 🏡 THE GODDARD REPORT – MID-WEEK REAL ESTATE MARKET UPDATE – December 24, 2025

📊 Active Home Inventory – Attached & Detached Homes

As of December 24, 2025

Total Homes in the MLS: 16,873

📌 Market Overview

Inventory continues to tighten across the northwest suburbs as we move through the holiday week. Detached single-family supply remains especially constrained in many communities, while attached homes continue to make up a growing share of available inventory in several towns.

New construction remains active but concentrated, and is already included within total inventory counts. Buyers should be prepared for limited options in ultra-tight markets, while sellers with well-positioned homes continue to benefit from favorable conditions.
