Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Lake Forest real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
In Lake Forest, activity is steady but not busy, with 2 new listings in February and 3 homes going under contract. Fewer new listings than a year ago, down about 33%, and a 25% drop in pending sales signal a slower flow of homes through the market.
Homes are still moving more quickly than before, with the median days on market at 40, about 9% faster than the prior month and 13% faster than a year ago. Roughly 40% of recent sales closed above the list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio of about 0.99 shows buyers are paying close to asking.
Pricing reflects this mixed backdrop, as the typical home value is about $245,000, up 11.36% year over year but edging down almost 3% from last month. List prices are reacting differently, with the median list price around $257,400 in February and projected to reach about $261,150 in March, even as the projected typical home value dips to $241,250. Compared with Fort Wayne overall, where typical values sit near $210,000 and have fallen about 4.55% over the past year, Lake Forest remains higher priced and more resilient. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these trends can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local expert who understands Lake Forest’s numbers and nuances.
