Sales up by almost 2,000 units, Prices up, Days on market down. ADVANTAGE SELLER once again.

2017 Milwaukee area real estate sales closed almost 2000 more sales over a very good 2016.  The average sales price continues to rise. “Days on Market” is down considerably across the metro area.

Well-priced homes under $300,000 are getting snatched up quickly.  You do, however, still need an agent to sell.  Getting a buyer is JUST the tip of the iceberg when it comes to selling a home. And as for buyers, a buyer agent is needed now more than ever!
