housing

The idea of 'living comfortably' is such a subjective thing. Income that is comfortable for one person might seem like poverty to another. However, there is a national average which is being used to compare Illinois towns and cities to decide which ones are the most comfortable in the state.

As a Missouri homeowner, this is disturbing on a lot of levels. The United States of America is reportedly seeing an alarming rise in underwater mortgages and Missouri is one state among those suffering the most.

When you hear what is allegedly Missouri's most affordable housing market, I would not blame you if your first question is "WHAT?!".

If we're being honest with each other, not many saw this one coming. I am a fan of this underrated Illinois place, but even I was shocked to see it named the hottest housing market in America by major publications.

I did not expect this at all. Despite perceptions about housing challenges in St. Louis, Missouri, the big city suddenly is ranked near the top in one very important housing statistic.

And is still the most expensive place in Minnesota. I can totally see why though. This place has so much to love. See more pictures here.

I find it a bit ironic (and sad) that few states in America have more people that live alone than Illinois. So many people, yet so many that live by themselves and that's a cause for concern.

This is more than a bit unexpected. If you had to find the hottest housing markets in America are, where would you look? Look no further than Illinois that has 2 of the top 30 housing markets in America and neither is near Chicago either.

Some newly released numbers show that Rockford's housing market is not only ahead of the rest of Illinois, but the nation as a whole.
