Key Market Metrics: A Snapshot of Directional Changes

Drawing from trusted sources like Redfin, Zillow, Movoto, and local reports, here's a comprehensive look at September 2025 metrics compared to August 2025 (MoM) and September 2024 (YoY). The data points to a stabilizing market with modest cooling in prices and sales volume, while inventory edges up—creating a balanced yet competitive environment.

Metric	September 2025 Value	MoM Change (vs. August 2025)	YoY Change (vs. September 2024)	Directional Insight
Median Sale Price	$588,000	+0.5% (from $585,000)	-4.5% (from $616,000)	Stabilizing MoM after a slight rebound; YoY dip reflects affordability adjustments, but premium areas like ZIP 60564 remain strong.
Average Sale Price	$608,179	-6.0% (from $646,728)	-5.2% (from $641,443)	MoM softening due to entry of more mid-range homes; YoY stability underscores long-term value retention in this high-demand suburb.
Homes Sold	164	-2% (from 167)	-5% (from 173)	Slight seasonal slowdown MoM; YoY decrease linked to higher rates, yet volume outpaces national averages, indicating sustained buyer interest.
Active Inventory	154 listings	+5% (from 147)	+20% (from 128)	MoM growth eases competition; YoY surge provides more options for buyers without oversupplying the market.
Months of Supply	1.9 months	-5% (from 2.0 months)	Stable	Firmly in seller's territory (below 6-month balance); minor MoM contraction maintains upward pressure on values.
Days on Market (Median)	21 days	+16% (from 18 days)	+17% (from 18 days)	Longer linger times MoM and YoY give buyers more leverage for inspections and negotiations.

Sources: Redfin for sale prices and volume, Zillow Home Value Index (ZHVI at $595,756, up 5.3% YoY), Movoto for DOM, Team Bowers for inventory, and Kombrink Team for supply trends. National context from Realtor.com indicates flat prices and rising price cuts, but Naperville's appeal buffers against broader downturns.

What These Trends Mean for Home Buyers in Naperville

The current market direction signals a positive shift toward balance, with stabilizing prices and growing inventory creating entry points for buyers. While home values via Zillow's ZHVI have risen 5.3% YoY, sale prices show a modest YoY decline, suggesting room for negotiation especially in a market where homes are spending longer on the market (up to 21 days). This trajectory is ideal for families seeking value in neighborhoods like White Eagle or Ashbury, where our team has secured deals averaging 2% below asking price this quarter.
