Schaumburg (91) and St. Charles/Campton Hills (80) round out the upper tier of inventory, while Bartlett’s 38 listings include 13 new construction homes — over a third of the town’s active supply is brand new, signaling strong builder activity despite seasonal headwinds.

💡 Weekly Highlights

Elgin remains the clear inventory king with 125 active listings — 97 of those detached — giving buyers in the Elgin area serious selection power. Combined with 18 new construction homes, it’s a market where both resale and builder options thrive.

St. Charles/Campton Hills is seeing the strongest new construction activity of any town with 20 new builds out of 80 total listings (25%). Much of that is Campton Hills driving the detached and new-construction numbers. Sellers in established St. Charles neighborhoods are competing with fresh inventory, which keeps pricing in check.

Schaumburg is an attached-home powerhouse — 61 of 91 listings (67%) are attached single, making it the go-to market for condo and townhome buyers. Only 30 detached homes are available, so buyers wanting a standalone house there need to move fast.

Bartlett’s new construction pace continues to impress — 13 of 38 listings (34%) are brand new builds. This is a town where builders are aggressively adding supply, which benefits first-time buyers and anyone wanting modern construction without the renovation headache.

The tightest markets remain Wayne (7 total), Medinah (0 active), and Itasca (10 total). In these communities, sellers still hold the advantage, and well-priced homes are getting attention fast. If you’re thinking of listing in a low-inventory town, midweek is as good a time as any to get ahead of the weekend rush.
