WHEATON, IL —

Remember when everyone said the market was cooling? Well, someone forgot to tell Wheaton. Median single-family home prices just crossed $485,000 in April 2026 — that's a 6.2% jump year-over-year, according to Redfin data. And here's the kicker: inventory is still tighter than a Metra schedule, sitting at just 1.4 months supply with homes flying off the market in an average of 18 days.
