Wauwatosa Wisconsin Market Report Oct. 1, 2008

By
Services for Real Estate Pros

Reporting on sales and activity for Wauwatosa Wisconsin for the month ending September 30, 2008. 

September sales in Wauwatosa show as 31 closings.  In 2007 data shows 27 sales for the same time period.

There are currently 241 active listings in Wauwatosa.  That is 13 months supply on the market.  This indicates we are in a buyers market.  When inventory is at 5 months or less, it is considered a "sellers" market.

Sales are up slightly from 2007 - that is a good sign.

Building permits across the country are down to just under a million, historically this is an INDICATOR that we have reached the BOTTOM of the market.

If sales for this past month are an indicator, sales are increasing.  That is good news for the economy and the seller's in the area.

If you would like a market report on your neighborhood or an evaluation on what your home is worth, contact me.

If you are a buyer - THIS IS IT!!! There is a great amount of inventory to choose from and interest rates are still low.  Contact me if you'd like help with finding a home.

Data is from the MLS - Multiple Listing Service as of 10-1-08

Ann- If the bail out bill get signed I think things will.  Without that funds are going to get leaner!  Let's hope the folks in DC get their act together!

Ann - I am concerned too.  But even more concerning is if we do nothing and end up in a depression!

April,

Then at least we would have some stories to tell the grand kids?  And maybe we would waste less.

April,

Both my mom and dad as well as grandparents lived through it. it was not a fun time but people are resilient and adapt.  My grandparents had an outhouse, something unhead of today unless you attend a large event and use a johnny on the spot.

I am not so sure the bail out will fix any of the problems....

Ann,

I'm not so sure the bailout will "fix" things.  But it can't HURT things.   THanks for stopping by.
