Housing

Missouri's hottest housing market sees homes with sold signs in their yards in just 10 days.

A new forecast says a Missouri metro is about to see a housing boom in 2026.

The idea of 'living comfortably' is such a subjective thing. Income that is comfortable for one person might seem like poverty to another. However, there is a national average which is being used to compare Illinois towns and cities to decide which ones are the most comfortable in the state.

I have mentioned before my history of being born and raised in Missouri, but I also have many friends and family who either live in Texas now or have in the past. They can tell you that anyone moving to Missouri from Texas with certain expectations are in for a real shock.

If we're being honest with each other, not many saw this one coming. I am a fan of this underrated Illinois place, but even I was shocked to see it named the hottest housing market in America by major publications.

It's not Ladue and it's not Town and Country which surprised me. No, the most expensive housing market in Missouri is wild - literally.

When you hear what is allegedly Missouri's most affordable housing market, I would not blame you if your first question is "WHAT?!".

As a Missouri homeowner, this is disturbing on a lot of levels. The United States of America is reportedly seeing an alarming rise in underwater mortgages and Missouri is one state among those suffering the most.

I am without words. OK, so I have a few, but my point is I'm still recovering from the shock of seeing a Missouri place named a top 5 emerging housing market when it's rare to hear anything positive said about it at all.

This is more than a bit unexpected. If you had to find the hottest housing markets in America are, where would you look? Look no further than Illinois that has 2 of the top 30 housing markets in America and neither is near Chicago either.
