Media Mention: Villa Park in Crain's Chicago Business

This week, the Village of Villa Park was covered in the publication Crain's Chicago Business; "The two factors driving the 2020 housing market—low interest rates and COVID-inspired moves to more suitable homes—have accelerated sales in many parts of the Chicago area, but they’ve been like rocket fuel in Villa Park, 17 miles west of the Loop in DuPage County.

The suburb's home sales are up 16 percent so far this year, to 305 at the end of October, and the median sale price is up 8.1 percent, to $250,000."
