Rising Sales
Metro Milwaukee area home sales in November are up 5.0% over last year at this time. This marks the tenth month of positive sales this year. 1182 homes were sold last month compared to 1126 last November.
We are enjoying a busy fall, where sales typically start to slow down. Because of the limited inventory situations seen in many local markets, buyers need to be in contact with their agent and be ready to move forward quickly when they find “the one.”

This is a great time to move up to a better home with low interest rates. While not ideal, remember you can always rent for a month or two if your home sells before finding your next perfect home. You can even end up renting your own house back while your new home is in the closing process. This can be negotiated and is an option to think about if you want to sell but are concerned about finding your next place. Contact a First Weber agent today to talk.
