WHY Are Houses GOING UP While Stocks are on a Rollercoaster?

In this episode, we dive into one of the biggest questions on everyone’s mind—why is the housing market still climbing while the stock market can't seem to find its footing? We explore the myths around home buying, like the outdated "20% down" rule, and break down how your home equity could be the key to your next move.

Plus, we share real market data from Joliet, IL, talk about current foreclosure trends, and reveal which home improvement projects boost your property’s value. We’ll also give you a preview of a townhome hitting the market in Crest Hill, IL and explain why skipping a home inspection could cost you big.

Whether you're a homeowner, investor, or first-time buyer, this episode is packed with insights to help you navigate today’s unpredictable market.
