Housing demand has slowed, but still stable for now
Over the years, I've seen the Naperville market weather plenty of ups and downs, but dedication to my clients means staying ahead of the curve—no matter what the numbers say. As we look at 2026, mortgage rates have remained under 7%, which is helping keep housing demand steady, even if we’re not seeing the rapid growth of some previous years. New listings and inventory are slowly increasing, and I’m noticing a few more price reductions than usual. With yields and risks on the rise, there’s a possibility that rates could tick up, which might lead to modest drops in sales and mortgage applications. My commitment is to guide you through these shifts with honesty and hard work, always focused on making your experience as positive as possible.

Ranked: Housing Costs in Every U.S. State in 2026
After more than two decades helping families find homes, I’ve seen firsthand how much housing costs can vary across the country. In 2026, Hawaii tops the list with a cost index of 302.4—while Oklahoma is most affordable at 66.9. States like Massachusetts, D.C., California, and New York remain on the pricier side, but families looking for more reasonable options often turn to the South and Midwest, where costs are generally lower.

As someone who moved from Chicago to Naperville to give my own family room to grow, I understand how these differences in affordability shape real decisions about where to live. Whether you’re thinking of relocating or just curious about how your state compares, understanding these numbers can make all the difference when planning your next move. My commitment to listening and putting your needs first means I’m always here to guide you through the unique landscape of the real estate market.
