Wisconsin December 2011 Housing Statistics

The Wisconsin housing statistics are now in for December of 2011. Here is an excerpt from what the Wisconsin Realtors® Association (WRA) had to say:

"What is encouraging is to see monthly home sales continue to outpace last year's levels," said Rob Keefe, Chairman of the WRA Board of Directors, noting that home sales in December were 11.3 percent higher than December 2010".

"If home sales are to continue to grow, we will need more robust job growth going forward, but a falling unemployment rate is a welcomed sign" said WRA President and CEO Michael Theo.  The [Wisconsin] unemployment rate dropped more than a half percent over the last two months to 7.1 percent in December 2011.

Wisconsin November 2011 Housing Statistics

The Wisconsin housing statistics are now in for November of 2011. Here is an excerpt from what the Wisconsin Realtors Association (WRA) had to say:

"We are definitely closing out the year on a strong note," said Rob Keefe, Chairman of the WRA Board of Directors, noting that the seasonal pattern of home sales typically slows as winter approaches. "The strong market of the last few months has pulled sales in 2011 nearly even with the 2010 level," he said. Keefe noted that year-to-date home sales through the end of November are now less than 1 percent below last year, and that is without any bump from the federal government to stimulate existing home sales.

"This is clearly a buyer's market, and while inventories are down from October, they still remain high at more than 14 months," said WRA President and CEO Michael Theo. "This means buyers will be in the driver's seat for the foreseeable future. The economy did get a little good news in November with an improvement in the national unemployment rate and even an uptick in consumer confidence and consumer expectations"

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 can see, home sales have been increasing substantially this year. What I find most interesting in November's data is that Rock County Wisconsin home prices are actually increasing, while Dane County Wisconsin home prices have been decreasing. Both counties continue to have an uptick in the number of homes sold.

Wisconsin October 2011 Housing Statistics

The Wisconsin housing statistics are now in for October of 2011. Here is an excerpt from what the Wisconsin Realtors Association (WRA) had to say:
For the fourth straight month, Wisconsin’s monthly home sales outpaced last year while median prices continued to fall, according to data released by the Wisconsin REALTORS^® Association (WRA). Existing home sales increased 13.5 percent in October compared to October 2010, and median prices fell 7.8 percent over the same period to $129,000.
 “We are continuing the trends seen throughout the third quarter with home sales well above the depressed levels of 2010,” said Rob Keefe, Chairman of the WRA Board of Directors. “By front-loading sales in 2010, the Federal Tax Rebate Program made sales in the first half of this year look weak,” said Keefe. “Conversely sales in the second half of this year look much stronger by comparison,” he added. Sales in the first half of 2011 were 17.6 percent below the 2010 levels, but in the last four months, the state is 24.5 percent ahead of last year’s pace, making the year-to-date figures just 2.8 percent lower. “The economic fundamentals really haven’t changed much over the past year so it’s not surprising our sales volume is about the same overall,” said Keefe.

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 can see, home sales have been increasing substantially this year. What I find most interesting in October's data is that Rock County Wisconsin home prices are staying steady, while Dane County Wisconsin home prices have been decreasing.

Wisconsin September 2011 Housing Statistics

The Wisconsin housing statistics are now in for September of 2011. Here is an excerpt from what the Wisconsin Realtors Association (WRA) had to say:

Wisconsin home sales were significantly higher in September even as median prices dipped slightly from their levels last year. Existing home sales rose 17.7 percent in September compared to September last year, and median prices fell 1.5 percent to $134,900 over the same period, according to data released by the Wisconsin REALTORS^® Association (WRA).

“It’s no surprise to anyone familiar with the housing market that home sales were so strong in the last three months compared to 2010,” said Rob Keefe, Chairman of the WRA Board of Directors. The expiration of the federal tax rebate program in June last year pushed much of the 2010 sales activity into the first half of the year, creating a steep drop-off in the second half. In fact, home sales for the July through September period were up 26.2 percent over the third quarter last year primarily as a result of the termination of the federal program. “Still, on a year-to-date basis, we’re only 4.9 percent off the pace set last year, and we expect to further close that gap in the fourth quarter,” said Keefe.

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. What I find most interesting in the latest data is that Rock County Wisconsin home prices are increasing, while Dane County Wisconsin home prices decreased by over 10 percent.

Wisconsin August 2011 Housing Statistics

The Wisconsin housing statistics are now in for August of 2011. Here is an excerpt from what the Wisconsin Realtors Association (WRA) had to say:

For the second straight month, Wisconsin’s existing home sales were up by a substantial margin. Home sales rose 31.1 percent in August compared to the same month last year; however median prices were down 7.3 percent to $139,000 over the same period, according to data released by the Wisconsin REALTORS^® Association (WRA).

“This was not a surprise since home sales in July and August of last year were very low after the federal homebuyers tax credit program expired in June of 2010,” said Rob Keefe, Chairman of the WRA Board of Directors. The WRA indicates that monthly comparisons won’t be valid until at least the fourth quarter when sales are no longer distorted by last year’s federal program. “Nonetheless, on a year-to-date basis through the end of August, Wisconsin’s home sales are only 5.9 percent lower than last year, suggesting that 2011 is shaping up to look a lot like 2010,” said Keefe.

Wisconsin July 2011 Housing Statistics

The Wisconsin housing statistics are now in for July of 2011. Here is an excerpt from what the Wisconsin Realtors Association (WRA) had to say:

"As expected, the sales of existing homes in Wisconsin increased 34.4 percent over July of last year, and the median house price fell 5.9 percent to $139,900"

“We anticipated July was going to show very strong sales compared to last year when the federal homebuyers tax credit expired,” said John Horning, Chairman of the WRA Board of Directors. The federal tax credit expired in June of 2010 causing a substantial decline in home sales the following month. “Home sales this year follow a more typical seasonal pattern whereas last year sales were front-loaded into the first six months because of the tax credit,” said Horning. “That’s why the sales figures for April, May and June this year appeared so weak, and it’s one of the reasons they are so strong in July,” Horning said.

Wisconsin June 2011 Housing Statistics

The Wisconsin housing statistics are now in for June of 2011. Here is an excerpt from what the Wisconsin Realtors Association (WRA) had to say:

As expected, the sale of existing homes in Wisconsin for June was below last year's pace, a consequence of artificially high sales a year ago due to the federal tax credit program, according to data released by the Wisconsin REALTORS^® Association (WRA). Home sales in June were 16 percent lower than that same month last year, and the median sales price was down 7 percent to $140,000.

"Actually these figures were a bit better than expected," said John Horning, Chairman of the WRA Board of Directors, noting the initial deadline set for the 2010 program required a signed contract by the end of April and a closing by the end of June. "The reality is that it's tough to compare these two months because so many buyers last year were scrambling to get their closings done by June 30," Horning said. "It will still be a couple of months before the distortions from the federal tax program work their way out of the data," he said.
