First Weber tracks showings of our listings and the numbers show homebuyers are out in force. Wisconsin homebuyer activity was up in all regions during December, normally a slow month with people thinking about the holidays more than homebuying. This is wonderful news as we head into 2012. Sellers: Be sure to price right to take advantage of this extraordinary activity. Buyers: Good for you for realizing the opportunities!

In the Milwaukee area, December showings were very strong, the best in four years since we began tracking. Over 1500 homes were shown to buyers.
