🏡 The Goddard Report – Weekly Real Estate Market Update – January 28, 2026
Active Property Inventory Count – Attached & Detached Homes
Total available homes in the MLS: 16,270
Inventory numbers as of: January 28, 2026
📊 Market Overview
As we move deeper into the post–New Year period, inventory levels across the western suburbs continue to reflect a familiar seasonal pattern. New listings are coming online slowly, while buyer activity remains selective and price-sensitive. This early-year phase often sets the tone for the spring market, making these weeks especially important for both buyers and sellers watching trends closely.
New construction remains a meaningful component of overall supply in several key towns, but it is already included within the total detached and attached counts shown below.
Inventory remains constrained in many smaller towns, particularly Medinah, Wayne, Warrenville, and Itasca.
Larger markets like Elgin, Schaumburg, and St. Charles/Campton Hills continue to carry the bulk of overall supply.
New construction is still concentrated in a handful of communities and may play a bigger role as spring approaches.
Buyers should expect competition to increase quickly once seasonal listing volume picks up.
🤔 Thinking About a Move?
Whether you’re planning to buy, sell, or just trying to understand what these numbers mean for your neighborhood, local data matters. The right strategy depends on timing, inventory, and how your specific town is behaving—not just headline market stats.
Dave and Candy are amazing. My situation waa a challenge and they were extremely kind, caring and compassionate from start to finish. They really know the market and use all resources. Top notch
Worked with Dave and Candy 3 times over the past ~15yrs, and will continue to in the future. They are very dedicated, pay attention to details, and make themselves available. I'd recommend them over any other agents.
We had the pleasure of working with Dave & Candy Goddard for the second time, and once again they went above and beyond in every area. From start to finish, they made the entire selling process smooth, organized, and stress-free. Their communication was clear, their guidance was spot on, and they were always one step ahead anticipating what was needed.
Dave and Candy truly care about their clients. They provided strong support, smart strategy, and constant follow-up that made a real difference. Every detail was handled professionally, and we always felt confident we were in good hands.
Thank you for helping sell our homes and for making the experience so seamless. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for knowledgeable, dedicated, and supportive agents.
Candy and Dave are the best. They went out of their way to show me homes and educate me on the process of buying a house couldn’t ask for better people
Dave and Candy were outstanding to work with. They were consistently honest, knowledgeable, and transparent throughout the entire process. It was clear they value integrity and client trust above all else. We always felt supported, never pressured, and confident knowing they genuinely cared about our outcome. If you’re looking for agents who truly care about their clients and not just the transaction, Dave and Candy are your people.
Dave and Candy were very knowledgeable, honest, and transparent. The whole process of selling my condo stress free. Would definitely work with them again and recommend them!
ACTIVE Property Inventory Count – Attached and Detached Homes
Total available homes in the MLS: 15,693
INVENTORY NUMBERS OF SELECT TOWNS AS OF May 13, 2026
💡 Weekly Overview
The broader Illinois MLS is showing continued growth with 15,693 active listings across all property types, up 189 listings from last week. This deep pool of inventory gives buyers serious options heading into peak spring season. Across our 24 tracked communities, total inventory sits at 832 active listings — a meaningful cross-section of northwest suburban supply that reflects strong seasonal momentum heading into mid-May.
Elgin leads the pack with 116 active listings, nearly doubling the next closest market, while Schaumburg follows with 86 and St. Charles/Campton Hills holds 84. These three larger markets continue to offer the most selection for buyers, particularly in the detached segment where Elgin alone has 95 detached homes on the market.
On the tighter side, Wayne holds just 8 listings (all detached), Medinah shows no active inventory, and Itasca sits at 10 — making these the most competitive submarkets for buyers right now. New construction remains a significant force across the region, with Bartlett alone showing 13 new builds and St. Charles/Campton Hills adding 27.

💡 Weekly Highlights
Elgin continues to dominate as the deepest market in our coverage area with 116 active listings. Nearly all of Elgin’s supply is detached (95 of 116), making it one of the best markets for buyers seeking single-family homes with room to spread out.
St. Charles/Campton Hills is the new construction capital of the region — 27 of 84 listings (32%) are brand new builds. Combined with Wayne and Medinah showing minimal active inventory, the Fox Valley corridor remains a hotbed for both new development and established neighborhoods competing for buyer attention.
Attached homes carry heavy weight in several markets. Hoffman Estates leads with 33 attached listings (63% of its inventory), and Carol Stream and Schaumburg each show 24 and 56 attached homes respectively. These communities offer strong affordability options for first-time buyers and downsize seekers.
The tightest markets right now are Wayne (8 total), Medinah (0 active), and Itasca (10 total). Buyers looking in these communities face minimal competition from other buyers simply because there’s almost nothing to choose from. Sellers in these markets, however, have an advantage — scarcity drives urgency.
Bartlett’s attached segment is notable: 24 of 40 listings (60%) are attached homes, while its detached segment remains lean at just 16. This split suggests strong builder activity in the attached/townhome space, which could be an opportunity for buyers priced out of the detached market.
