The spring market is heating up, and our core local communities – Clarendon Hills, Hinsdale, and Oak Brook – are in the heart of the action. All three communities are experiencing competitive seller’s markets, driven by low inventory and high demand for move-in ready, luxury, and family-friendly homes.
While we do still feel the impact of lower inventory levels than in the past, the market is beginning to open up. More homeowners are making the move to list, and that means fresh opportunities are steadily coming online for buyers who may have been waiting on the sidelines. Inventory is gaining momentum, giving buyers more choices, better chances to find the right fit, and a bit more breathing room to make confident decisions. It’s an encouraging shift—one that signals a healthier, more balanced market ahead.

Local Takeaway
Our local spring market is well on its way and will continue to intensify. Both Clarendon Hills and Hinsdale are high-demand seller’s markets, with properties often receiving multiple offers and selling within the first weekend listed. Particularly in Hinsdale, we are seeing extreme demand for move-in ready, renovated homes. This desire, coupled with demand for top-tier schools (like District 86), means competition is at a strong high. Oak Brook is also seeing a competitive market, with buyers seeking larger lots, higher privacy, and lower property taxes compared to neighboring towns.
If you’re thinking about selling in Hinsdale, Clarendon Hills, Oak Brook or surrounding areas, now is a wise and strategic time to list your home – buyers remain active and eager, and well-priced homes typically don’t stay on the market for much time. Mike McCurry Group is backed by one of the most advanced real estate platforms in the industry, Buyer Demand technology of Compass, that provides a more connected real estate experience. Compass has built this proprietary, end-to-end platform that supports every step of the real estate journey and shows in real-time how many buyers are actively searching for homes just like yours.

MARCH 2026 NATIONAL REPORT
(Market data through February 2026)
While median house sales prices are essentially unchanged year over year, the supply of listings for sale has risen almost 5% during the same time period. The median time on market until acceptance of an offer has risen slightly to 47 days (previously at 42 days), with approximately 14% of sales sold over list price (down from 21%.)
This data tells us that at a national level the market is slowly waking up from its “winter slumber”, and we’re beginning to see more listings come on the scene. While we anticipate that more homes will continue to come on the market, and be seen by ready and eager buyers, there are outside factors we are observing that may have an impact on real estate.
One such factor is the war in Iran. Inflation, interest rates, financial markets, and consumer confidence can all be affected during such uncertain situations. We will continue to closely monitor the impacts and advise both buyers and sellers accordingly based on the trends we observe.
