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.
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.
This is not someone's opinion or one of the internet's infamous trivial top 10 lists. This is pure data that shows one of the top 10 least expensive places in America is in Missouri and there's a sad reason why.
The good news is you can get a home for less than $10,000 in Rockord. Unfortunately, you're going to have some cleaning to do before you unpack your boxes.
Actually, you probably want to ask some friends to help you too.
Finally, Rockford has found itself on a good list for once! The Stateline is number six on the new list of the fastest growing housing markets in America.
