I am in the suburbs right outside chicago and prices are getting way up there. I'm a realtor and my husband owns a mortgage company, and we cant believe what some these houses sell for. I have a three bedroom 2 bath fully finished basement with two more rooms(office & toy room). We paid 184K 3years ago with a lot of work needed to it now its worth 280-300.
W e also purchased an income property around the same time for 145K and is now worth about 380K, more for the land value. Its crazy. We fell in love with California and were considering a move there but after seeing the prices of homes decided to stay put lol. |
