54850: Here's What's Really New in Madeline Island Real Estate for 2014 - 03/02/14 09:38 AM
 
Here's What's Really  New in Madeline Island Real Estate for 2014
 
The latest issue of the Island Gazette  includes a brief article promoting one of our area competitors, mentioning a "new state-of-the-art website", "new signs" and a "new location".
We respect our competitors and understand their excitement about making changes.  But we feel it's important to talk about what is truly "new" in the Madeline Island real estate marketplace this year, and to talk about what really matters to real estate customers and clients in our market as we begin 2014.

54850: Was the 2013 Real Estate Market a Fluke? We Don't Believe It - 01/16/14 01:30 PM
 
Was the 2013 Real Estate Market a Fluke? We Don't Believe It
 
A prospective seller contacted me last week, and he sounded pretty conflicted about putting his house on the market.
This guy was concerned that the Madeline Island real estate market rebound in 2013 was a "flash in the pan" and he believes it won't continue this year.  He thinks that the robust sales we have experienced recently, particularly in the last six months of 2013, were an anomaly. 
From my point of view, one sale could very well be a coincidence or a stroke of good luck. … (0 comments)

2334 Benjamin Blvd, LaPointe WI 54850 Listed by Madeline Island Realty
The owners of this Wisconsin Northwoods gem tell me that much of the building material that went into the home was "century-old barn wood that was transported across the winter ice road from Bayfield to Madeline Island in a horse trailer".
2334 Benjamin Boulevard is a cottage in the woods unlike any other.  The home (and twenty-acre lot surrounding it) features "relaxation spots" throughout, with three cozy lofts, a balcony off the master bedroom, a swing on the front porch, a fire pit for cool Island evenings, and sunlit wooded meadows.

Northwest Wisconsin Appraisers Rely on Madeline Island Realty Recent Sales to Determine Values  
Recent property appraisals on Madeline Island have consistently made use of comparable sales statistics from sales by Madeline Island Realty over the past eighteen months.  One such appraisal used our 2011 co-listing and sale of 2984 North Shore Road, LaPointe, WI 54850 as a benchmark for determining value of an upper-bracket Madeline Island home (that sale was mentioned in a January 2011 Wall Street Journal article by S.

At the present time, none of our Madeline Island real estate brokerages has a one-stop IDX portal which shows all of the listed properties in the 54850 zip code area.
The reason is that some of our Madeline Island real estate offices list their homes and properties on NorthstarMLS (RMLS of Minnesota & Western Wisconsin), while others upload their listings to the Superior Area Association of Realtors (SAAR) MLS.

54850: Madeline Island Real Estate Market Report - Month of November 2011 Ends with Further Downturn in Average List Price - 12/13/11 05:52 PM
 
Madeline Island Real Estate Market Report - Month of November 2011 Ends with Further Downturn in Average List Price

According to statistics from the Trulia website, the average list price of a listed dwelling on Madeline Island dropped to $383,729.  The new average price in the 54850 zip code area represents a 0.4% drop from the previous week.
Continued weakness in pricing can be attributed to a number of factors, including the typical winter seasonal slowdown in Madeline Island tourist and visitor traffic.  A lack of available mortgage lending in rural northwest Wisconsin is also a contributing factor.
