Hoping for a big drop in home prices? Here’s why experts say that’s not likely.

A nationwide housing shortage means demand is still outpacing supply, keeping prices steady or rising in most areas. Even though inventory has grown this year, the change isn’t enough to tip the scales.

Let’s chat.

Today, I signed an executive order launching a coordinated statewide effort to increase the housing supply and help working families rent and buy homes.

Our primary focus will be reducing the burden of housing costs for Illinoisans.

We will leave no stone unturned in that work.

In housing policy, Affordable Housing is a specific technical term that means “income-restricted, generally subsidized housing reserved for poor people.”

Politicians often exploit people’s ignorance of this fact by claiming they’re for Affordable Housing while blocking inexpensive apartments.
