Lombard – Average detached single-family sale price: $420,000, +5.8% year-over-year
Lombard’s June result reflects steady appreciation in a market that remains accessible relative to several higher-priced DuPage County communities. A 5.8% gain suggests continued value growth without the sharper acceleration seen in some nearby suburbs, making Lombard relevant for both homeowners tracking equity and buyers prioritizing a practical location.

Villa Park continued its gradual upward pricing trend, with detached-home values increasing 5.5% from June 2025. At $385,000, it remains one of the lower price points in this group, which can be important for buyers comparing single-family options across DuPage County.
Glen Ellyn – Average detached single-family sale price: $648,000, +8.9% year-over-year
Glen Ellyn posted a stronger-than-average gain this month, with prices rising nearly 9% year-over-year. The result indicates meaningful value growth in a higher-priced market, where neighborhood location, property condition, and home style can make a major difference in individual sale outcomes.
Wheaton – Average detached single-family sale price: $588,500, +10.5% year-over-year
Wheaton crossed into double-digit appreciation in June, showing one of the region’s strongest detached-home price increases. The 10.5% gain points to a notably stronger pricing environment than last year, particularly for buyers and sellers evaluating homes in established areas of the community.
Elmhurst – Average detached single-family sale price: $690,000, +9.5% year-over-year
Elmhurst remained one of the region’s highest-priced markets, with detached single-family sale prices reaching $690,000. Its 9.5% increase shows substantial year-over-year appreciation and reinforces the importance of accurate pricing for sellers and careful comparable-sale analysis for buyers.
Westmont – Average detached single-family sale price: $461,000, +11.1% year-over-year
Westmont recorded the largest year-over-year increase among the communities in this report. With prices up 11.1%, the market showed meaningful momentum in June, demonstrating that buyers are placing increasing value on detached-home opportunities in this part of the Western Suburbs.
West Chicago – Average detached single-family sale price: $420,000, +3.1% year-over-year
West Chicago’s market continued to move in a positive direction, though at a more measured pace than the rest of the region. The 3.1% increase suggests steady value growth and a market where individual factors such as updates, lot size, location, and pricing strategy may have an especially strong influence on results.
Naperville – Average detached single-family sale price: $700,000, 0.0% year-over-year
Naperville’s detached single-family market was unchanged from June 2025, holding at a $700,000 average sale price. Flat annual movement does not necessarily signal weakness. Instead, it can point to a more balanced environment in which buyers and sellers are paying closer attention to property-specific value.
Downers Grove – Average detached single-family sale price: $575,000, +9.5% year-over-year
Downers Grove matched Elmhurst’s 9.5% annual increase, demonstrating strong upward movement in its detached-home market. The result reflects a stronger value backdrop than a year ago and highlights the need for buyers and sellers to understand how pricing varies by neighborhood, condition, and home type.
What the Numbers Mean for the Western Suburbs – June 2026
The June data paints a positive but highly localized picture. Most tracked communities recorded meaningful annual gains, but the range between a flat result in Naperville and double-digit growth in Westmont and Wheaton shows why broad regional averages do not tell the full story.
For homeowners:
Eight of the nine tracked markets showed year-over-year price growth.
Westmont, Wheaton, Elmhurst, Downers Grove, and Glen Ellyn posted some of the strongest appreciation.
Sellers should focus on neighborhood-level comparable sales rather than relying on regional headlines alone.
For buyers:
Villa Park, Lombard, and West Chicago remain comparatively more approachable price points within this group.
Higher-growth markets may require closer attention to current pricing and property condition.
Naperville’s flat annual result may offer a more balanced setting for buyers comparing options carefully.
Why Buyers Are Targeting the Western Suburbs
The Western Suburbs continue to appeal because they offer a range of price points, housing styles, and community settings within reach of Chicago and major employment areas. Buyers can compare more established downtown-oriented suburbs, higher-priced residential markets, and communities where detached-home ownership may be more attainable.
The region’s appeal is also rooted in practical considerations. Buyers often prioritize access to transit and major roads, proximity to local dining and shopping districts, established residential neighborhoods, parks, and the ability to choose among different home styles and budgets. Those factors help keep the Western Suburbs relevant even as each market responds differently to current conditions.
Summary
The June 2026 Western Suburbs housing market remained broadly positive for detached single-family home values. Westmont led the group with 11.1% annual growth, followed by Wheaton at 10.5%, while Elmhurst and Downers Grove each rose 9.5%. Glen Ellyn also posted a strong 8.9% increase, while Lombard, Villa Park, and West Chicago continued with more moderate appreciation.
Naperville’s prices held steady year-over-year, showing that stable conditions can still exist alongside stronger growth elsewhere in the region. For both buyers and sellers, the June numbers reinforce the importance of looking beyond the overall Western Suburbs trend and understanding the specific market conditions in the community and price range that matter most.
