INVENTORY NUMBERS OF SELECT TOWNS AS OF April 22, 2026

💡 Weekly Overview

The Illinois MLS inventory has grown to 15,170 active listings this
week, up from last week’s 15,081 total. That’s 89 new homes added to
the market over the past week, continuing the spring buying season
momentum with more options for buyers across the suburbs.

Across our 24-town focus area, we’re tracking 675 total listings, with
Elgin leading the way at 104 homes, followed by Schaumburg (83) and
St. Charles/Campton Hills (76). The tightest markets remain Medinah
with zero active inventory, Wayne with just 5 homes, and Itasca with 7
available properties.

New construction activity remains strong across key markets,
particularly Elgin (23 new builds), St. Charles (19), and Schaumburg
(16). For buyers looking for brand new homes, these markets offer the
most fresh inventory to choose from.

💡 Weekly Highlights

Elgin continues to lead our local market with 104 active listings,
offering buyers the widest selection in the 24-town area. With 81
detached homes and 23 new construction properties, Elgin provides
diverse options for families and investors alike. The town’s strong
inventory levels make it an excellent market for buyers who want
choice and negotiation leverage.

Schaumburg presents a unique market dynamic with 83 total listings,
though notably 62 of those are attached homes — nearly 75% of the
inventory. This makes Schaumburg the go-to market for buyers seeking
townhomes and condos. For detached home shoppers, Schaumburg is more
limited with only 21 options, so those buyers should move quickly when
they find the right property.

Bartlett’s new construction pace remains solid with 16 brand new
listings — representing 38% of its total inventory. For buyers who
want modern features and builder warranties, Bartlett offers good
options among its 42 total listings (16 detached / 26 attached).

Medinah remains sold out with zero active listings, making it the
tightest market in our area. Buyers looking in Medinah need to be
ready to act fast when properties hit the market, as inventory
disappears quickly. Itasca follows with just 7 homes, and Wayne rounds
out the bottom with only 5 available properties.
