worked with Eric for the better course of a year to land my first property, and Eric demonstrated extreme patience, flexibility, excellent communication, and great professionalism throughout the whole process. Eric is extremely knowledgeable in his expertise and makes the buyer feel comfortable and confident in their decisions. Eric is extremely approachable and supportive, and I would recommend anyone in the buying market to reach out to Eric with any questions, tours, or any housing-related items.”
“Holly was everything and more I could ask for when I needed someone to help me with the sale of my home. After moving across country, holly orchestrated everything; from pictures to showings, to letting junk removal in, to double checking things for me. She was always a phone call away and incredibly responsive to any inquiries I had (there were a lot). Being states away now from my property, Holly made me feel at ease. And with settling into a new place and a new job, suddenly the sale of my house was on the back of my mind because I knew Holly could take care of everything. Listed with gorgeous pictures right away, four offers in less than a week and a half, and a final offer that was above asking, she did everything I needed and more. Couldn’t recommend a better realtor for your needs.”
“I highly recommend working with Cesar. One of the things I liked best about working with him was that he really seemed to have my best interests at heart. This man will be pulling out his phone light checking basement corners for any signs of mold or water and checking above every stove to see if there’s a proper vent or not. He noticed many things on walk throughs that my parents and I may have just breezed right past and he makes sure to point out the things he notices, good or bad. They say never trust a sales person but idk, I think Cesar’s just in it for the love of the game at this point. I dragged this man to a LOT of houses and he never once rushed me. He was very insistent that we need to find the right fit for me and that I not go past the amount of money I was comfortable with. This was my first time buying a home so I had about 80,000 questions and he was always happy to talk through any questions or concerns. He’s a fun guy to work with as well. In these trying times you need a sense of humor or the home buying process will be miserable. All in all I would definitely recommend working with him.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better agent than Christin Kaufman to help us sell our home. Our transaction turned out to be far more challenging than we ever expected. We were dealing with an extremely demanding buyer and what seemed like an endless stream of questions, concerns, and new requests. Through all of it, Christin was fantastic. She stayed calm, kept us focused on the end goal, helped us separate the important issues from the noise, and guided us through every new twist without letting the process get off track. She was always responsive, patient, and willing to talk through our options. Anyone can look like a great real estate agent when a transaction goes perfectly. You really learn the value of your agent when things get difficult. Christin proved her value to us over and over again and ultimately helped us get across the finish line. We are incredibly grateful for everything she did for us and would recommend Christin without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
“Renee is an incredibly knowledgeable agent that has a lot of experience, cares about her clients, and is trustworthy !! She knows the ins and outs of current real estate markets and how to strategically price a property so that it will sell in a timely manner but with the highest yield!! She has sold two of our properties over the last eight years (one in Illinois and one in Wisconsin) and we received more than we expected on each of the sales!! We cannot recommend her highly enough! Thank you so much, Renee!!”
“Scott has been an absolute pleasure to work with for the sale of our condo and now for purchasing our new home. His marketing tactics really helped with scheduling consistent showings for our condo, ultimately resulting in a 30 day close! Timing was of the essence for this particular sale and he was able to get it done with his timely follow-ups, expertise, and extensive knowledge. Not only did he make the process so smooth, he was also easily accessible and available for any questions we had. He can really do it all - from coming to fix a broken lock box to having a successful close all together. I could not recommend Scott enough for everything he has done for us!”
“We trusted Marek Prus because of his excellent reputation in the real estate business, and he did not disappoint. He did a great job selling our condo, and buying our new townhouse. Marek was diligent, on time and prepared every time. He truly cared about our unique situation. From handling negotiations to resolving last minute hiccups, Marek Prus proved to be an excellent problem solver. Thanks to his vast knowledge and experience, we felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire selling and buying process. We strongly recommend him to anyone! Thank You Marek!”
“I don’t know how she does it, but Marina is truly exceptional at her craft! She helped us close on a house in Mount Prospect, even in the hardest market to buy. I have no words to describe how amazing she is but she doesn’t need them, her work speaks for itself! Thank you always Marina!”
“Working with Steve was an incredible experience from start to finish. I had the utmost confidence that he was always looking out for my best interests. He was knowledgeable, responsive, honest, and patient throughout every step of the process. No question was ever too small, and I always felt informed and supported when making important decisions. His professionalism and dedication made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel smooth and manageable. I truly felt like I had someone in my corner the entire time, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a realtor they can genuinely trust. Thank you for going above and beyond!”
“We are so incredibly grateful to have had Bryce Fuller with The Fuller Force Team help us find our first home! From the very beginning, Bryce made what could have been a stressful and overwhelming process feel so much easier and more exciting. He was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely listened to what we were looking for. He never made us feel pressured and always took the time to answer our questions, explain things, and make sure we felt comfortable with every decision along the way. It was clear from the start that he truly cared about finding the right home for us and not just making a sale. Buying our first home is such a huge milestone for us, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor to experience it with. Bryce went above and beyond throughout the entire process, and we are so thankful for all of his hard work, guidance, and support. We absolutely love our new home and are so excited for this next chapter of our lives. We would recommend Bryce and The Fuller Force Team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. We couldn’t be happier with our experience!”
“I have had the pleasure of working with Andrew and his team on the sale of two homes, as well as the purchase of another. Throughout each transaction, the team was consistently efficient, friendly, and professional. I was kept well informed at every stage of the process, and everything was explained clearly and thoroughly. Any questions I had were addressed promptly, and I always felt that my needs and concerns were given careful attention. I would highly recommend Andrew and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Their professionalism, communication, and commitment to providing excellent service made each experience a very positive one.”
“Working with Anthony was an absolute game-changer for us as first-time home buyers. He knows the local market inside and out, he answered all of our (many) questions at any time of the day, and not only was he very professional and reliable, but we knew throughout the process that he genuinely cared about us and our satisfaction. Now we have our dream home! I'm so glad we had Anthony working with us throughout this process, and we highly recommend him!”
“Kate Doyle is the best Naperville realtor. Honesty, knowledgable, integrity, patience and pure heart kindness with compassion describes Katie Doyle! Katie treated us like family! Katie communicated fast in minutes via text or call. A huge selling point for me. Katie is professional, positive, upbeat, kind, charismatic with a contagious genuine smile. Katie follows up post home sale quickly too while her personal investment is professional meeting all our needs pre and post buying! Katie alleviated my anxiety with a positive interpersonal approach which I so appreciated! My family connected easy and well with open communication! Katie demonstrated always a kind professional approach to buying my home in Naperville as this was my 7th home bought so I was a veteran too. Katie is smart and well deserved! Katie will be selling my other home too! We love you Katie Doyle! Thank you! Barbie C. Erika W. Skylar W.”
