Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Over the past year, Winnetka’s rolling three-month data shows notable price growth, with the typical home value up about 11 percent compared to last year. At the same time, inventory has tightened, as active listings are down more than 18 percent year over year and months of supply has fallen sharply to just over one month, reinforcing strong conditions for sellers.
In the latest rolling three-month period ending in September 2026, buyers are seeing typical home values around $2 million, while the median list price is slightly lower, near $1.88 million. Homes are also selling more quickly than a year ago, with median days on market dropping from 53 days last September to 36 days now, indicating that well-priced properties attract offers in a shorter window.
Seller leverage shows up clearly in contract activity, since 62 percent of recent sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio reached about 106 percent. Even though homes sold and new listings are both down compared with a year earlier, pending sales are up more than 13 percent, signaling solid demand relative to limited supply, and both buyers and sellers can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with an expert Winnetka agent who knows how to navigate this kind of market.

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Steve Goodman and the experience we’ve had working with him over the past 10 years. Steve was my realtor when I purchased my very first condo, and 10 years later, he was right there with us as we sold that condo and purchased what we hope will be our forever home. Having the opportunity to work with the same realtor through such an important chapter of our lives speaks volumes about the trust and confidence we have in him. What sets Steve apart is that he genuinely puts his clients’ best interests first. He is never pushy or focused on simply making a sale. Instead, he takes the time to listen, answer every question, offer honest advice, and make sure you feel comfortable with every decision. He is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile.”

“Katherine Rubis was very patient with me during the year that I was looking for homes. She was always available to discuss our next steps or to show me new listings. Every single part of the process that Katherine handled was very smooth and easy for me. She is an outstanding agent and I will definitely call her when I am in the market to sell or buy a home again. There is nothing else she could have done to make me more satisfied with working with her. I have zero complaints.”
“Our house could be considered high end property in the neighborhood. Cinny worked hard to get it under the contract in a week and sold our house a little over a month. We are happy about the result. During the process, there were ups and downs which made us nervious. Cinny listened to our concerns and gave us professional advice.”

“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.”

“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.”
