It's the land/location increasing in value - not the home itself, in my personal experience and opinion

This could limit your ability to refinance in the future to lower your payments.Rental Viability: Renting out a very new home (built in 2019) may not be ideal due to potential wear and tear concerns and the fact that it's less likely to need significant repairs or updates that tenants often expect.Local Market Considerations: Chicago's property market is known for high property taxes and historically slower appreciation compared to other markets.Financial Necessity: If you don't have a strong financial or personal reason to move, such as proximity to work, family, or lifestyle changes, it may not justify the hassle and costs of buying a new primary home.I am a loan officer so feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any other questions or would just like to discuss!
