🏡 More homes for sale meant more choices for buyers in July.
According to the July 2026 REMAX National Housing Report, active housing inventory across the 46 metro areas surveyed increased 4.7% compared with July 2025 and 2.8% from June. 📈
For homebuyers, growing inventory can mean more properties to consider and more opportunities to find a home that fits their needs. At the same time, the national median sales price held steady month over month at $450,000, showing that increased inventory did not translate into falling prices nationally.
What does this mean for buyers and sellers in Chicago and the Chicago suburbs? Real estate is local. Conditions in Orland Park, Tinley Park, Frankfort, Homer Glen, Oak Lawn and other Chicagoland communities can look different from national averages.

What does this mean if you’re buying or selling in Chicago or the Chicago suburbs? National trends can help us understand the bigger picture, but real estate conditions can vary significantly from one community to another. Orland Park, Tinley Park, Frankfort, Homer Glen, Oak Lawn and other Chicagoland markets can each tell a different story.

Creating a well-balanced picture wall is an art in itself! Whether you’re going for a gallery-style display or a simple, elegant layout, here are some expert tips to get it just right:

📌 Start with a Focal Point – Choose one large piece or a central frame to anchor your arrangement.
📏 Plan Before You Hang – Lay out your frames on the floor first or use paper templates on the wall to find the perfect layout.
📐 Stick to a Theme – Whether it’s black & white prints, family portraits, or abstract art, a cohesive theme makes your wall look polished.
📊 Balance Shapes & Sizes – Mix different sizes and orientations, but keep things visually balanced to avoid clutter.
🛠️ Maintain Consistent Spacing – Keep frames 2-4 inches apart for a harmonious flow.

Happy arranging!✨
