ozaukee county real estate: Ozaukee County Single-Family Home Sales -- November 2013
- 12/10/13 09:56 PM
We saw some interesting changes in single-family home sales in November. Not only did the number of units sold (54) decrease over October (73), but they also decreased over November of last year (73). Talking to other agents in the area, it seems like many of us have been keeping pretty busy, so it'll be interesting to see what December brings.
A more positive stat is the average sale price of single-family homes in Ozaukee County. This increased in November ($361,768) and is up over last month ($278,975) and November of 2012 ($282,774).
The average days on market (131) for single-family homes in … (0 comments)

ozaukee county real estate: Stepping Stones Children's Center in Belgium & Port Washington WI
- 03/25/13 08:17 AM
One of the most common questions I get asked by families who have small children and are looking to buy a home in Ozaukee county is how are the schools and what day care facilities are available.

Both centers accept children ages 4 weeks to 12 years and are open Monday through Friday, 5:30 am - 6:00 pm.

ozaukee county real estate: February 2013 -- Ozaukee County Home Sales Improving!
- 03/05/13 07:55 PM
The number of Ozaukee county single-family homes that sold in February (48) is up from January of this year (48) and February 2012 (37).
The average sale price for single-family Ozaukee county homes is up, as well. In February 2012, it was $224,206, while this year we are up to $296,970.
Some other positive news is that inventory isn't sitting on the market as long as it was last year, either. The average days on market (the number of days from the day the home is listed until it goes into "pending," meaning all contingencies have … (0 comments)

ozaukee county real estate: Moving Right Along in Ozaukee & Washington Counties
- 01/18/13 11:20 PM
We are over two weeks into the new year already, and as we take one last look at the past year in real estate, we like what we see.
The number of homes that have sold in both Ozaukee and Washington counties is up -- over 20% in both counties! And to add to that great news, homes were on the market for fewer days than they were the year prior.
Prices dipped a bit, but if demand continues to improve, prices could well be on the upswing, as well.
If you've been thinking about buying or … (3 comments)

ozaukee county real estate: Which Comes First -- Listing or Buying?
- 09/29/12 06:12 AM
In a recent conversation with a new buyer who would also be selling her house, the question came up as to when she should put her house on the market. Does she list it now and hope that she's found a new place by the time she gets an offer on hers, or does she wait to list it until she has an accepted offer on a new place? The table below outlines why listing your house before you have an accepted offer on another home gives you more negotiating power on both the selling and buying end.
There are, of … (14 comments)

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. While prices have remained steady or slipped a bit, this is a strong indicator that buyers’ confidence in the housing market is indeed improving.
With inventory moving at a much quicker pace and some properties even receiving multiple offers, this is the time for anyone thinking about buying a house to get out and buy a house.

ozaukee county real estate: So How Are Real Estate Sales in Ozaukee and Washington Counties??
- 03/18/12 07:07 AM
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)

ozaukee county real estate: Ozaukee County's Best Kept Secret -- Harrington Beach State Park
- 01/31/12 01:05 PM
I don't ever remember walking along the beach or strolling around the quarry at Harrington Beach State Park in the middle of the winter. But this winter is different.
So far this year, we've had minimal snow and unusually warm temps. Today we made it into the 50s. Add bluer than blue skies, a breeze out of the west, and the golden sun, and you have the makings of the perfect day to play hooky from work.
So that's what I did -- at least for part of the day. I couldn't resist.
If you haven't been to Harrington you … (2 comments)

ozaukee county real estate: I'm Realizing I'm Having a Hard Time Letting Go
- 01/13/12 04:56 AM
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)

ozaukee county real estate: It's Not Nice to Tease
- 01/12/12 01:11 PM
Dear Mrs. Buyer,
I received your voicemail the other day that you and your husband wanted to buy a house in Ozaukee County. You said you found me on the internet, liked my bio, and were excited to work with me! You left your number, saying you looked forward to hearing from me. I was out and about putting up some "open Sunday" signs and thought it'd be best to call you when I got back to the office -- much easier than trying to talk while driving.
About 20 minutes later, I called the number you left but got … (5 comments)

ozaukee county real estate: Social Media -- The Best and The Worst of It
- 12/13/11 12:34 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)

ozaukee county real estate: The Key is Price
- 10/24/11 12:04 PM
I'm doubtful there is a "blogging" real estate agent out there who has never blogged about the importance of proper pricing when it comes to selling your house. It is the key to getting to the closing table -- no pun intended.
If you are truly committed to selling your house, you must listen to what your Realtor® is telling you when it comes to pricing your house compellingly in this or any market.
Buyers buy by comparison. And right now, in most markets, they have a lot of comparing to do. You hire us for our expertise and for the tools … (2 comments)

ozaukee county real estate: We're Ready to List the House -- Now What Do We List It For?
- 09/24/10 07:42 AM
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)
