Naperville’s real estate market is defying expectations this fall. When we typically see things cool off heading into the holidays, we’re seeing the opposite in 2025: inventory is down, buyer urgency is up, and some homes are even getting multiple offers. So, what’s really going on—and should you take advantage?
Let’s break it down.

Inventory is Down Over 20% Since Summer
One of the biggest shifts? A major drop in homes for sale. Since summer, Naperville housing inventory has declined by over 20%. That means fewer homes on the market competing for attention.
At the same time, showing activity remains strong in popular neighborhoods like Ashbury, Tall Grass, and Downtown Naperville. With fewer listings and serious buyers still active, well-prepared homes are standing out and selling quickly.
Buyer Demand is Holding Steady Despite Higher Rates
Yes, mortgage rates are hovering around 7%. But motivated buyers are still making moves. Why?
- Families are relocating before the end of the year
- Empty nesters are downsizing ahead of winter
- Buyers who paused during the spring are jumping back in with urgency
This is creating an unusual but powerful seller advantage late in the year.
Pricing Power is Real (If You Price It Right)
Naperville’s median home price is holding steady above $625,000. Homes that are priced accurately and staged well are still receiving multiple offers—yes, even in October.
