Sales of existing homes are up and the housing market in general appears to be making a slow, but steady comeback. That's good news if you want to sell your home now.
So, you’ve wanted to sell your house for the past couple of years but the sagging housing market has given you the blues? Cheer up! This fall could finally be the right time to put the homestead on the market. That’s the consensus among a group of real estate experts we asked to assess the current Milwaukee area housing market and — in particular — the conditions for selling a home this fall. In fact, the market has been slowly but surely improving for several months. “This year, we’ve seen a steady increase in the market,” said John Paul Horning, vice president of Shorewest Realtors, which has offices throughout the area, including Oak Creek, Greendale and Racine. “We’ve been up roughly 25 to 30 percent every month compared to last year …

A report indicates the expiration of a federal homebuyers tax credit is responsible for the jump in sales.
Greenfield homeowners looking to sell their homes may have experienced better luck this July than last, according to a story by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The story cites the Wisconsin Realtors Association report that stated home sales rose 34.4 percent in July compared to July 2010. The rise was anticipated, according to the story, because in 2010, new homebuyers were taking advantage of the federal homebuyers tax credit before it expired at the end of April 2010. Many homes were purchased in the early part of 2010 because of the $8,000 credit, before sales tapered off during the summer months. According to the story, home sales were up 36.5 percent in Milwaukee County. Meanwhile, the story said the median home price dropped 8.6 …
