Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026).

Inventory in Lake County held steady in June with 71 active listings, matching May but sitting about one quarter lower than a year ago. Contract activity is mixed, as homes sold jumped month over month from 7 to 15 while pending sales stayed flat at 13 and new listings fell sharply compared with last year.

Pricing is adjusting to this cooler pipeline, with the typical home value down more than 20 percent from May yet still up nearly 7 percent year over year. Sellers are listing higher, as the median list price is up more than 50 percent from last June, but the average sale-to-list ratio sits just under 99 percent and only about 14 percent of properties are closing above asking.

Time on market has shortened dramatically, with the median days on market dropping from 153 days in May to 44 days in June, and months of supply tightening from 8.3 to 4, in line with the broader South Dakota level. Conditions overall align with a neutral market, where neither buyers nor sellers hold a clear advantage, so both buyers and sellers in Lake County can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding a local agent who understands these shifting dynamics.

“Michele made me feel very comfortable about asking questions. Her answers were always clear. She made sure I understood all the terms and the reasons for them before I needed to sign any thing. She always explained the options that were available. She was very accommodating when setting up appointments to fit my schedule as well as hers. She treated me like a friend rather than a customer, which was a very secure feeling for me. I enjoyed meeting her and feel blessed to have had her as the representative for the transaction. Thank you Michele.”

“Katelyn supported us through a long journey of finding a property to build our forever home on. Over the course of 8 months, she helped us search and weed through properties from hundreds of miles away. She made her self available on weekends when we flew in multiple time to view properties. Katelyn also went above and beyond to support our closing when we could not be there in person. She is ready going and very ready to get along with. We will recommend Katelyn to friends and faculty in the future! Thank you!”

“I was having trouble finding a house that met my criteria and with having multiple offers rehected or outbid. Mrs. Young fought tooth and claw to finish the job and find me a home in Laramie. She often worked at times that were inconvenient for her, sometimes on weekend family trips and sometimes making short-notice trips all the way out to Laramie for showings. Mrs. Young's hard work and professionalism was a bright spot in an otherwise tough house hunt.”

She made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. Anita was always available to answer questions, explain each step, and make sure we felt confident in every decision. She went above and beyond to make sure everything stayed on track and advocated for us throughout the entire process. We are incredibly grateful for her hard work, patience, and commitment. If you’re looking for a realtor who genuinely cares about their clients and goes the extra mile, we highly recommend her.”

“Working with Paul Hayworth was one of the best decisions I made during the home buying process. From day one, his communication was outstanding. He kept me informed every step of the way, making sure I knew about every update and changes as soon as it happened. Paul went above and beyond to negotiate on my behalf and was able to convince the seller to agree to the deals that were important to me. His knowledge, strategy, and confidence throughout the process were incredible he truly is a mastermind at what he does. He also made sure all of my inspections were scheduled and completed within a week, which helped keep everything moving smoothly and on schedule. His personality made the entire experience enjoyable, and I always felt like I had someone in my corner who genuinely cared about helping me. As a first time homebuyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. Thank you for making my dream become reality!”
