What These Numbers Mean for Gurnee Buyers and Sellers
The Housing Market Trends module above shows a Gurnee market that leans toward sellers, though not uniformly. With the median sale price at $427,297 (moving +7.4% year over year) and the average sale-to-list ratio at 100.46%, homes are closing right around asking. The clearest signal of competition is that 45.1% of homes sold above list price and 46.8% went off the market within two weeks, both pointing to real demand for well-priced inventory within the 60031 zip code. At 2.4 months of supply against 80 active listings and 35 monthly sales, the inventory picture favors sellers overall.
That said, leverage is not one-sided. Median days on market now sits at 49, reflecting a +2 days change in market time, and 18.9% of listings recorded a price cut. For buyers, that combination means the sharpest negotiating room is on homes that have lingered past the two-week window or already reduced their price. On fresh, accurately priced listings, expect to compete at or above ask.
For sellers, the data argues for disciplined pricing from day one. Nearly half of homes move quickly, but the elevated share of price drops shows that overpricing leads to stalled listings and eventual concessions. With 90 pending sales and 114 new listings monthly, buyers have choices. Choosing from the 246 licensed agents working Gurnee matters, because strategy around timing and pricing is where results separate.
What Gurnee Home Prices Mean for You
Understanding the true cost of homeownership in Gurnee goes beyond the listing price. These calculators break down what today's market conditions mean for your budget, your timeline, and your negotiating position.

What to Look for in a Gurnee Realtor
Choosing a Gurnee agent on name recognition alone overlooks what actually drives outcomes: transaction depth, negotiation results, and consistency across price points. Of the 246 licensed agents in the area, EffectiveAgents has ranked 91 based on verified performance rather than advertising spend. Scott Paul at RE/MAX Suburban illustrates the pattern, with 1,420 career transactions, $225.4M in all-time sales volume, and 83 client reviews. That volume matters in a market where 45.1% of homes sell above list and 46.8% move within two weeks, because knowing when to push above asking and when to hold firm comes from repetition. Across the 60031 zip code, an experienced agent helps sellers price to avoid joining the 18.9% of listings that cut price, and helps buyers identify the homes where the 49 median market time signals genuine negotiating room. When reviewing agents, look past a single testimonial and study the pattern: consistent review volume over years, repeat clients, and documented outcomes carry more weight than any one five-star note.
How We Rank Gurnee 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 Gurnee 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.

Gurnee Real Estate Agent FAQs
Who is the best real estate agent in Gurnee, IL?
The top-ranked agent in Gurnee, IL by verified performance is Scott Paul at RE/MAX Suburban, with 1,420 transactions, $225.4M in all-time sales volume, and 83 client reviews. EffectiveAgents ranks agents using measured transaction history, closing data, and review patterns rather than paid placement, drawing from 364 annual transactions analyzed locally. The best agent for you depends on your price point and timeline, so compare several ranked professionals from the 91 evaluated in Gurnee before deciding.
How were these Gurnee 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 Gurnee?
Our data covers 246 real estate agents serving the Gurnee area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Gurnee market data, not simply everyone holding a license.
What does the median sale price in Gurnee mean for sellers?
Gurnee's median sale price is $427,297 as of September 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 Gurnee?
Homes in Gurnee currently take a median of 49 to sell, reflecting a +2 days change from last year. Timeline depends heavily on pricing and condition: 46.8% of homes go under contract within two weeks when priced accurately, while 18.9% of listings required a price reduction, which typically extends the process. Location within the 60031 zip code, staging, and seasonality also affect speed. Pricing to the current market from day one is the most reliable way to shorten time on market.
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 Gurnee 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 Gurnee 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 Gurnee 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 Gurnee realtor before hiring them?
Ask how many homes they have closed in Gurnee 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.
