是租还是买？ 如果你在这边打算 住 超过3年以上，那么买房的成本比租房的成本要高，这里涉及到了很多买房省税的知识。 如果你在这边 住 在3年以下，还是建议租房。

According to Zillow's rent index, a data source found in the State Data Lab, Illinois far surpasses the nearby states' rent costs. All midwestern states report an average rent cost just around a thousand dollars a month, except for Minnesota ($1,361/month) and Illinois ($1,431/month). Considering that the national average rate is $1,366.98 according to Zillow, the midwest is generally less expensive than renting nationwide. However, Illinois defies this trend, and its rental rates are higher than the national average, and significantly higher than average Midwestern rates.
The National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC) announced the findings of its annual report, Out of Reach: The High Cost of Housing 2020, and the results are cause for concern among housing advocates.
The report, conducted since 1989, compares rents and wages nationally, at the state and county level and in metropolitan market areas. Prior to 2020, the gap between market housing costs and wages was striking. But Out of Reach in 2020 demonstrates a growing chasm between household income levels and housing costs, exacerbated by the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic.
The results show that in Illinois, the hourly wage to afford a two-bedroom rental is $21.30. While working at Illinois’ current minimum wage of $10/hour, it would require 72 hours of work per week to afford a one-bedroom rental. In the Chicago area, the hourly wage to afford a two-bedroom rental is $24, which tops the list for Illinois’ highest cost market. Springfield’s wage is a bit more modest at $15.42 and in the Metro-East area (St. Louis HMFA) the wage is $17.40. The study confirms what REALTORS® know to be true: there is a stunning lack of housing inventory forcing upward pressure on rents.
Illinois REALTORS® is an outspoken advocate for government policies that encourage new housing construction and much-needed relief to this price pressure. One of the most effective ways to control costs is by adding supply, but in many markets around Illinois, local zoning, building codes and rental regulations have limited new construction at any price point lower than high-end. Added government costs to housing construction － which can be tens of thousands of dollars － cannot be absorbed into the price of lower-cost housing units.
