INVENTORY NUMBERS OF SELECT TOWNS AS OF April 15, 2026

💡 Weekly Overview

The Illinois MLS inventory has grown to 15,081 active listings this week, an increase from last week’s 14,806 total. That’s 275 new homes added to the market over the past week, giving buyers more options and slightly easing some of the tight competition we’ve seen.

Across our 24-town focus area, we’re tracking 660 total listings, with Elgin leading the way at 107 homes, followed by Schaumburg (79) and St. Charles (72). The tightest markets remain Wayne with just 5 homes, Itasca with 8, and Medinah with zero active inventory.

New construction activity remains strong, particularly in Elgin (24 new builds), St. Charles (19), and Schaumburg (17). For buyers looking for brand new homes, these markets offer the most fresh inventory to choose from.

💡 Weekly Highlights

Elgin continues to dominate our local market with 107 active listings, offering buyers the widest selection in the 24-town area. With 76 detached homes and 24 new construction properties, Elgin provides diverse options for families and investors alike. The town’s strong inventory levels make it an excellent market for buyers who want choice and negotiation leverage.

Schaumburg presents a unique market dynamic with 79 total listings, though notably 61 of those are attached homes—nearly 80% of the inventory. This makes Schaumburg the go-to market for buyers seeking townhomes and condos. For detached home shoppers, Schaumburg is more limited with only 18 options, so those buyers should move quickly when they find the right property.

The new construction pace remains impressive across key markets. Elgin leads with 24 new builds, followed by St. Charles with 19 and Schaumburg with 17. Bartlett’s new construction pace is solid with 20 brand new listings—representing 45% of its total inventory. For buyers who want modern features and builder warranties, these markets offer the best fresh inventory.

Medinah remains sold out with zero active listings, making it the tightest market in our area. Buyers looking in Medinah need to be ready to act fast when properties hit the market, as inventory disappears quickly. Itasca follows with just 8 homes, and Wayne rounds out the bottom with only 5 available properties.
