🏠 Active Property Inventory Count – Attached & Detached Homes
Total available homes in the MLS: 15,733
Inventory numbers of select towns as of: February 4, 2026
🔎 Market Overview
As we move further into February, inventory levels continue to reflect a seasonally restrained but stabilizing market. While some towns are seeing modest increases in attached inventory, detached home supply remains limited in many areas. New construction continues to play an important role in select markets, particularly in larger communities like Elgin, Bartlett, and St. Charles/Campton Hills.
Buyers are finding opportunities, but competition remains strong in towns with lower total inventory. Sellers in well-positioned homes are still benefiting from favorable conditions, especially in communities with limited detached supply.
📍 Active Listings by Town
(Total homes include detached and attached properties. New construction is already included in total counts.)
Elgin continues to lead the region in overall inventory, supported by both strong detached supply and ongoing new construction.
Bartlett, St. Charles/Campton Hills, and Schaumburg remain among the most active markets, offering a wide mix of housing options.
Ultra-low inventory persists in communities like Medinah, Wayne, Winfield, and Itasca, where buyers have very limited choices.
Attached homes continue to provide important affordability options in towns such as Schaumburg, Hanover Park, Streamwood, and Wood Dale.

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.

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.
