This week, Stacey and I had an opportunity to attend portions of the Wisconsin Realtors Association annual convention. This is always a fun time and especially so this year. We were there to help induct our good friend John Flor (Chetek) as the new Chairman of our state association. This is the first time in 22 years that a representative from the northland has held this position. Congratulations John!
While there we had a chance to speak to brokers from around the state. One thing we heard over and over is that it appears the worst is behind us. Prices seem to be stabilizing and activity is increasing. Certain segments of the market seem to be more active including the lower and moderate priced homes that are benefitting from the $8,000 first time homebuyer stimulus.
Markets similar to ours, with a great deal of recreational and waterfront property, have been seeing a spurt in activity in the last two months just as we have here. Still, the activity has been in the more modestly priced properties but showing activity is increased across the board.
Let's see this trend continue. Get out and enjoy the gorgeous weather. It is a blessing this time of year.
