Wisconsin June 2012 Housing Statistics

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

“Wisconsin home sales continued to grow at a robust pace with sales of existing homes up 19.3 percent in June over June of last year... June median home prices increased 1.4 percent to $142,000 relative to the same month last year which is the fourth straight month of increasing median prices."

“In a national economy that has not yet seen the kind of growth rates that typify most economic recoveries, it’s encouraging to see such strong growth in home sales over the last 12 months,” said Rob Keefe, Chairman of the WRA Board of Directors.

Wisconsin April 2012 Housing Statistics

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

“The strong pace of existing home sales continued, with 10 straight months of double-digit sales growth. Home sales rose 19.5 percent in April 2012 compared to April 2011, according to the most recent monthly report by the Wisconsin REALTORS^® Association (WRA). Home prices were also up for the second straight month, rising 2.4 percent to $128,000 in April compared to April 2011."

“After several years of a stagnate housing market, it’s encouraging to see sustained growth in home sales, especially as we enter the summer, which is the prime season for home sales in the state,” said Rob Keefe, Chairman of the WRA board of directors.

The WRA says an improving state jobs market is helping home sales. Since December, the state has added nearly 18,000 nonfarm private jobs even as government employment fell by 3,400 based on seasonally adjusted estimates.

Wisconsin March 2012 Housing Statistics

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

“We certainly had a mild winter, and that may account for some of the strength in home sales last month, but it’s important to note that we’ve seen very strong growth in home sales over the last nine months,” said Rob Keefe, Chairman of the WRA board of directors.

“These are the strongest signals we have seen in some time going into the spring selling season,” said Keefe, who noted that the combination of low rates and modest improvements in the job market should support continued growth in sales.

The WRA says an improving state jobs market is helping home sales. Since December, the state has added nearly 18,000 nonfarm private jobs even as government employment fell by 3,400 based on seasonally adjusted estimates.

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.

Wisconsin February 2012 Housing Statistics

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

This increasing sales trend began last summer and has continued at a healthy pace throughout the fall and winter. “It’s very encouraging to see sustained growth in home sales,” said Rob Keefe, Chairman of the WRA board of directors. He noted that sales over the last five months have seen growth rates in double digits without any distortion from federal incentive programs.

“We’re hopeful that the combination of moderating prices and low mortgage rates will carry this momentum into the next six months, which are the prime homebuying season in Wisconsin,” 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.

Wisconsin January 2012 Housing Statistics

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

“While we wouldn’t want to draw too many conclusions from strong January sales figures, it is encouraging to see some the strong growth patterns of the last three months continue into 2012,” said Rob Keefe, Chairman of the WRA board of directors.

The January (home inventory) figure stands at 11.8 months of unsold homes, meaning that it would take nearly a year to sell the current inventory of homes available for purchase given the average pace of sales over the last year. “In the 20 months that we’ve tracked this measure, this is the first time we’ve been below 12 months, which is a good sign,” 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.

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.
