I know there's data to allegedly prove this, but this doesn't sound right. A brand new study says that if you want to find the cheapest state in America to buy a home, you better be looking in Illinois. Is the Land of Lincoln really the affordability capital of the US?
This Illinois home takes up 8 city lots, and if it sells for the asking price, it will "shatter" the record for the most expensive home ever sold in Chicago.
If you love barns and nice homes, I found a combination in Ursa, Illinois that I think will impress you. It's a stellar "barndominium" home that combines the best of both worlds.
So let's say that the current economic climate has no hold over you, and you're looking to spend some serious money rather than doing everything you can to stretch what you have (like so many of us are doing). You've decided to drop serious cash on a house.
It may not be the most expensive home available in Quincy, Illinois right now, but it's close if that's not the case. It's an epic nearly million dollar estate that also includes a huge barn.
