Wisconsin real estate sales in 2014 fell slightly, by 1.5%, yet median prices also continued to grow at a steady rate, up 3.1%. “Despite a slow start due to harsh winter weather early in the year, 2014 rebounded nicely and ended with an excellent December and a very good final quarter of the year,” said Dan Kruse, WRA board chairman
“A 3.1 percent price increase over the year is good news,” said WRA President and CEO Michael Theo. “For three years in a row, home prices have kept with inflation without seriously impacting housing affordability.”
