What These Numbers Mean for Zion Buyers and Sellers
The Housing Market Trends module above shows a Zion market where negotiating leverage currently favors sellers, though the picture is more nuanced than any single figure suggests. With 53.3% of homes selling above list price and an average sale-to-list ratio of 101.44%, buyers are frequently competing past the asking number. The 3.1 months of supply confirms a tight environment, since anything under roughly four months typically signals more demand than available inventory can absorb. At present 62 active listings compete against 70 pending sales and 21 monthly closings.
Yet the same data holds signals for buyers. Roughly 21.6% of listings recorded a price cut, and median time on market sits at 57 days, reflecting a +6 days change in market time versus a year ago. That combination means well-priced, move-in-ready homes move quickly (about 47.3% go under contract within two weeks), while overpriced or dated listings sit and become negotiable. Median sale price landed at $287,260, moving +6.4% year over year, with a measured $186.59 per square foot.
For a buyer, the practical takeaway is to move decisively on fresh listings but use accumulated market time and price-drop history as leverage on anything lingering. For a seller, pricing accurately from day one matters, because the market rewards realism and penalizes ambition. With 315 licensed agents operating across zip code 60099, choosing representation that understands these micro-signals is where measurable value is created.

What to Look for in a Zion Realtor
Choosing an agent on name recognition alone overlooks what actually drives outcomes: negotiation results, transaction depth, and consistent client feedback. In a market where 53.3% of homes sell above list and the sale-to-list ratio holds at 101.44%, the ability to structure a competitive offer or defend a price point translates directly into dollars. EffectiveAgents analyzed 251 transactions to rank local performers. The top-ranked team, Jim Starwalt & The Star Home Team at Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Star Homes, has closed 3,918 transactions with 480 reviews and $984.5M in all-time sales volume. That volume matters in zip code 60099, where accurately reading which listings will draw multiple offers versus which will linger (roughly 21.6% recorded price cuts) separates strong outcomes from average ones. Across Zion, 52 agents earned EffectiveAgents rankings out of the broader licensed pool. When comparing candidates, look past a single glowing testimonial and study review patterns over time, since consistency across many closings is a far more reliable indicator than a handful of standout comments.
How We Rank Zion 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 Zion 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.

Zion Real Estate Agent FAQs
Who is the best real estate agent in Zion, IL?
The top-ranked agent in Zion, IL is Jim Starwalt & The Star Home Team at Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Star Homes, with 3,918 career transactions, 480 client reviews, and $984.5M in all-time sales volume. EffectiveAgents identifies leading agents by analyzing 251 local transactions and measuring verified performance data rather than advertising. Of 315 licensed agents in the area, 52 earned rankings. The right fit still depends on your property type, price range, and timeline, so compare several ranked agents before deciding.
How were these Zion 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 Zion?
Our data covers 315 real estate agents serving the Zion area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Zion market data, not simply everyone holding a license.
What does the median sale price in Zion mean for sellers?
Zion's median sale price is $287,260 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 Zion?
Homes in Zion currently take a median of 57 days to sell, reflecting a +6 days change in market time compared with last year. That median hides wide variation: about 47.3% of homes go under contract within two weeks, while listings that are overpriced or need work sit longer, and roughly 21.6% eventually cut their price. Your timeline depends heavily on pricing accuracy, condition, and location within zip code 60099. Well-prepared, realistically priced homes consistently sell faster than the median suggests.
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 Zion 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 Zion 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 Zion 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 Zion realtor before hiring them?
Ask how many homes they have closed in Zion 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.
