“Good luck in Illinois ghost towns.”

Fifty cents on the dollar across the state.

It’ll happen.

I suspect it will take more than that. The purchase price isn’t the hurdle, it’s the carrying cost...taxes.

Especially when property taxes go up to compensate. I built in rural Illinois (Ogle County) and housing values fell 40% overnight. We held out as long as we could, and the values still had not begun to recover six years after. I am confident it never got back to 2007 levels. Property taxes remained the same.

We are renting now, but am willing to buy low when low comes here in Phoenix, where it is NOT Illinois.
