The Savoy housing market remained strong during Spring 2026, with home prices rising significantly, homes selling faster, and sellers receiving essentially their full asking price.
While the larger MLS region also experienced price growth, Savoy outperformed the regional market in several key categories. Strong buyer demand combined with fewer new listings helped create favorable conditions for sellers throughout the spring market.
Here’s a look at how the Savoy real estate market performed in April 2026 compared to April 2025.
Quick Takeaways
- Median home prices increased 14.3% year-over-year.
- Homes sold in an average of 34 days compared to 48 days last year.
- Sellers received 100.1% of their original asking price on average.
- New listings declined nearly 19% from April 2025.
- Savoy outperformed the larger MLS region in both price appreciation and market time.
Savoy Home Prices Continue to Rise
The median sales price in Savoy increased from $350,000 in April 2025 to $399,900 in April 2026, representing a year-over-year increase of approximately 14.3%.
During the same period, the median sales price across the larger MLS region increased from $320,000 to $340,000, a gain of 6.3%.
Not only did Savoy continue to command higher home prices than the regional market, but it also appreciated at more than twice the rate of the MLS region as a whole. This suggests that buyer demand for homes in Savoy remains particularly strong.
Homes Are Selling Faster
The average market time for homes in Savoy decreased from 48 days in April 2025 to just 34 days in April 2026.
The larger MLS region averaged 44 days on market in April 2026, meaning homes in Savoy sold roughly 10 days faster than the regional average.
This improvement is especially notable because Savoy homes are often priced above the regional median, yet buyers continue to act quickly when desirable properties become available.
Sellers Are Receiving Full Asking Price
Another indicator of market strength is the relationship between a home’s original list price and its final sales price.
In April 2026, homes in Savoy sold for an average of 100.1% of their original list price. Across the larger MLS region, homes sold for an average of 99.5% of their original asking price.
While the difference may seem small, it reflects a competitive environment where many Savoy sellers are receiving full-price offers and, in some cases, offers above asking price.
For comparison, Savoy homes sold for 99.9% of original list price during April 2025, showing continued strength year over year.
Fewer New Listings Reach the Market
Savoy recorded 123 new listings in April 2026 compared to 152 new listings during April 2025, a decline of nearly 19%.
Meanwhile, the larger MLS region saw new listings remain relatively stable year over year.
With fewer homes coming onto the market locally and buyer demand remaining strong, inventory constraints continue to support home values throughout Savoy.
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
For sellers, current market conditions remain favorable. Rising home values, faster market times, and strong sale-to-list price ratios continue to create opportunities for homeowners considering a move.
For buyers, preparation remains important. Working with a knowledgeable REALTOR®, understanding financing options, and being ready to act when the right home becomes available can help improve your chances of success in a competitive market.

Final Thoughts
Savoy continues to be one of the strongest-performing housing markets in Champaign County.
Compared to the larger MLS region, Savoy experienced stronger price appreciation, faster market times, and continued strength in list-to-sale price ratios during Spring 2026.
With demand remaining steady and fewer homes coming onto the market, Savoy remains an attractive option for buyers seeking a vibrant community with convenient access to Champaign-Urbana, the University of Illinois, and major employers throughout the region.
