As autumn settles in, Naperville and DuPage County’s housing markets are showing steady strength with subtle seasonal adjustments. Home prices continue to rise in many areas, though listings and closed sales have cooled slightly — signaling a more balanced environment for both buyers and sellers.
DuPage County
The DuPage County market continues to deliver strong values despite a slower sales pace. Prices are holding firm — even as listings tighten and homes spend a bit more time on the market.
Key Highlights:
-
New Listings: 800 homes were listed in September (▼ 3.1% YoY), but +2.1% year-to-date, showing steady seller confidence.
-
Closed Sales: Down slightly by 1.7%, yet overall closings this year are 2.4% higher than 2024.
-
Median Sales Price: Up 9.1% to $513,000, continuing a multi-year trend of appreciation.
-
Average Market Time: 31 days (↑ 14.8%), reflecting a slower but still healthy pace.
-
Inventory: Down 8.6%, underscoring limited supply.
Market Insight:
Higher prices and fewer listings are keeping competition alive in sought-after neighborhoods. Buyers may see fewer bidding wars, but desirable homes still move quickly when priced right.
Naperville
Naperville’s market tells a mixed story this fall — detached single-family homes have slowed, while attached homes (condos and townhomes) continue to shine.
Detached Single-Family Homes

New Listings: +5.6% to 187, giving buyers more fall options.

Under Contract: –28.1%, showing buyer caution amid rising prices.
-
Closed Sales: –18.4%, consistent with seasonal slowing.
-
Median Sales Price: Down 8.1% month-to-month to $645,000, but +3.4% year-to-date — steady long-term growth.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
For Sellers
Even with a slower pace, strong pricing power remains — especially for move-in-ready homes. To stand out, focus on presentation, pricing strategy, and professional marketing to capture early attention.
For Buyers
A modest uptick in listings and slightly longer days on market open the door for more negotiation power. Fall is a smart time to buy before competition returns in the spring.
Looking Ahead
The final stretch of 2025 is shaping up to be steady and resilient for DuPage County and Naperville real estate. Expect continued moderation in activity but firm pricing as low inventory persists.
