Wisconsin Home Sales Still Setting Records

For a third straight year, the sales of existing homes in Wisconsin have reached record levels.  The 83-thousand homes sold during 2017 represent a one-point-four percent increase over the year before.  The state’s median sales price jumped five-and-a-half percent to 174-thousand dollars.  Wisconsin is still a seller’s market.  The average home sold in December was bought in just less than four months — one month sooner than December 2016.  A strong economy and millennials looking to buy their first home are given credit for driving the market.
