SOUTH BARRINGTON, IL - FEBRUARY 21: A home is offered for sale on February 21, 2018 in South Barrington, Illinois. January home sales experienced a sharp drop over the same period last year because of a shortage of modestly-priced homes available to first-time home buyers. Sales of homes priced below $100,000 fell 13 percent while sales of homes priced between $500,000 and $750,000 increased nearly 12 percent in January. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)
