If you are thinking of moving to Madison, Wisconsin, here are two positive items to consider. Madison is the #11 Healthiest Housing Market in the Builderonline.com Housing Market list. Being the capitol city and home to the University of Wisconsin helps to keep unemployment low. The article states that Madison is one of the most educated workforces in the nation and consistently ranks well as a great place to live and work. That is great press for Madison! In another web article today from msnbc.com, Madison, Wisconsin came in at #9 for the Healthiest cities for Women. (all those walking students may play a factor - the UW is a huge campus to cover, sometimes one end to another from class to class. I remember that very well...) The article states that 85% of women in Madison get regular exercise outside of work. That IS an impressive number! There are lots of bike trails in Madison and Madison is home to the Bicycling Federation of Wisconsin which holds a bike-awareness week every year. That's enough good news about Madison for the day! We're always happy to spread good news about our Wisconsin cities. If you are relocating and are interested in information on other Wisconsin communities, please let us know and we'd be happy to help. Thanks for reading.

It was a crazy, long and snowy winter this year - and a record breaking one for Madison, Wisconsin. Their snow total as of March 10 was 92 inches, the most they've ever had, at least while someone was keeping track. Milwaukee had 84.5 inches so far...only enough to earn the #4 spot for snowfall in the Milwaukee area. We anticipate a very busy spring as people come to life after this long winter. Come outside and take advantage of the favorable buying conditions. You can get more house for your money these days. Get while the getting is good!
