Quoting the Greater Milwaukee Association of Realtors: ” The market is proving to be very ‘balanced,’ in contrast to the wild swings we saw over the last decade. Sellers should not assume they will get whatever they ask for, and buyers should know the days of deep discounts are gone; a REALTORS® guidance will help both parties purchase or sell a property for a fair price.”
Balanced is good! Interest rates remain good, but they are predicted to continue to rise.
