What These Numbers Mean for Round Lake Buyers and Sellers
The Housing Market Trends module above shows a market that leans competitive despite some cooling signals. With a median sale price of $309,795 and a sale-to-list ratio of 101.11%, sellers in Round Lake are still capturing close to their asking prices, and 46.7% of homes closed above list. The share of listings going off the market within two weeks sits at 64.0%, which tells buyers that well-priced homes move quickly and that hesitation carries a real cost.
At the same time, several indicators point to more balance than a year ago. Months of supply measures 2.0, only 17.7% of listings recorded a price reduction, and median days on market registered a -7 days change in market time. For a buyer, the leverage sits with properties that have been listed longer than the 42 median, where a measured offer below asking is defensible. On homes that are freshly listed and priced correctly, competing near or slightly above list remains the realistic path.
For a seller, the data supports pricing to the comparable evidence rather than reaching. With 50 active listings against 26 monthly sales and 69 pending, homes that are priced to the current $171.31 per square foot benchmark tend to attract early attention, while overpriced listings drift toward the 17.7% that eventually cut. Across 478 licensed agents in the area, results vary widely, which is why matching with an agent who reads these specific conditions matters more than name recognition alone.

What to Look for in a Round Lake Realtor
Choosing an agent on name recognition alone overlooks what actually drives outcomes: transaction volume, negotiation results, and consistent client feedback. In Round Lake, EffectiveAgents has ranked 83 agents out of 478 licensed professionals, using verified transaction and review data rather than advertising spend. The top-ranked team, Jim Starwalt & The Star Home Team at Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Star Homes, has closed 3,893 transactions with $976.3M in all-time sales volume. That depth matters in a market where 46.7% of homes sell above list and negotiation over the final few percentage points of the 101.11% sale-to-list ratio directly affects net proceeds. Experienced agents working the 60073 zip code understand how to position a listing against the 42 day median and when a buyer can push on a home that has lingered. Review patterns reinforce the numbers here: 474 reviews on the top team point to sustained performance over time rather than a single strong year, which is the signal buyers and sellers should weigh most heavily.
How We Rank Round Lake 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 Round Lake 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.

Round Lake Real Estate Agent FAQs
Who is the best real estate agent in Round Lake, IL?
The top-ranked agent in Round Lake, IL is Jim Starwalt & The Star Home Team at Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Star Homes, with 3,893 closed transactions and 474 client reviews. EffectiveAgents identifies leading agents through verified performance data, including transaction history, sale-to-list results, and review consistency, rather than self-reported rankings. Of the 478 licensed agents in the area, 83 have earned a ranking under this methodology. The most suitable agent depends on your property type and goals, so we recommend comparing several ranked matches before deciding.
How were these Round Lake 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 Round Lake?
Our data covers 478 real estate agents serving the Round Lake area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Round Lake market data, not simply everyone holding a license.
What does the median sale price in Round Lake mean for sellers?
Round Lake's median sale price is $309,795 as of August 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 Round Lake?
Homes in Round Lake currently take a median of 42 days to sell, though that figure reflects a -7 days change from last year. Your actual timeline depends on pricing accuracy, condition, and season. With 64.0% of homes going under contract within two weeks, correctly priced listings often move faster than the median, while homes priced above the $171.31 per square foot benchmark risk joining the 17.7% of listings that require reductions. Months of supply sits at 2.0, indicating steady but not frantic demand.
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 Round Lake 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 Round Lake 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 Round Lake 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 Round Lake realtor before hiring them?
Ask how many homes they have closed in Round Lake 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.
