Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).
New Chicago’s rolling three-month data through July 2026 shows notable year-over-year changes. Typical home values are up sharply, rising about 22 percent compared with the same period last year, even as median list prices are down roughly 14 percent. Inventory has thinned slightly over the year, with active listings dipping while homes sold also edged down.
In the latest three-month window, buyers are seeing a median list price of about $163,000, while typical home values sit closer to $195,000. Homes are spending a median of 38 days on the market, and roughly 59 percent are going off-market in two weeks, signaling that well-priced properties still move quickly.
Supply conditions continue to lean toward sellers, with just 1.6 months of inventory and a market gauge that classifies New Chicago as a seller’s market. The share of homes selling above list, at about 13 percent, has climbed over the past year even as the average sale-to-list ratio holds near 98 percent, suggesting most sellers are pricing near what buyers ultimately pay. With only 7 new listings and 5 pending sales in the latest period, both sides of the table benefit from having an experienced local guide. Agent Pronto can connect buyers and sellers in New Chicago with a qualified real estate agent who understands these trends and can help them navigate each step.

The community centers around modest single family homes, local shops, and neighborhood schools. Families often connect through local programs at New Chicago Public Safety Department and nearby parks such as Lake George Park in Hobart, popular for walking paths and fishing. For library services, many residents visit the Lake Station New Chicago Branch of the Lake County Public Library, which anchors a range of community events and resources.
Daily conveniences are close by, with additional dining and shopping options in Lake Station and Portage. Families often look to nearby schools such as River Forest High School for academics and athletics, and locals enjoy regional recreation areas like Indiana Dunes National Park for weekend outings along the lakefront.

“Michele Burkheimer was absolutely amazing in helping us find and purchase our dream home! From the very beginning, she listened to what we were looking for, understood what was important to us, and was always there when we needed her. Buying a home can be stressful, but Michele made the entire process feel smooth and manageable. Her knowledge, attention to detail, responsiveness, and genuine care for her clients really set her apart. She worked hard to make sure we understood every step and helped us navigate the process with confidence. We couldn’t be happier with our new home, and we are so thankful that Michele was the one by our side to help us make it happen. If you’re looking for a realtor who truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond, we highly recommend Michele Burkheimer!”

“Moving from one house to another can be stressful. But a state to state move raises the stress to an even higher level. Nichole's personality had a calming effect which was very reassuring and helpful. Even when a major course correction needed to be made mid stream, Nichole adjusted beautifully. I'm so happy to finally be in my home and Nichole was right there be my side every step of the the way!”

“Kristen is even helpful!”
Century 21 Scheetz
“What we appreciated most about Sarah was her honesty. She never sugarcoated the process or told us only what we wanted to hear. Instead, she came prepared, did her research, offered thoughtful guidance, and helped us set realistic expectations from the start. At the same time, Sarah was reassuring, confident, and encouraging throughout the selling process. Listing a longtime home can feel intimidating, but she made us feel comfortable and supported every step of the way. She communicated proactively, answered our calls, responded to our texts, and never overwhelmed us. If you are looking for a straight shooter who combines honest guidance with excellent communication, Sarah is the right person to work with.”
Century 21 Scheetz
“Barketa is fantastic! She walked with us and pointed out things that maybe an issue. She was great at figuring out what met our needs. Barketa is straightforward and honest. We felt super comfortable when working with her. Barketa is a wonderful agent and if we have anything like this again, I would 100% work with her again. I would recommend her to anyone looking in the area”

“We've now worked with Rachel multiple times—she helped us sell a home in the past and recently purchase an investment property—and I truly can't recommend her enough. Rachel is incredibly responsive, works fast, and consistently goes above and beyond for her clients. Real estate transactions can be stressful, but she makes the entire process feel seamless by staying on top of every detail and keeping communication clear every step of the way. What I appreciate most is that she genuinely cares. She advocates for her clients, is proactive instead of reactive, and always makes you feel like you're her top priority. Whether you're buying your first home, selling, or investing in real estate, Rachel is the kind of realtor you want in your corner. We will absolutely continue using her for future transactions.”

“Finding a home/property can be a stressful journey, but having Debra Hull by our side was a game-changer. What truly stood out was how much Debra cared about our family's well-being and finding us the right property. Debra always took the time to listen to our needs (even when we were just having sidebar conversation), addressed every concern with patience, incredibly attentive to the little details we wanted in a home/property and responded to our texts and calls almost instantly, no matter the time. We never felt pressured; instead, she treated us with such care and compassion that it felt like we were working with a trusted friend. If you want a realtor who goes above and beyond, look no further!”
