Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Woodford County real estate market. *
September 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Woodford County currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge at 40 on a seller’s market scale. Supply is tight at just 1.6 months, well below the Illinois average of 2.9 months. Even with that constraint, 39 homes sold in September and typical homes spent about 35 days on the market.
Prices are showing solid longer-term growth despite a recent dip. The typical home value is about $252,900, up more than 12 percent from a year ago, while the median list price is up over 23 percent year over year. At the same time, the share of homes selling above list has fallen to around 11 percent and the average sale-to-list ratio has edged down to about 96.5 percent, suggesting buyers have gained a bit more negotiating room than earlier in the year.
Activity patterns point to fewer fresh options and softer contract volume heading into fall. New listings are down roughly 24 percent from August and about 7 percent from last year, and pending sales have dropped sharply both month over month and year over year. Inventory is still slightly higher than a year ago, but with off-market-in-two-weeks activity nearly 45 percent, well-priced homes can still move quickly. With conditions shifting beneath the surface of a seller-leaning market, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these trends and how to navigate them.
Woodford County offers residents a welcoming community with strong schools, family-friendly amenities, abundant outdoor recreation, and a steady local economy that supports opportunity and growth.
Woodford County offers a quieter, more close‑knit lifestyle than nearby Peoria and Bloomington, yet it stays closely connected to both. Communities like Eureka, Metamora, and El Paso blend small‑town familiarity with convenient access to major employers, shopping, and healthcare in the larger metro areas.
Eureka is the county seat and home to Eureka College, which brings cultural events, athletics, and lifelong learning opportunities to residents. Families appreciate local school systems such as Metamora Township High School and El Paso–Gridley CUSD 11, along with community resources like the Eureka Public Library District. Daily life often revolves around school activities, youth sports, and long‑standing local businesses where people are greeted by name.
Outdoor recreation is a defining feature of the area. Eureka Lake Park and Black Partridge Park in Metamora offer trails, fishing, and picnic spaces, while the Woodford State Fish and Wildlife Area draws hunters, anglers, and birdwatchers.
For buyers, homes can move quickly, particularly in sought‑after school districts and in-town locations close to parks and amenities. Sellers benefit from strong local appeal but need a pricing and marketing strategy geared to current demand. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with the right Woodford County real estate professional so they can prepare confidently and move at the right time.

“Lisa and Donna have both been wonderful to work with. I bought my 1st home with them and returned to them to recently sell my home. They made both the buying and sell process seamless and easy. They were always readily available to answer questions and went above and beyond to find me a perfect home at the time and to find the perfect buyer when we were ready for a change.”
“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.”
“Selling our condo was a much smoother experience than I expected, and I truly have Larry to thank for that. From the very beginning, he was knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly professional. Night or Day, weekday or weekend Larry answered the phone and communicated actively any information about the process to us. A true professional. He guided us through every step of the process, answered all of my questions, and always made us feel confident in the decisions we were making. What impressed me most was his negotiation skills. Larry advocated for our best interests every step of the way and worked hard to secure the best possible outcome. We always felt like he had our back and never settled for less than what our home was worth. If you’re looking for an agent who is honest, strategic, communicative, and genuinely invested in their clients, we can’t recommend Larry Lazar highly enough. Selling a home can be stressful, but he made the entire process seamless. We would absolutely work with him again and recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.”
“We have used Corey for all our buying and selling needs over the past 5-6 years. He is great to work with! He is very responsive, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. His knowledge and dedication are why we always choose to have Corey help us when it comes to buying or selling, and we always feel supported every step of the way. Highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home!”
“brittany did a amazing job with helping me find the perfect place to call home. she was very patient with me she knew exactly what i wanted she did exactly what i needed her to do. she also appointed me to other resources and other people who helped me not only find a home but to have cleared debt before moving in. thank u brittany”
“We really enjoyed working with Frank. He is very honest and knowledgeable. Not just about Real Estate but also about home construction he worked with us until we found the home we were meant to be in and worked seamlessly in the offer process. We are so thankful to have found him.”
“Amanda was recommended by a family member, wish I would've signed with her first. Did a great job staging my house for showings and her communication with me was excellent! I highly recommend her for anyone looking to list their homes!”
“I am extremely thrilled with how Nicole had helped me through the process. She is knowledgeable and efficient. In the future, I will definitely be working with her again.”
“Becky went way above and beyond our already high expectations since we have a realtor in our family in another state. Becky was initially one of several realtors we interviewed based on inside recommendations from Bloomington Normal area professionals. She truly excelled every step of the way, but probably where she made the biggest difference for us was the experience and confidence that she brought to the table knowing the Bloomington housing market. From day one, she was an excellent communicator and quickly understood our needs/input. Becky was always responsive and we liked working with one individual vs a team. She brought extensive data to our first meeting to back up her recommended list price. Becky also helped us to identify priority minor cosmetic updates on our home prior to listing. She also was able to recommend (and coordinate) several quality reasonable local vendors to help get our minor repairs completed for market ready showing in record time! She also assisted with some last minute basic staging. These “extras” were extremely helpful to us as we live out of state! As a result of Becky’s strategic plan, we received multiple offers on our home and sold significantly above list price. We would highly recommend Becky Bauer to anyone considering the purchase or sale of a home! 11/10”
“I’m thankful we were referred to her. The real estate market is cutthroat and can be a tough world to navigate right now which is why you need a good realtor. Kelly is truly the best of the best. It became very clear to me that she has 27 years of experience. If you’re buying or selling your home, you’d better get with Kelly Rupp.”
“Very happy dealing with Eric and Brad . Super responsive to concerns. Knowledgeable, would recommend them anytime. Made the buying and selling process very easy.”
