Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Champaign 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).
Champaign County is seeing more listings and faster contract activity this September. Active listings are up about 10 percent from last year, while new listings have risen around 9 percent. At the same time, pending sales have climbed more than 20 percent year over year, showing that buyers are still stepping in when homes come to market.
Prices are adjusting as this activity plays out. The typical home value is up roughly 3 percent from a year ago, but the median list price has jumped more than 17 percent, suggesting sellers are testing higher asking prices. With the average sale-to-list ratio just under 99 percent and only about 21 percent of homes closing above list, buyers appear to have a bit more room to negotiate than earlier in the cycle.
Underlying conditions point to a cooling from the intense pace seen previously. Months of supply has expanded to about 4.6, far above the state’s roughly 3 months and up sharply from a year ago, indicating a better-balanced environment. Homes are taking about 38 days to sell, slightly quicker than last year but slower than the busiest summer months. With homes neither flying off the market nor sitting excessively long, both buyers and sellers in Champaign County can benefit from an Agent Pronto expert who can match them with a local agent to navigate these shifting dynamics.
Champaign County offers residents a welcoming, community‑oriented lifestyle with affordable living, abundant outdoor recreation, strong schools, and a supportive network of local businesses and services that make everyday life fulfilling.
Champaign County offers a distinctly rural yet connected feel compared with nearby metro options like Columbus and Dayton. Wide-open farmland surrounds small communities such as Urbana, Mechanicsburg, and St. Paris, creating a slower pace that still keeps you within reasonable reach of major employers and regional amenities.
Daily life centers on community. The historic downtown Urbana features local dining and events, with venues like Cafe Paradiso and Monument Square District drawing residents together. Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate the Simon Kenton Trail, Kiser Lake State Park, and numerous township parks that provide fishing, biking, and weekend picnics. Families value local schools such as Urbana City Schools and Mechanicsburg Exempted Village Schools, and many residents engage with community programs through the Champaign Family YMCA.
Housing includes historic homes near downtown streets, newer subdivisions, and country properties with acreage. Sellers benefit from buyers who are actively seeking more space and a close-knit setting, while buyers find a range of price points compared with higher-cost neighboring markets.
Whether you are preparing to list a long-time family home or planning a move into the county, timing and preparation matter in this evolving market. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a real estate professional who understands Champaign County’s unique communities and can help you move confidently to your next chapter.

“We recently had the pleasure of working with Matt Wielgos as our realtor, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From the very beginning, Matt stood out with his incredible availability and responsiveness. No matter the hour, he was always quick to respond to our texts and emails, making the entire home buying process smooth and stress-free. Matt's expertise goes far beyond the basics of buying a home. He was exceptionally knowledgeable about the functionality of various home systems and was able to answer our numerous questions with ease. His insights were invaluable, helping us understand not just the immediate details but also the long-term considerations of home ownership. One of the aspects we appreciated most about working with Matt was his honesty and transparency. He didn't hesitate to point out faults and potential issues with properties we were considering, ensuring we had a clear and accurate understanding of what we were getting into and always looking out for our best interests. We never felt pressured; Matt wasn't just trying to get us into a house. It truly felt like he was our partner in finding the perfect home. Thanks to Matt, we felt confident and well-informed throughout the entire process. We are thrilled with our home and grateful for his dedicated support. We will be recommending Matt Wielgos to all our friends and family, and we urge anyone in need of a reliable, knowledgeable, and honest realtor to reach out to him. You won't be disappointed!”
“Kody was excellent to work with. He was always available to answer our questions, aggressively searching for properties to show us, and overall a great agent!”
“Natalie is awesome to work with!! Very knowledgeable, dependable, and follows up on things promptly. The one thing I love about Natalie is she is not a high pressure realtor she allowed us to make our own decisions on things but did give us advice when asked. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to buy or sell!!”
“Jon and Heather, I cannot stress enough how fantastic they are to work with. We purchased a building and Heather was there to guide us every step of the way, her devotion to clients is unparalleled. Thank you guys so much for the work you put in for us!”
“We can’t say enough good things about Carlton, Sarah, and the Shaffer Group! A good friend of ours recommended them after they helped her sell her condo, and we’re so glad we took her advice. We interviewed a few agents before making our decision, and choosing Carlton and Sarah was absolutely the right move. It was Important to us that we had a high degree of confidence and trust in the agents selling my mom's home in Dublin, Ohio, as the prospect of moving and getting the home on the market was stressful for us living out of state. Carlton and Sarah walked us through everything and made recommendations that, honestly, made us a little nervous at first. They suggested new carpet, paint, and a few other larger expenses, and we had to trust that the investment would pay off. Looking back, we couldn’t be happier that we listened to them! They made it super easy and took care of everything even going as far as returning our routers to the cable provider to help us out. Their stager did a breathtaking job; it was beautiful the way they presented the home. Even with the market slowing, we received three offers and sold the house for $50,000 over asking price! We were thrilled, and we truly believe the outcome was a direct result of the time, effort, and attention to detail the entire team put into preparing and marketing the home. What really stood out to us was how well they communicated and how much they genuinely cared. We always felt informed and knew we had people in our corner who wanted the best possible outcome for us. What could have been a stressful experience turned into something we could actually enjoy. We know there are a lot of good real estate agents out there, but Carlton, Sarah, and the Shaffer Group are in a league of their own. We’re incredibly grateful for everything they did for our family, and we’ll gladly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. They truly go above and beyond, and we couldn’t have asked for a better team!”
“Could not have asked for a better agent!”
“Erica was amazing throughout our home buying journey. She was kind, cooperative, and went above and beyond to help us. From beginning to end, she stood by our side, fought for us, and used her excellent network connections to get things done. She also helped us with utilities and services, making the process much easier. We truly appreciate her dedication and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.”
“Annette has been so very helpful with buying a new home. We are moving from out of state and she has helped us with locations by video. This saved us extra trips and time for our decision. Annette has made our home purchase so much smoother than we expected considering we have a time limit! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and sweet agent!”
“Scott is an INCREDIBLE real estate agent! He helped my wife and I navigate a complex sale-contingent purchase in a tough housing market. Ranging from tight closing timelines, contract legal reviews, to complex escrow provisions, Scott puts in the WORK, leverages his deep connections in the industry to make things happen FAST, and doesn't rest until he delivers the best possible outcome for his clients, communicating in real time the whole way. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Scott to anyone I know!”

He was always quick to respond, easy to work with, and made the whole process a lot less stressful. He answered all of our questions honestly and always made us feel like he had our best interests in mind. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. 5 stars and would definitely work with Jace again!”
“Robbie helped my husband and me look for and eventually purchase our first home. Besides purchasing our home, Robbie was truly the best thing about this whole process! He walked us through everything step by step, moved at our pace, and never made us feel judged or pressured. He was so kind, incredibly knowledgeable, and always had our best interests in mind. He asked us so many questions throughout the process to really understand what we were looking for and what was important to us. We always felt like he was listening to us and genuinely cared about finding the right home for us. Buying our first home was such a big and sometimes overwhelming experience, but having Robbie there made everything so much easier. We trusted him completely and never felt like we were just another client. He was patient with us, answered all of our questions, and ultimately helped us find our dream home. We are so thankful for Robbie and everything he did for us. We truly could not recommend him enough!”
“My partner and I bought our first home this July with Ashley's help, and she was incredible at every step of the way! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive anytime we had questions or concerns. She was happy to go over things with us at each stage, which really helped to make the process feel less overwhelming. We also felt very safe and confident as an LGBT+ couple looking for a house with her guidance. I've already recommended her to other friends of ours and will continue to do so!”
“Kay was very low pressure, highly responsive and very helpful through the buying process. She streamlined the process and helped navigate any and all questions with ease.”
“Garrett was extremely helpful, kind, professiional, and knowledgeable. He made the selling process smooth, fast, and easy. He had the house sold in 2 hours! I'd definitely highly recommend him to friends and family. Thank you so much Garrett!”
“As first-time home buyers in the US, we started this process with big hopes but didn't know much about how it worked, and we feel fortunate to have had Adam in our corner. He was very patient with our endless questions at all hours, even on holidays, and took the time to answer them in detail. We genuinely looked forward to the house-hunting trips and the interesting conversations we had with him along the way. When we ran into a rough patch with our original lender and had to switch, Adam helped us navigate the process and gave us the confidence to keep going, ensuring the contract didn't fall through. We're extremely grateful for his help and will be recommending him to all of our friends and family who are looking to buy or sell in Ohio.”
“The best! We have bought and now sold with Antonio and wouldn’t use anyone else in central Ohio!!! Professional, above and beyond, realistic and hardworking are just a few of the adjectives we would use to describe him and his company”
