What These Numbers Mean for Deerfield Buyers and Sellers
The Housing Market Trends module above shows Deerfield operating as a measured Seller's Market market, and the competitive indicators clarify exactly where leverage sits. With 1.2 months of supply and only 48 active listings against 104 pending sales, demand still outpaces the standing stock. Yet the picture is more balanced than headline scarcity suggests: 52.2% of homes sold above list, and 15.0% of listings recorded a price reduction, signaling that a meaningful share of sellers reached the market above what buyers would pay. The median sale price sits at $672,663, moving -8.5% year over year, while the median home now takes 38 days to sell.
For buyers, this combination argues for discipline over urgency. When 61.5% of homes leave the market within two weeks, correctly priced properties in zip code 60015 still move quickly, so a competitive first offer matters on fresh listings. But roughly a quarter of listings cutting price means patience pays on anything sitting past the two-week window. For sellers, the 102.28% sale-to-list ratio confirms that accurate pricing, not aspirational pricing, produces the strongest outcomes. Overpricing invites the price-drop cycle that lengthens time on market and erodes final proceeds.
This is a market that rewards local expertise in reading which side of the leverage line a given property falls on. Deerfield has 1,049 licensed agents, but performance varies widely, and the right representation is what turns these aggregate numbers into a specific pricing and negotiation strategy that fits your home and timeline.
What Deerfield Home Prices Mean for You

What to Look for in a Deerfield Realtor
Choosing an agent on name recognition alone overlooks the measured track record that actually predicts results. EffectiveAgents ranks the 51 top performers out of 1,049 licensed agents in Deerfield using verified transaction and review data. The current top-ranked agent, Alan Berlow at Coldwell Banker, has closed 717 transactions with $339.1M in all-time sales volume across the area, including activity in zip code 60015. That depth matters in a market where 52.2% of homes sell above list and 15.0% see reductions: an agent who has negotiated through both scenarios knows when to push for above-list terms and when to advise a strategic price adjustment. With a 102.28% average sale-to-list ratio citywide, the difference between skilled and average negotiation shows up directly in seller proceeds and buyer savings. Review patterns reinforce the data. Alan Berlow's 58 reviews reflect consistency across many transactions rather than a handful of favorable outcomes, which is the signal worth weighting when comparing agents.
How We Rank Deerfield Real Estate Agents
Our rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data, not advertising spend. For every agent we analyze more than fifteen performance signals, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results (how far above or below list price an agent's clients actually close), price-point fit, and verified reviews. The agents shown first are those whose verified results put them at the top of the Deerfield market today.
Agents cannot pay for placement in these rankings. The underlying data refreshes as new closed transactions are reported, so rankings shift with real market performance. Learn how we rank agents.

Deerfield Real Estate Agent FAQs
Who is the best real estate agent in Deerfield, IL?
The top-ranked agent in Deerfield, IL is currently Alan Berlow at Coldwell Banker, with 717 completed transactions, 58 client reviews, and $339.1M in all-time sales volume. EffectiveAgents identifies leading agents by analyzing 293 local transactions and ranking the 51 strongest performers out of 1,049 licensed agents on verified closing data and review history rather than advertising. The best fit still depends on your property type, timeline, and target price, so we recommend comparing several ranked agents before deciding.
How were these Deerfield real estate agents ranked?
Rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data. We analyze more than fifteen performance signals for every agent, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results, price-point fit, and verified reviews. Agents cannot pay for placement.
How many real estate agents are in Deerfield?
Our data covers 1,049 real estate agents serving the Deerfield area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Deerfield market data, not simply everyone holding a license.
What does the median sale price in Deerfield mean for sellers?
Deerfield's median sale price is $672,663 as of July 2026. Half of recent sales closed above that figure and half below. It is a useful baseline for understanding the market, but an experienced local agent will price your home against comparable recent sales in your neighborhood, not the citywide median.
How long does it take to sell a house in Deerfield?
Homes in Deerfield currently take a median of 38 days to sell, reflecting a -2 days change in market time versus a year ago. Speed varies with pricing and condition: with 61.5% of homes going under contract within two weeks, accurately priced and well-presented properties move fastest, while overpriced listings often join the 15.0% that require reductions and sit longer. Location within zip code 60015, seasonality, and current inventory of 48 active homes also influence how quickly a specific property sells.
Does it cost anything to use EffectiveAgents?
No. EffectiveAgents is free for home buyers and sellers, with no obligation to work with any agent we match you with.
Do agents pay to be ranked or featured?
No. Agents cannot pay for placement anywhere in these rankings. Positions are earned from verified transaction performance only.
What commission do Deerfield realtors charge?
Commissions are negotiable and vary by agent, service level, and transaction. There is no set rate, and recent industry changes have made commission structures more flexible than ever. Discuss the structure directly with your agent before signing a listing or buyer agreement.
Should I use a local Deerfield agent or a national brand?
The individual agent matters more than the brand on the sign. Offices within the same national franchise vary widely in performance, and the agent you hire, not the logo, prices your home, negotiates your contract, and manages your closing. A strong local agent brings firsthand knowledge of Deerfield neighborhoods, pricing patterns, and buyer activity. Compare agents on verified local results such as recent sales, days on market, and negotiation outcomes rather than name recognition.
What questions should I ask a Deerfield realtor before hiring them?
Ask how many homes they have closed in Deerfield in the past year, what their average sale-to-list ratio is, and how much of their business is in your neighborhood and price range. Ask how they will market your home or find you listings, and how often they will communicate. Strong agents answer with specifics. Verified transaction data is the fastest way to confirm what you hear.
