What These Numbers Mean for Montgomery Buyers and Sellers
The Housing Market Trends module above shows a Montgomery market where negotiating leverage sits firmly with sellers. With 2.4 months of supply and just 52 active listings against 28 pending sales, demand is absorbing available homes faster than new inventory replaces them. The clearest signal is the 68.2% share of homes selling above asking price, paired with 53.6% of listings going off the market within two weeks. When that many properties clear quickly and above list, the average sale-to-list ratio of 100.68% tells buyers they have limited room to negotiate below asking on well-positioned homes.
Still, the picture is not uniform. Only 15.4% of listings recorded a price cut, but a median of 48 days on market indicates that overpriced or less competitive homes do sit. For a buyer, the strategy is to move decisively on correctly priced inventory while using the price-drop and days-on-market data to identify listings where a measured offer holds up. For a seller, pricing near recent comparable sales matters more than reaching, because the homes selling above list are typically the ones priced accurately from day one rather than reduced later.
Median price per square foot sits at $198.791, and the median sale price of $437,500 provides the anchor for both sides. With 22 homes sold monthly and 27 new listings entering, the flow is steady but tight. Montgomery has 1,009 licensed agents, and understanding which of them consistently produce results in these conditions is where an informed agent selection becomes valuable.

What to Look for in a Montgomery Realtor
Choosing an agent on name recognition alone overlooks what actually predicts a good outcome: verified transaction history and consistent client results. EffectiveAgents analyzed 209 transactions across Montgomery to rank 58 agents from the broader pool of 1,009 licensed professionals. The top-ranked agent, Jed Parish at @ properties, has closed 917 transactions with $199.1M in all-time sales volume, a track record that matters in a market where 68.2% of homes clear above list price. Negotiation skill is measurable here: with an average sale-to-list ratio of 100.68%, the difference between an agent who prices and positions accurately and one who does not shows up directly in final sale numbers. In neighborhoods like Boulder Hill and across the 60538 zip code, local pricing knowledge helps sellers hit the 53.6% fast-sale window rather than joining the 15.4% of listings that cut price. When reviewing agents, look at review patterns over time rather than a single rating, since 61 reviews accumulated across many transactions signal reliability more than a handful of recent five-star entries.
How We Rank Montgomery 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 Montgomery 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.

Montgomery Real Estate Agent FAQs
Who is the best real estate agent in Montgomery, IL?
The top-ranked agent in Montgomery, IL is Jed Parish at @ properties, with 917 closed transactions, 61 client reviews, and $199.1M in all-time sales volume. EffectiveAgents identifies leading agents by analyzing 209 local transactions and measuring verified performance across 58 ranked agents rather than relying on advertising or name recognition. The right agent depends on your property type and goals, so we recommend comparing several ranked agents on their history with homes similar to yours before deciding.
How were these Montgomery 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 Montgomery?
Our data covers 1,009 real estate agents serving the Montgomery area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Montgomery market data, not simply everyone holding a license.
What does the median sale price in Montgomery mean for sellers?
Montgomery's median sale price is $437,500 as of May 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 Montgomery?
The median home in Montgomery sells in about 48 days, though that figure reflects a +6 days change in market time compared with a year ago. Actual timelines vary widely: 53.6% of listings go under contract within two weeks, while homes that are overpriced or need work can sit much longer. Pricing accuracy at launch is the single biggest factor, followed by condition, location within the 60538 area, and seasonal demand. Working with an agent who prices to recent comparable sales typically shortens the timeline considerably.
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 Montgomery 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 Montgomery 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 Montgomery 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 Montgomery realtor before hiring them?
Ask how many homes they have closed in Montgomery 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.
