TODAY’S HOUSING MARKET

This may be your best opportunity market in years. Mortgage interest rates are low and prices in Illinois are holding strong, making housing a solid long-term investment.

Homeownership builds wealth over time. A $10,000 down payment on a typically priced home in the U.S. at a typical home price appreciation of 5 percent will return $110,000 after 10 years. The same $10,000 invested in the stock market appreciating at 10 percent annual increases will result in $23,600. (Source: National Association of REALTORS®)

You have plenty of options. Those looking to buy now have an advantage with a large inventory to choose from.

Financing is available. Conforming loans area abundantly available at historically favorable mortgage rates for those with good credit. Illinois has many first-time buyer programs.

The economy is sound. The Illinois unemployment rate is low and job gains continue.

Prices are right. Those investing in a home and keeping it for a typical holding period of six to ten years will be most likely to see their investment pay off.
