I live in central Illinois. For the most part the economy wasn’t effect to badly because of the pandemic. We also are not connected to the tech industry in any meaningful way, thus avoiding any effects from the recent economic downturn. Agriculture, healthcare and manufacturing have been doing very well.

Housing prices here have always lagged behind the national average but we are definitely seeing an uptick in values. Nobody is moving because of lack of inventory. Also building new is expensive so it’s not really an option.
