Attention condo and house buyers! People searching for Milwaukee condos, single family homes and other real estate in the Milwaukee area are finding great deals in the marketplace. Even though some say the current real estate market is bad, there are great opportunities out there for people looking for a new home. Mortgage interest rates continue to be at record lows and most condo and house prices have gone down.
Over the past year, I have worked with many people in the Milwaukee area who have been interested in both condos and single-family homes. Many times, I have seen folks who wanted to buy but were concerned about the future whether it be their jobs or the state of the housing market. While no one knows what the near future holds for the real estate market, a case can be made for action now because prices may have flattened and could start rising.
Some banks around Milwaukee are offering great packages for first-time home buyers of condos and single-family homes as well as owner occupied duplexes. Also, WHEDA, the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority, is back and offering deals for first-time home buyers of single-family homes with very low down payments. Unfortunately, WHEDA is not offering mortgages for condos at the present time.
Sellers: The market is definitely down. However, that can spell opportunity; especially if you are looking to upgrade. A lot of the market is based on price and condition right now. If you are looking to sell your house or condominium, pricing it right and making sure it presents well can set you apart in this market. If you are upgrading and decide to take a 10% hit on your house, perhaps you can buy a more expensive home where that home owner takes a 10% hit. Proportionately, the percentage is the same but the more expensive house means you save more dollars than you lose in that scenario.
Real estate is a great passion of mine. For years, I have been investing in real estate and understand the market. Whether it is real estate in Shorewood, Mequon, Brookfield, Hartland, New Berlin or Franklin, I have a solid understanding of most of the Milwaukee area through my life-long residency and status as a community volunteer.

When working with a real estate agent, it is important to work with someone who wants to help you become educated in the process. That is what I try to do. The first thing to know is that people in my profession are realtors and not realators or realitors. The second thing to learn is that the word realty has only two syllables unlike the real word reality or nonexistent one of realaty!
