🏠 The Goddard Report – Mid Week Real Estate Market Update – Post New Years 2026

ACTIVE Property Inventory Count – Attached and Detached Homes

Total available homes in the MLS: 16,744

Inventory numbers of select towns as of: January 7, 2026

📊 Market Overview

As we move deeper into post–New Year activity, inventory across the northwest suburbs remains constrained, but we are beginning to see a gradual return of listings that were paused during the holidays. This early-January window is traditionally a transition period, with sellers re-entering the market and buyers starting to re-engage ahead of the spring season.

Detached homes continue to make up the majority of available inventory, while attached properties remain an important affordability option in several towns. New construction remains limited and is already included within each town’s total inventory count.
