Hickory Hills homes were built between 2001 and 2005, with a median year built of 2003 and a median living area of 2,429 square feet — that combination of a consistent build era and larger floor plans is what anchors pricing here. The median sale price sits at $349,900, or about $160 per square foot, and that per-square-foot figure is the one to watch: it tells you how much of the price is the house itself rather than the lot or finish level.
Right now there are zero active listings in Hickory Hills against 11 closings in the most recent window and a median of 30 days on market — a market with essentially nothing available to show a buyer. Prices are down 2.7% year over year even with that scarcity, though they remain up 180% since 2012. For a seller, the lack of competing listings is leverage; for a buyer, it means being ready to move the moment something surfaces.
Hickory Hills right now
🔴 Seller-leaning market. 2.4 months of supply and 50% of the inventory already under contract give sellers the pressure advantage.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of realMLS records, as of October 10, 2026. Confidence: High (6 active and pending listings, 15 closed sales in 12 months).
🟡 Still climbing. The trailing-12-month median ($355K) is up 1.4% from the prior 12 months ($350K) and up 174% since 2012.

The Hickory Hills buying strategy.
If we were buying in Hickory Hills today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Come strong and clean. Homes here move, so lead with your best terms and financing ready rather than a low anchor.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Hickory Hills.
What the numbers say
The price trend is worth sitting with: Hickory Hills is down 2.7% year over year, but still up 180% since 2012. That long arc matters more than the single-year dip for anyone evaluating this as a longer hold rather than a quick flip, and it argues for weighing the per-square-foot figure ($160) alongside the median price rather than the median alone.
Supply is the other half of the story. Zero active listings against 11 closings in the recent window and a median 30-day time on market puts a market heat score of 46 on this community — a moderate reading that reflects steady, not frantic, turnover. With 67.4% of the 242 homes carrying a homestead exemption, most of this inventory simply isn't cycling through the market in a given year.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Hickory Hills. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Momentum Buy Score.
Our proprietary 0 to 10 read across the factors that decide how a home in Hickory Hills buys, holds, and resells. Momentum Research; not an appraisal.
Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect. Composite is the plain average of the 5 factors (8.1). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +174% since 2012; Recent Direction +1.4% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 2.4 months of supply; Owner Commitment 68% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 99.8% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
A community with zero active listings and a 67.4% homestead share doesn't behave like a typical resale market — pricing has to be built from recent closings and per-square-foot comps rather than what's currently on the shelf. We track the 2001-2005 build era's closings as they happen so a buyer is ready to act the moment something surfaces, and so a seller sets a number grounded in the actual $160-per-square-foot trend rather than a guess.
