Home buyers, You're Not Getting a Deal...

Buyers in our region aren't getting deals; they're getting multiple offers over asking in every county we tracked this month. This month on Listed, Sheila Wade and  Aubra Palermo break down a new federal housing law that just took effect, what it could mean for buyers and sellers in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin, and why the Fed's constant back-and-forth on interest rates might be doing buyers more harm than good, plus a $17.5 billion nuclear investment tied to AI data center growth. Then it's this month's Regional Market Update: Stephenson, Winnebago, and Ogle County numbers show sellers still holding all the leverage, with homes selling for as much as 101% of asking price. And in our Community Guest of the Month segment, faith-based life coach and disability advocate Brittany Green joins Sheila to talk about fear, faith, and what it really takes to start over, at any age. 00:00 Intro 06:00 National Real Estate News: Housing Bill Becomes Law 11:13 Fed Signals Less Guidance on Rate Decisions 14:18 $17.5B Nuclear Investment & AI Data Centers 20:20 Regional Market Update: Stephenson, Winnebago & Ogle Counties 25:36 Community Guest of the Month: Brittany Green 🏡 A new federal housing law — the 21st Century Road to Housing Act — just took effect.
