We’ve seen a 49% increase in the number of single-family homes that have sold in Ozaukee county during the first quarter of 2012 over the same time last year and a 30% increase in Washington county.

washington county real estate: So How Are Real Estate Sales in Ozaukee and Washington Counties?? - 03/18/12 02:07 PM
Seems everywhere I go these days people are asking, "So how is the real estate business?" And it seems that many of my colleagues are getting the same question.
I happily am able to answer that with a heartfelt, "Great!" Yes, activity is certainly picking up out there. Open house traffic is increasing, even in those homes that hadn't had visitors for a while. Some homes are getting multiple offers, and the days on market don't seem to be hitting the three-digit numbers as often any more.
Are we out of the woods? Probably not. But what we've seen in Ozaukee … (4 comments)

washington county real estate: I'm Realizing I'm Having a Hard Time Letting Go - 01/13/12 12:56 PM
I received a call early this morning from one of my sellers to let me know she decided to accept the latest counter offer we received from the buyer who had written an offer on her house. Admittedly, I breathed a sigh of relief.
It's a great offer. Clean, fair, and a pretty quick closing, too. But getting this to the "accepted offer" status wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. And this morning I found out why.
It came down to the realization that agreeing to this latest counter offer meant taking one step closer to letting go … (10 comments)

washington county real estate: Social Media -- The Best and The Worst of It - 12/13/11 08:34 PM
I don't think you can exist in this world today and not have at least somewhat of an idea of what social media is even if you don't use it in your everyday life. And I don't think you can be in the real estate business -- or any business for that matter -- and not have it as part of your overall marketing plan.
Today I was reminded yet again just how powerful it is and what a benefit it can be.
In the past 24 hours, I've had a great business plan template emailed to me from a … (5 comments)

washington county real estate: We're Ready to List the House -- Now What Do We List It For? - 09/24/10 02:42 PM
One of the many things I try to plant in my sellers' minds is the fact that this real estate market we're in is ever-changing. Every day is a new adventure. Every day I learn something new.
And although this has been the reality for some time now, it still can be difficult to really wrap your head around the way things are. Prices are low and inventory is high. Foreclosures and short sales are out there -- even in "your neighborhood."
No one is immune from this. No one.
What does that mean if you are ready to … (3 comments)

washington county real estate: Is That the Light at the End of the Tunnel That I See?? - 04/03/09 09:34 PM
Over the past month, it seemed like the activity at my office was picking up a bit -- open house attendance was up, more showings were being scheduled, more offers were being written on the board, and more listings were being taken.
But it wasn't until I ran the number of sales over the last three months from my local Multiple Listing Service (MLS), that I saw on paper how much things really had improved. Are we starting to make a comeback??
