Wisconsin real estate sales activity is up in 2012 with increased sales across the eight county South Central MLS region as well as increased home showings. It remains a very attractive time to buy a home – low rates and a lower median home sales price mean real long term affordability. We remain optimistic about a promising 2012 for Wisconsin real estate sales. Take a look at the opportunities to buy real estate all across Wisconsin at firstweber.com. Data below courtesy of SCWMLS
