So What's Happening in Your Neck of the Woods?

We're over halfway through April already, and here in Ozaukee and Washington counties the sun is shining and the temperatures are rising -- finally! Spring has sprung. And the real estate marke is abuzzing. Here's a quick snapshot of what's happening in Ozaukee and Washington counties. The information here is provided by Multiple Listing Service, Inc.

The status "pending" means the property has an accepted offer and all contingencies have been removed. 

So what does this mean for you?

First, contrary to what you might be hearing in the media, the real estate market in Ozaukee and Washington county is moving -- no pun intended. If you're in the market to sell your current home, buyers are out there. We typically see an upswing in activity this time of year -- and it's no different this year -- so it's a great time to get on board.

Second, if you're considering buying a home -- whether it be a first-time purchase, upsizing, or downsizing, this is a great time to jump in, as well. You can see inventory is still high, so you have a lot from which to choose. And did you know that interest rates have been and continue to be at or below 5%???  No one knows how long they'll stay there, so why not jump in now??

Feeling a little overwhelmed or confused about everything you're hearing or reading? Not sure what your next step should be? Contact a local realtor for some guidance. We know the market better than anyone.
