Wisconsin real estate market March 2017: Highest March sales in more than 10 years.
Wisconsin home sales and prices jumped in March – well above last year’s March performance and the best sales since 2005.
- Sales up 7.2%
- Prices up 5.2% to $163,000 as a statewide median
- Inventory remains low, driving prices up.
“Tight supply combined with strong demand conditions is a recipe for higher prices, and that’s what we’re seeing moving into the spring and summerhouse markets” said WRA President and CEO Michael Theo. “Our strong statewide economy is definitely putting upward pressure on home prices, which have been growing at more than double the rate of inflation,” said Theo.
