Wisconsin July 2012 Housing Statistics

The Wisconsin housing statistics are now in for July of 2012. Here is an excerpt from what the Wisconsin Realtors Association (WRA) had to say:

“While the pace of the national economic recovery has been weak this year, Wisconsin home sales have rebounded nicely over the past year,” said Rob Keefe, Chairman of the WRA board of directors. He noted that Wisconsin home sales have been outpacing the nation.

The median price rose 2.1 percent in July, relative to July 2011, which represents the fifth straight month of higher median prices statewide. Although inventories remain solid, they have fallen significantly over the past year. “We were sitting on nearly 18 months of inventory in July of 2011, and that has fallen to just under 13 months,” said WRA President and CEO, Michael Theo.

Below are the number of Home Sales and Median House Prices for the state of Wisconsin, Rock County, and Dane County. These stats include Janesville and Madison. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions pertaining to these figures. As you probably have heard, home sales have been increasing substantially all year. Both Dane and Rock counties are showing marked improvements in the number of homes sold. Prices have bounced in Rock County, while in Dane County WI they appear to still be falling at a significant pace.
