Shaw Local Radio Podcast: Jessica Brayfield - Habitat for Humanity prepares to break ground in the IV

Did your tax bill climb this year? Blame it on rising real estate values rather than increased tax rates. Though a few taxing bodies did raise rates, most homeowners in the Illinois Valley saw taxes go up because their homes are worth more thanks in part to a lingering seller's market. More construction, such as this Habitat for Humanity home seen Thursday, July 10, 2025, in Princeton, might alleviate market conditions.
