ROCKFORD When the coronavirus upended her life as a bartender last year, Dani Powers seized an opportunity to make a career switch she had long considered.
Powers, 36, had spent her entire adult life working in the hospitality industry, but it was brutalized by pandemic-related shutdowns last year, stripping an estimated $57.4 million out of restaurants and bars in Rockford alone, according to city tax data. Instead of working an eight-hour shift five days a week, now I m working maybe a three- or four-hour shift maybe three nights a week, she said. I didn t want to go back to being in that bind again with the restaurant industry.

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the Illinois real estate market remains red hot.
A surge in home sales which began shortly after real estate transactions resumed last spring after the state’s initial stay-at-home order, has shown little sign of slowing down as the industry goes through what is usually a slow time of year.
Interest rates are low, sales are up, the price of homes has been steadily increasing over the past year, and housing inventories around the state are low.
“Totally seller s market, and we foresee that happening with the pent up demand right into the spring market,” said Sue Miller, president of Illinois Realtors.
