The new year is in full swing, so today we wanted to give you a quick market update for the Milwaukee area. In a recent article in The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, we saw some great numbers: both home sales and the average price of a home sale are on the rise.

Overall, in the Milwaukee metro area, home sales increased by 14% increase from January 2015 to January 2016. That’s a total of 933 homes sold in January this year, compared to 820 sold last January. Some counties saw an even greater increase, as Washington County saw a 24.7% increase in sales. This big increase has a lot to do with the mild weather we’ve been seeing this winter, along with the currently low mortgage rates.




The average sales price in Milwaukee also saw a considerable increase from last year, with a 7.1% increase throughout the metro area. Washington County saw an 8.7% increase and Ozaukee County saw a 4.2% increase.

Right now, we are experiencing one of the lowest inventory levels we’ve had in the last 5 years. If you’ve been thinking of selling, you want to get your home on the market earlier than the spring. If you have any questions for us, we would love to help you out. Acting soon is of great importance whether you are thinking of buying or selling. We would love to hear from you!
