Door County Real Estate
Market Update:  July, 2022
Have the winds of change started a gentle breeze in the Door County real estate market in July of 2022?
Contracts Opening Up:  The first thing we've seen are offers that have fallen apart with no back-up offers that have come back as "Active" in the MLS, with requests from the listing agents to please help them get back under contract.  We've seen that four times in the last six weeks on a very visible scale--properties without secondary (back-up) Offers---and we haven't seen much of that in two years.  So I do believe that is … (3 comments)

Door County Real Estate for Sale is Priced to Sell in 2014.

While its always nice to make a profit on real estate (or any other investment), we do have properties on the market that are priced for substantially less than their estimated fair market value or even for what a Seller paid a few years ago.
