ACTIVE Property Inventory Count – Attached and Detached Homes
Total available homes in the MLS: 15,504
INVENTORY NUMBERS OF SELECT TOWNS AS OF May 6, 2026
💡 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.

ACTIVE Property Inventory Count – Attached and Detached Homes
Total available homes in the MLS: 15,248
INVENTORY NUMBERS OF SELECT TOWNS AS OF April 29, 2026
💡 Weekly Overview
The Illinois MLS is showing 15,248 active detached and attached homes across the region — a healthy inventory level for mid-April. Of our 24 tracked communities, Elgin continues to lead with 99 active listings, followed by Schaumburg at 79 and St. Charles at 84. On the tighter side, Wayne holds just 5 listings, Winfield has 9, and Itasca sits at 10 — these are the markets where sellers still hold the advantage.
New construction activity remains steady across the northern suburbs. Bartlett leads our watch list with 15 new builds among its 39 listings (38% new construction), followed by St. Charles with 23 new homes. Geneva and South Elgin are also seeing strong builder activity with 11 and 9 new construction listings respectively.
The attached vs. detached split favors detached homes across nearly every market. Bartlett is the exception with 27 attached listings against 12 detached — reflecting the town’s active apartment-style and townhome developments. Buyers looking for single-family detached should focus on Glen Ellyn, West Chicago, and Batavia where detached homes make up the majority of inventory.

💡 Weekly Highlights
Bartlett’s attached home inventory is dominant right now — 27 of 39 listings are attached, with 15 of those being new construction. Buyers looking for brand-new townhomes and condos have excellent options in the $250K-$437K range, with several D.R. Horton builds hitting the market this week.
Elgin remains the inventory king at 99 active listings, but the detached segment is where the action is — 78 detached homes give buyers serious choosing room. Combined with 21 new construction options, Elgin is a buyer-friendly market across both existing and new home categories.
The tightest markets in our watch list are Wayne (5), Winfield (9), and Itasca (10). These communities are seeing quick turnovers — homes priced right are closing in under a week. Sellers in these markets should price aggressively from day one to capture the limited buyer pool.
New construction is pacing well across the northern suburbs. St. Charles leads with 23 new builds, followed by Elgin (21), Schaumburg (15), Bartlett (15), and Geneva (11). Builders are responding to demand with a mix of price points, from the $250K attached segment up to the $700K+ custom market.
The attached vs. detached ratio is shifting in interesting ways. Traditionally detached-heavy markets like Glen Ellyn (28 detached vs 7 attached) and West Chicago (17 detached vs 1 attached) are holding steady, while communities like Schaumburg and Hoffman Estates are seeing strong attached inventory growth — reflecting changing buyer preferences for lower-maintenance living.

💡 Weekly Highlights
Elgin continues to lead our local market with 104 active listings,
offering buyers the widest selection in the 24-town area. With 81
detached homes and 23 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 83 total listings,
though notably 62 of those are attached homes — nearly 75% 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 21 options, so those buyers should move quickly when
they find the right property.
Bartlett’s new construction pace remains solid with 16 brand new
listings — representing 38% of its total inventory. For buyers who
want modern features and builder warranties, Bartlett offers good
options among its 42 total listings (16 detached / 26 attached).
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 7 homes, and Wayne rounds
out the bottom with only 5 available properties.

🏠 The Goddard Report – Weekly Real Estate Market Update – April 15, 2026🏠 The Goddard Report
ACTIVE Property Inventory Count – Attached and Detached Homes
Total available homes in the MLS: 15,081
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.
