First Weber Group REALTORS®: Wisconsin Real Estate

The demand for smaller homes is growing. Census Bureau data shows that in 2008, the median home size shrank from 2,277 sq ft to 2,215.  (That's still bigger than my house!) This is the first decrease in median size in almost 14 years.  In a poll done by the National Association of Home Builders, 9 of 10 builders would be building small houses as a result of this trend.  Not only are people trimming the excesses of previous years for financial reasons, but the smaller homes seem to fit in better with today's environmental/green movement.

It will be very interesting to see if this trend continues in Wisconsin real estate.  What do you think will happen?  Is your home larger or smaller than the median size?

This has absolutely nothing to do with real estate!  Just a post to show that First Weber is made up of of real people who also have talents beyond selling Wisconsin real estate. 

Oregon First Weber Office Samples Homemade Pickles

Oregon had a contest for the people in the office who make home-made pickles. We had bread/butter pickles, sweet pickles, chili peppers, mustard peppers, and Jalepeño pickles and dill, of course. So we called it our pickle-off for November 10, 2009. The pickle makers are: John Norwell, Oscar Larson, Tom Jordan, Sharon Christensen and Beth Foss.

I would have liked to have been there to taste.  No information on the winner has been provided....
