Eighty-six percent of Illinois Real Estate Professionals Predict Home Values Will Decline in the Coming Six Months; Up Seven Percent From Last Quarter
Last month, HomeGain, one of the first companies to provide free instant home valuations online, released the results of our fourth quarter 2011 nationwide home values survey of over 400 HomeGain current and former members and 2,000 home owners. The survey asked their opinions on home prices and what they thought of President Obama’s performance as President. On this real estate blog we published the 4th quarter 2011 national results as well as the complete 4th quarter 2011 regional results, including commentary from real estate agents and brokers.
Earlier this month we released the California 4th quarter 2011 home values survey data and the Florida 4th quarter 2011 home values survey data, and the 4th quarter 2011 Texas home prices survey data. In the coming days we will be releasing home values survey data from New York, New Jersey, Arizona, North Carolina, Colorado, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and other states.
Today we are publishing the Illinois home prices survey data.

Sounds like people fleeing the rust belt due to the incredible taxes. I know that a $60,000 home might have a property tax bill of $5,000 a year in Illinois; that same $60,000 homeowner would pay $600 in Arizona with a 3% state income tax, so it is no wonder property values are going down; and probably commensurate with the increase in taxes!
