December 2025 Market Trends Report – Dixon IL 61021
📊 December 2025 Market Trends Report
Dixon IL 61021
December brought a seasonal slowdown to the Dixon housing market, which is typical this time of year. Even so, the numbers still provide useful insight into buyer demand, inventory levels, and pricing as we move toward early 2026.
Below is a breakdown of what happened in December 2025 and what these trends mean in practical terms.
⏳Pending Listings 14 ↓
Dixon recorded 14 pending listings in December, compared to 23 pending listings in November. Pending activity slowed as expected during the holiday season, when buyers often pause decisions.
This is generally a timing issue rather than a demand issue.
📋Active Listings 39 ↑
At the end of December, Dixon had 39 active listings available. This provides buyers with options, but inventory levels remain controlled.
Active listings at this level suggest a market that is stable and balanced enough to support ongoing activity.
📈 Months of Inventory 3.55 ↑
Dixon finished December with approximately 3.55 months of inventory. This is closer to a balanced market than neighboring areas, though it still slightly favors sellers.
Markets in this range tend to offer opportunities for both buyers and sellers, depending on pricing and property condition.
💲 Median Sale Price $179,000 ↓
The median sale price in Dixon for December 2025 was $179,000, which indicates the midpoint of the homes sold that month. This suggests that typical home values remain solid despite slower seasonal activity.
The median price helps remove outliers and gives a clearer picture of what most buyers paid.
💰 Average Sale Price $191,338 ↓
The average sale price in December was $191,338. Average prices are more influenced by higher-end sales, and this number reflects the mix of homes that closed during the month.
Together with the median price, this points to stable pricing across much of the Dixon market.
📉 Sold to List Price Ratio 97.90% ↓
Homes in Dixon sold for an average of 97.9% of the list price in December 2025. This indicates that sellers were still capturing a strong portion of their asking price.
Selling this close to list price suggests continued buyer demand, especially for homes that were priced correctly from the start.
📅 Average Days on Market 33 ↑
The average days on market in December was 33, up from 26 in November. Homes did take slightly longer to sell, which is expected during the winter months.
Even with this increase, selling in just over a month is still considered healthy for this market.
📆 Median Days on Market 11 ↓
The median days on market came in at 11 days, compared to 22 days in November. This tells us that many homes still sold quickly, even as a few listings took longer, pushing the average higher.
This is a good example of why median numbers are often helpful.
📉 Interest Rates 6.32% ↓
Interest rates averaged 6.32% in December, slightly lower than 6.34% in November. While the change is small, even modest rate shifts can impact buyer confidence and monthly affordability.
Rates continuing to stabilize is something both buyers and sellers are watching closely.
✅ What This Means for Sellers
With inventory around 3.5 months, Dixon is closer to a balanced market than some nearby towns, but sellers still benefit when homes are priced correctly and show well. The strong 97.9% sold-to-list ratio suggests buyers are still paying close to the asking price for the right properties.
If you’re planning to sell, great photos, smart pricing, and strong first-week marketing are still the winning formula.
🔍 What This Means for Buyers
Buyers may have a little more breathing room here than in tighter markets, thanks to more active inventory and a more balanced supply. That said, the quick 11-day median time on market shows that desirable homes can still move fast.
If you’re buying, being pre-approved and ready to schedule showings quickly can make all the difference.
