Down Homes in Lake Countythe Lake County home market is in the toilet.
If you are like your LakeCountyEye, you wish you had a nickel for every time your township assessor said it is not the price of the house that matters, but its value compared to your neighbors.

What is the reason for Lake County's inability to do squat when it comes to selling its residential property? One high ranking official agreed to talk to your LakeCountyEye on condition that he kept a bag over his head: "It's not all doom and gloom.

Fair 'nuff! Look for your LakeCountyEye flipping homes near you.
