What’s Happened to Real Estate Prices in McHenry County over the Last Five Years?
I found the following information on the Chicago Tribune’s Real Estate page on the internet.
It has an interative map of McHenry County (and all other parts of the six-county Chicago metropolitan area) that tells what has happened to real estate values in municipalies with enough sales from which to pull statistics.

Other communities have no information.
