access_timeJanuary 28, 2016personMark and Jennifer Monge

  First the bad news…there is no bad news. God I wish I could start every post like that. Everyone has been asking what effect the economy has had on home sales and what are things looking like for 2016. Well, let’s take a quick look backwards and see how Dunlap fared in 2015. When […]

Top ten (or rather 8) highest and lowest tax rates around central Illinois.

access_timeJanuary 27, 2016personMark and Jennifer Monge

  (This was originally a post I made a little while back, 2014 to be exact, but is very relevant and to the point with regards to property taxes around central Illinois. It’s one of the most often asked, and most often confused questions about homes in the area….which cities/areas/subdivisions are the highest or lowest, […]

(The following post was one we did almost exactly a year ago…which has somehow resurfaced and we thought we would bring it back for your enjoyment) Report on my first Yoga experience. All of the following is absolutely true, except for the parts that I made up or embellished. Some names have been changed to […]

2015 New Construction Stats for the Peoria area

access_timeJanuary 25, 2016personMark and Jennifer Monge

  The supply of new constructions is still pretty consistent compared to the last 2-3 years. Between 2011 and 2012 there was a major decline in the number of new constructions being built, but for 2013, 2014, and 2015 it was pretty much the same. Currently, for 2015 at least, there is a 6.6 month […]

2015 Year End Summary for the Peoria Area Housing Market

access_timeJanuary 25, 2016personMark and Jennifer Monge

      New homes coming on the market in 2015 were up about 6% from 2014, for a total of 8,632 homes listed in 2015. Some of this is because our Peoria Area Association of Realtors absorbed another MLS from the western side of the state that included areas like Macomb and Dahinda (Oak […]

Ok…going off the home path for just a minute…

access_timeDecember 3, 2015personMark and Jennifer Monge

I just finished reading a book that was pretty interesting called “Sapiens:A Brief History of Humankind” by Yuval Noah Harari. Sometimes I read something, or hear something, that I want to keep handy, close by or pass along to our kids. This is just such a passage.  It had nothing to do with homes, but […]

What effect has the Caterpillar announcement had on the housing market?

access_timeOctober 4, 2015personMark and Jennifer Monge

It has been a little over a week since Caterpillar made their announcement about a reduction in its work force globally and I’ve seen a wild range of reactions.
