Monday Market Update - February 2nd, 2026

Описание: Hello & Happy Monday!

It’s time for your Monday Market Update 🏡📊 — and yes, it’s Groundhog Day 🐿️❄️

This week, Miranda & Andrew kick things off with the latest numbers on current listings and recent sales across McHenry County. They share that they’ve seen more homes hitting the private network, and why having a knowledgeable Realtor matters when it comes to seeing all available opportunities — not just what’s public.

They also discuss:
• Interest rates holding steady
• Foreclosures remaining low, pointing to a more balanced, “normal” market
• How income not keeping pace with inflation continues to impact affordability
• Why real estate is hyper-local, and national headlines don’t always reflect what’s happening here

Despite broader challenges, the local market remains strong. They highlight continued price appreciation, including:
• Crystal Lake: up ~5%
• Algonquin: up ~6%
• Lake in the Hills: up ~8%
• Cary: up ~4%

Overall, we’re still seeing healthy appreciation across McHenry County, and that’s something they expect to continue into 2026.

Miranda also shares a fun comparison — when she started in 2016, the average price per square foot was around $100. Today, it’s nearing $200, reinforcing why homes continue to be a strong long-term investment.
