If you're wondering whether now is a good time to buy or sell a home in Chicago's western suburbs, the latest housing data from the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) provides a clearer picture.
The Midwest housing market slowed down a little in June, but home values continue moving in the right direction.

Here's what happened in June:
Existing home sales were down 3% compared to May.
Even with that monthly slowdown, home sales were still 2.1% higher than June of last year.
The median home price reached $346,600, an increase of 2.7% from one year ago.

What does that actually mean?
Think of the housing market like a busy restaurant.
Some days there are fewer customers than the day before, but the restaurant is still busier than it was last year. That's essentially what's happening with today's housing market.

Fewer homes sold in June than in May, but the market is still healthier than it was a year ago. At the same time, home prices continue to rise because demand remains strong and inventory is still limited in many communities.

What does this mean for Chicago's western suburbs?
Communities throughout Chicago's western suburbs continue to attract buyers because of their excellent schools, convenient transportation, vibrant downtown areas, and strong neighborhoods.

While every town has its own market conditions, many sellers are still receiving solid offers when their homes are priced correctly and presented well. Buyers, on the other hand, may find they have slightly more time to make decisions compared to the fast-paced market we experienced a few years ago.

If you're selling...This is still a favorable market, but pricing your home correctly is more important than ever. Buyers are paying close attention to value, condition, and location. Homes that are priced too high often remain on the market longer, which can discourage future buyers.

If you're buying...Don't let headlines discourage you. A small month-to-month decline in sales doesn't mean the market has crashed. It simply means buyers are becoming more selective. Being pre-approved, understanding your budget, and working with an experienced real estate professional can help you stay competitive.

The Bottom Line

The latest NAR data tells us that the Midwest housing market is finding a healthier balance. Sales have cooled slightly from last month, but home values continue to increase compared to last year.
Whether you're planning to buy this year or simply curious about your home's value, understanding local market trends can help you make smarter decisions.

Real estate is local, and while national headlines grab attention, what matters most is what's happening in your neighborhood.
​
If you have questions about the market in Chicago's western suburbs or would like to know what your home may be worth in today's market, I'm always happy to help.

Due diligence for condo buyers
For aspiring home buyers, a condominium can be an attractive option. Condos are typically more affordable than single-family homes and require less maintenance, and they’re often situated near shops, entertainment and transportation. If you’re considering a condo purchase, here’s a primer that will help you evaluate your options and maximize the enjoyment of your new home.

When I own a condo, what do I own?
Condos are usually individual units within a residential building complex. Unlike a single-family home, which usually includes the lot on which the home is built, a condo typically includes the individual unit and a percentage interest of the land, building, common areas and amenities.

What do I need to know about amenities and assessments?
Most condos offer secure building access—and they may have amenities, such as fitness centers, party rooms, or walking trails. You’ll pay a monthly assessment that covers maintenance of the communal property and amenities. In some properties, assessments also cover select utilities.

How are building decisions made?
Condos are governed by a condo owners association (COA), headed by a volunteer group of unit owners. In many areas, the COA is known as a homeowners association (HOA), and people sometimes use “HOA” as a shortcut to refer to both the association and the monthly assessment.

What are my responsibilities as a condo owner?
The COA makes and enforces a set of rules known as covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs), which are officially recorded and filed with the state. The COA also has a set of bylaws that cover the day-to-day governance and may have other rules and regulations that are updated seasonally or as needed. All unit owners are expected to follow these rules, which are designed to safeguard the community and protect property. They cover such things as noise, pets, parking, renovations, renting, and a lot more.
What due diligence is required when purchasing a condo?
​
Talk to your lender and insurance agent. With condo sales, in addition to qualifying you for the loan, lenders consider other factors, such as the COA finances and the percentage of units in the building that are rented versus owner-occupied. You’ll also need a condo insurance policy.

Request a copy of all governing documents from the COA—including the CC&Rs, bylaws, and rules and regulations—and review them carefully so you know what’s expected of you as an owner. Engage an experienced real estate attorney to review the documents and point out any red flags.

Find out about the COA’s finances and how much it has in reserves. The healthier the reserve fund, the less likely it is that the COA will have to issue a special assessment (an added fee levied on unit owners) to cover major repairs.

Ask about any past or planned special assessments. If special assessments have been levied frequently, it might be a sign of poor management or poor building condition. If you’re considering a purchase in a building where a special assessment is coming up, you may be able to negotiate with the seller to cover all or some of the cost.

Find out about fees and fines for violating the COA’s rules and regulations, and find out how to submit questions, issues and concerns to the COA.

After the purchase:
Keep contact information for COA board members and attend the meetings to stay informed about the governance of your new community. The more you know, the better prepared you’ll be to enjoy ownership of your condominium home.

Your real estate agent will help you navigate the purchase or sale of a home. An attorney can provide guidance on the laws in the state where you’re purchasing. Only real estate professionals who are members of the National Association of REALTORS® may use the term REALTOR®. Under NAR’s Code of Ethics, REALTORS® must work in their client's best interest and treat all parties fairly. Please visit facts.realtor for more information and resources.

Sellers Are Winning in Chicagoland, But Strategy Matters More in 2026

Thinking about selling this year? Here’s what many Chicagoland homeowners are asking right now: “Are buyers still active even with mortgage rates above 6%?” The answer is yes, especially for well-priced homes in desirable neighborhoods across the western suburbs and greater Chicago area.

Illinois home prices were up 4.6% year over year as of March 2026, and Chicagoland detached home sales climbed 7.5% this spring. Inventory is still tight in many local markets, which continues to create opportunity for sellers who prepare and price correctly.

What’s changing:
• Buyers are taking a little longer to decide
• Overpriced homes are seeing price reductions
• Move-in ready homes are still attracting strong attention
• Strategic pricing matters more than it did the last few years

One of the biggest shifts this spring is that buyers now have more choices. That means presentation, marketing, and first-week pricing strategy are becoming the difference between multiple offers and sitting on the market.

For local homeowners in areas near Bellwood, Elmwood Park, Oak Park, Berwyn, Westchester, and surrounding western suburbs, this market still favors prepared sellers, especially homes that photograph well, show cleanly, and are priced based on today’s buyer expectations rather than last year’s headlines.

If you’ve been wondering:
“Should I sell now or wait?”
The real answer depends on your neighborhood inventory, price point, and timing goals, not just national headlines.

Want to know what buyers are currently paying for homes like yours in your area? Message, text or email me for a quick local market breakdown and pricing strategy.
