Home sales in Chicago’s suburbs rose in June as the market remained active despite affordability challenges, Mainstreet REALTORS® said. 

Single-family home sales climbed 4.8% year-over-year, from 3,104 in June 2025 to 3,251 last month. Pending sales, or homes under contract, rose 5.4% from 3,144 to 3,315. 

Prices for detached homes climbed 4.8% to $456,000 from $435,000 a year before. Time on market was 35 days, up four days from last June.  

“The market is very active right now. As buyers accept that higher interest rates and home prices are here to stay, listings are still receiving multiple offers,” Mainstreet President Kinga Korpacz said. “During a recent open house, 40 people came through, and the home sold for $61,000 over asking.”  

Attached home sales rose 1.8% year over year from 1,439 to 1,465, while under-contract activity for attached homes fell 3.7%, from 1,549 to 1,491, the segment’s first year-over-year decline since January. Prices for attached homes increased 2.8%, from $287,000 to $295,000. Days on market increased from 31 to 34 days.   

“We’ve been looking at attached for so long as the affordable market segment, so seeing that sales are up in the detached market is encouraging,” Mainstreet CEO John Gormley said.  

“The attached market isn’t softening; buyers are just being more thoughtful, weighing the full cost of homeowners association fees against what they’d pay for a single-family home,” Korpacz said.  

Some Chicago suburbs saw particularly significant increases in detached home sales, including Lisle (up 109.1%), Keeneyville-Roselle (100%), Western Springs (73.7%), Elk Grove Village (68.8%), Niles (53.3%), Downers Grove (49%) and Darien (45%). 

Despite the decline in pending sales for attached homes, some suburbs still saw significant gains in closed sales, including Wheeling (up 79.2%), St. Charles (66.7%), Streamwood (60.9%), Buffalo Grove (52.6%) and Bloomingdale (50%).
