💡 Weekly Overview

The broader Illinois MLS holds 15,504 active detached and attached listings — a solid inventory level heading into mid-May. Across our 24-town coverage area, we’re tracking 794 active listings, representing a focused slice of northwest suburban demand.

Elgin continues to dominate with 121 active listings, nearly 15% of all inventory in our tracked markets. St. Charles/Campton Hills follows at 84, and Schaumburg holds 82 — together these three form the deepest inventory pools for buyers in the region.

At the other end, Wayne sits at just 5 active listings, Itasca at 10, and Hanover Park at 13 — classic tight-supply markets where sellers still hold leverage.

💡 Weekly Highlights

St. Charles/Campton Hills leads the region in new construction activity with 27 new builds out of 84 total listings — that’s 32% of all inventory brand new. Elgin follows with 19 new construction listings, keeping pace as one of the area’s fastest-growing markets.

Bartlett’s attached-home inventory stands out at 28 of 46 listings (61%). That heavy attached presence, paired with 13 new construction units, makes Bartlett one of the most diverse markets for buyers looking across price points and home types.

Schaumburg’s attached-home dominance is striking — 54 of 82 listings (66%) are attached units, while only 28 are detached. This reflects Schaumburg’s condo and townhome-heavy development pattern and keeps entry-level options plentiful.

Wayne remains the tightest market we track at just 5 active listings, all detached. Itasca at 10 and Hanover Park at 13 are equally thin — these are buyer’s speed bumps where inventory moves fast and pricing stays firm.

Glendale Heights and Hoffman Estates both skew heavily toward attached inventory (16 of 21 and 30 of 53 respectively), offering strong options for first-time buyers or downsizers in the western suburbs.
