Speaker 1: Rock ro Ock, Wisconsin dot com. Eight sixteen Chickity Drive
3:12
Speaker 1: in Cambridge'll talk a little bit more about that home
3:14
Speaker 1: later on the program. Who is our listing agent on
3:16
Speaker 1: this one, Matt?
3:17
Speaker 2: That's actually me this time, Matt.
3:19
Speaker 1: Heiman, the agent up and coming in the industry. I
3:22
Speaker 1: hear it quite well for theself. If you are looking,
3:25
Speaker 1: it's a beautiful home. It's it's a four for you.
3:28
Speaker 1: Look at the space and the size three hundred square
3:31
Speaker 1: three hundred three thousand square feet, six bedroom, five hundred
3:36
Speaker 1: and forty four. Now that's a yes, that's a good
3:39
Speaker 1: I mean again, you mentioned the flexibility and versatility. That's
3:42
Speaker 1: a really really nice nice home. Matt's telephon number six,
3:45
Speaker 1: So eight three four seven forty one ninety six. That's
3:49
Speaker 1: three four seven forty one nine six, say Matt, I
3:51
Speaker 1: want to check out that beautiful house on Chickeny Drive.
3:54
Speaker 1: Matt would love to do that for you. And started
3:57
Speaker 1: off our conversation mentioning the markets market. It's are busy,
4:00
Speaker 1: busy as always, a lot of houses sold in a
4:04
Speaker 1: lot of markets. Also, new listings are i'd say steady,
4:07
Speaker 1: although it seems like Dane County much a little more
4:12
Speaker 1: consistent than Rock. Am I reading that correctly?
4:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's been a little bit of tightening in the market.
4:17
Speaker 3: I'd say, right, you know, spring comes out, you have
4:20
Speaker 3: a bunch of new listings, and then those new listings
4:23
Speaker 3: get sold off pretty quickly.
4:24
Speaker 2: I think that's what we're seeing here.
4:25
Speaker 3: So yeah, we like to update everybody kind of on
4:27
Speaker 3: a monthly basis as far as what the market's doing.
4:30
Speaker 3: And for Dane County in May there were six hundred
4:33
Speaker 3: and fifty one new listings and that was actually a
4:36
Speaker 3: drop of three percent year over year, so we had
4:40
Speaker 3: fewer listings hitting the market this year in Dane County
4:44
Speaker 3: versus last year in May. And then in Rock County
4:47
Speaker 3: here at two hundred and twenty three new listings and
4:49
Speaker 3: that's actually a drop of eleven percent, so a little
4:52
Speaker 3: more significant as far as new listings coming on the market.
4:55
Speaker 1: With that, it signifies to me, if you've been looking
4:57
Speaker 1: to sell your home, list your home, it's a good
5:00
Speaker 1: you start seeing those numbers, it's probably good time to
5:03
Speaker 1: get off the fence and get that get that house
5:05
Speaker 1: in the market, isn't it. Yeah.
5:06
Speaker 3: What's interesting is even though we have a fewer new listings,
5:09
Speaker 3: we actually had an increase in both counties for actual
5:12
Speaker 3: number of homes are homes sold right So we had
5:15
Speaker 3: four hundred eighty nine homes sold in Dane County and
5:17
Speaker 3: that was actually up eight percent compared to twenty twenty
5:21
Speaker 3: four and one hundred and seventy four sold in Rock County,
5:24
Speaker 3: which was up five percent. So it's kind of telling
5:27
Speaker 3: me that we had a lot of new listings probably
5:29
Speaker 3: in March in April compared to the year before, and
5:33
Speaker 3: a lot of those got accepted offers right away.
5:35
Speaker 1: Which is great news. It's a it's a really good
5:37
Speaker 1: time as we talk with Matt Heyman of Rock Realty.
5:39
Speaker 1: Great time if you're looking to buy, looking to list
5:41
Speaker 1: your home, great day to have that conversation. Learn more
5:43
Speaker 1: online Rock Wisconsin dot com. Even better, pick up the
5:45
Speaker 1: phone six eight six seven three fifty four hundred. That's
5:48
Speaker 1: six oh eight six seven three fifty four hundred. All
5:51
Speaker 1: that information is well available at Rock Wisconsin dot com.
5:55
Speaker 1: Median prices of home sold in Dane in Rock County
5:57
Speaker 1: do we normally see that wide of a discrepancy between
6:01
Speaker 1: the two markets. That that to me, and maybe it's
6:03
Speaker 1: it's just dealing with numbers, but that seems to be
6:06
Speaker 1: a pretty uh and it gives you some options for
6:09
Speaker 1: sure if you're looking to buy, doesn't it.
6:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting.
6:11
Speaker 3: You know, you see different monthly swings between the counties,
6:15
Speaker 3: if you will.
6:16
Speaker 2: But Dan County is fairly steady.
6:19
Speaker 3: You know, for the most part, we've been seeing a
6:21
Speaker 3: lot of three percent to six percent kind of increases
6:23
Speaker 3: year over year. This last month, the median price of
6:27
Speaker 3: a home sold was four hundred and ninety two thousand,
6:30
Speaker 3: which was only up zero point four percent, So a
6:34
Speaker 3: little bit of a leveling out in Dane County, which
6:36
Speaker 3: is which is healthy, and it's good to see a
6:38
Speaker 3: little more balance between buyers and sellers. In Rock County,
6:42
Speaker 3: I think people are still out there looking for, you know,
6:45
Speaker 3: some affordability. They had done to Rock County and that
6:48
Speaker 3: medium price was two hundred and seventy six thousand dollars
6:52
Speaker 3: and that was up six percent from last year, So
6:56
Speaker 3: a little higher increase in Rock County. Still Stilleople heading
7:00
Speaker 3: down that way, we'lling to travel the extra thirty thirty
7:02
Speaker 3: five minutes, right, Yeah, maybe a little more, but just
7:06
Speaker 3: to get that affordability.
7:07
Speaker 1: I always talk about that it's thirty minutes from my
7:09
Speaker 1: front door to the and we're in Fitchburg, so we're
7:11
Speaker 1: you know, kind of on the south side of Madison,
7:13
Speaker 1: but not a not a bad drive, not a bad commute.
7:16
Speaker 1: Some great options as well as you know, whether you're
7:18
Speaker 1: looking Dane County, Rock County, some really nice stuff and
7:21
Speaker 1: thinking about checking out home. May you're thinking of listing
7:23
Speaker 1: your home. Great day to pick up phone gam a
7:25
Speaker 1: call at Rock Realty six eight six seven three fifty
7:27
Speaker 1: four hundred. That's six o' eight six seven three fifty
7:29
Speaker 1: four hundred before we dig in more on the details.
7:31
Speaker 1: So as we're talking about about a market update and
7:34
Speaker 1: buying and selling and listing homes, really great website you
7:38
Speaker 1: have with a really great promotion you have going on
7:40
Speaker 1: right now, rocklistings dot Com. That's rocklistings dot com. Let's
7:45
Speaker 1: talk about if you are listing with Rock Realty or
7:47
Speaker 1: your or you're buying, you have a great, great promotion
7:51
Speaker 1: going on with totally spaced out, don't you.
7:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, totally spaced out as a mobile storage solution, right,
7:56
Speaker 3: so they'll deliver either sixteen foot, twenty foot or twenty
8:00
Speaker 3: four foot containers to your house, throw it in the
8:04
Speaker 3: driveway or out on the road if you don't have
8:06
Speaker 3: the room forward or they said they'd even put it
8:09
Speaker 3: on the yard if you needed to. So I thought
8:11
Speaker 3: that was interesting. Yeah, and take your time to fill
8:14
Speaker 3: it up. On this Cambridge listing the seller took advantage
8:16
Speaker 3: of that.
8:17
Speaker 1: Oh I bet they did, and probably need a couple
8:19
Speaker 1: for that square footage.
8:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and you want to keep it.
8:22
Speaker 3: You want to keep a house stage still, but you
8:24
Speaker 3: don't want it to be cluttered, right, So they went
8:26
Speaker 3: through and got rid of a few items and put
8:28
Speaker 3: them in the trailer.
8:29
Speaker 2: And then they picked up the trailer.
8:30
Speaker 3: They store it down in Edguton during the listing period
8:33
Speaker 3: and when they're ready to move, they're they're going to
8:35
Speaker 3: bring it to the new house. So we've had some
8:37
Speaker 3: great feedback, you know, we've had almost every single client
8:41
Speaker 3: that we've we've there's taken advantage of this this free
8:45
Speaker 3: promotion that we're doing. They've left reviews on Totally spaced
8:49
Speaker 3: Out's website, on our website there, they've just been really happy.
8:52
Speaker 3: So I think it's a great great partnership and a
8:54
Speaker 3: great opportunity for people.
8:55
Speaker 1: You mentioned staging two and the importance role that it
8:58
Speaker 1: plays and having this option is the ability to kind
9:00
Speaker 1: of declutter spaces. I mean, we live in our houses
9:03
Speaker 1: day to day, and you know we all accumulate stuff. Sure,
9:07
Speaker 1: so it's a fact that having that that also that
9:09
Speaker 1: option is not only as it is. I always think
9:12
Speaker 1: about because I'm you know, I'm like everybody think about myself,
9:15
Speaker 1: which is like, oh, it would be so great because
9:16
Speaker 1: I can move leisurely and those kind of things. What
9:18
Speaker 1: I often forget is it makes your house more appealing
9:22
Speaker 1: and makes it more more likely to get you that
9:25
Speaker 1: gets you what you're looking to get out of it.
9:27
Speaker 1: It's a win win for you, isn't it.
9:28
Speaker 2: Yeah? Absolutely am.
9:29
Speaker 3: You know I usually tell clients that you know, don't
9:32
Speaker 3: have this mobile storage option.
9:33
Speaker 2: That you know, people are a little more forgiving.
9:36
Speaker 3: Or you throw things in the garage, they're not expecting
9:38
Speaker 3: that to be clean and uncluttered.
9:40
Speaker 2: But to have the ability to have your garage wide open,
9:42
Speaker 2: it would be good.
9:43
Speaker 3: I know my family tells me I'm not allowed to
9:45
Speaker 3: move again because.
9:46
Speaker 2: Of all that.
9:47
Speaker 1: We really yes, yes, that is a good thing. And
9:51
Speaker 1: so if you are in that position, you can always,
9:53
Speaker 1: of course work with Matt and the team at Rock
9:55
Speaker 1: Realty get that storage you and and do it a
9:57
Speaker 1: little leisurely and start to kind of get yourself out
10:00
Speaker 1: of this stuff. And again all the details online rocklistings
10:03
Speaker 1: dot Com. That's rocklistings dot Com. So as we go
10:07
Speaker 1: through some of these market updates and some of these
10:09
Speaker 1: market numbers year to date and and some of this stuff,
10:12
Speaker 1: I do find like there were actually and this is
10:16
Speaker 1: just an outliar, so it caught my attention, is there
10:19
Speaker 1: are houses that sold for less than one hundred thousand
10:21
Speaker 1: dollars and are those like, Okay, what is is that
10:24
Speaker 1: like a foreclosure? What do we know? Like, how does
10:28
Speaker 1: like a family transfer of property?
10:30
Speaker 3: Well, you know what's interesting is like there's almost price
10:33
Speaker 3: points for everything depending on where that's true, right, and
10:36
Speaker 3: I do believe these are these ones are statewide stats.
10:39
Speaker 2: Okay, so the majority of.
10:41
Speaker 3: Your homes are selling in the four to five hundred
10:44
Speaker 3: thousand dollars range, which is what a lot of people
10:46
Speaker 3: are seeing when they're searching online. You know, second highest
10:49
Speaker 3: bracket is three hundred to four hundred. But yeah, there's
10:51
Speaker 3: there's still some that are selling less and uh, you know,
10:55
Speaker 3: I mean, heck, we've got to we've got to you know, a.
10:59
Speaker 2: Trailer for sale form thirty five thousand.
11:01
Speaker 3: I mean yeah, so you know everything from you know
11:04
Speaker 3: a million or higher and you can.
11:06
Speaker 2: Still find some affordability. But uh, yeah, does that.
11:10
Speaker 1: When when we look at these numbers and just that
11:11
Speaker 1: that it's it's interesting, it kind of makes that like
11:14
Speaker 1: perfect Bell curve with the with the peak being that
11:17
Speaker 1: four hundred to five hundred thousand dollars and then kind
11:19
Speaker 1: of almost like the perfect traditional Bell curve? Is it
11:23
Speaker 1: when you work with an agent, and I'm thinking specifically
11:26
Speaker 1: if you're looking to buy, are there certain agents that
11:29
Speaker 1: are maybe a little a little more experience or a
11:32
Speaker 1: little bit more in the world of certain price points
11:36
Speaker 1: like you mentioned for example, you got a got a
11:38
Speaker 1: six thousand dollars or sixty thousand dollars trailer lot that
11:42
Speaker 1: type of thing versus like a million dollar home. Is
11:45
Speaker 1: it is that one of those things where you want
11:46
Speaker 1: to really find that right agent for what you're looking for,
11:48
Speaker 1: and in that in that realm, I.
11:50
Speaker 3: Think it can make a difference. You know, if you
11:52
Speaker 3: have an agent that has worked at a certain price
11:55
Speaker 3: level for you know, a certain amount of time. Yeah,
11:59
Speaker 3: they'll have a through to a clientele basis that's right
12:03
Speaker 3: for that price point. So I think I think there
12:05
Speaker 3: is something to be said there. You know, a lot
12:07
Speaker 3: of it has to do with just marketing as well.
12:09
Speaker 3: You know, and whether a listings you know, a million
12:12
Speaker 3: dollars or it's three hundred thousand dollars, if it's marketed well,
12:16
Speaker 3: you'll you'll get a get a buyer client.
12:18
Speaker 1: And I know, and we've talked about what you guys
12:20
Speaker 1: do at Rock Realty is the importance of marketing listings
12:23
Speaker 1: is letting people know what's out there is Obviously you've
12:26
Speaker 1: got a great website, you do the radio show, you've
12:28
Speaker 1: got other other avenues. Really getting that exposure to your
12:32
Speaker 1: home really does bring in great value, doesn't it. Yeah.
12:37
Speaker 3: You know, something that I've always kind of concentrated on
12:39
Speaker 3: and building the marketing plan that we have is what
12:43
Speaker 3: can we do above and beyond just listing it on
12:45
Speaker 3: the MLS, right, And you know, for a number of
12:49
Speaker 3: years now that we've we've done social media marketing where
12:51
Speaker 3: we've putting paid ad dollars and you know, do a
12:54
Speaker 3: geographic kind of ring around your property. What that's going
12:57
Speaker 3: to do, It's going to get in front of people
12:59
Speaker 3: that didn't know they were in the market. I don't
13:00
Speaker 3: know how many times we bought something that we didn't
13:04
Speaker 3: know we were actually in the market for, whether it's
13:05
Speaker 3: a car or something else. And this puts the listing
13:08
Speaker 3: in front of people that aren't on Zillow, aren't on
13:10
Speaker 3: realtor dot com, right, and maybe they're telling their niece
13:13
Speaker 3: or their nephew about this listing that they saw online.
13:16
Speaker 2: And you know that's important.
13:17
Speaker 3: I think that you know, you can get as large
13:19
Speaker 3: of an organic and paid social media sphere to get
13:23
Speaker 3: as many buyers as you can to a property.
13:25
Speaker 1: How did you hear from people? And I this is
13:27
Speaker 1: something that goes on in the prebowl vehicles as we
13:29
Speaker 1: drive around. My wife will say, if that house ever
13:32
Speaker 1: goes up for sale, do you guys here people saying
13:34
Speaker 1: we've kind of had our eye on this particular house
13:36
Speaker 1: for a while, and yeah.
13:37
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah.
13:38
Speaker 3: There are will definitely get inquiries from people that said,
13:41
Speaker 3: you know, hey, this this is the one we've been
13:43
Speaker 3: waiting for, We're only interested in this one, and we
13:47
Speaker 3: finally get to go see.

Speaker 1: this morning for the month of May, the most at
15:00
Speaker 1: numbers available, and we talked about the new listings number
15:04
Speaker 1: sold medium price. We haven't talked about days on market.
15:07
Speaker 1: That's is that that's right around what about a month
15:11
Speaker 1: on the market right now.
15:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it stayed pretty consistent year for the
15:15
Speaker 3: past few months. I think days on market over the
15:18
Speaker 3: winter increased a bit, right because everybody hunkers down, Yes,
15:21
Speaker 3: all right, but currently we're looking at thirty days average
15:25
Speaker 3: on the market in Dane County and that's actually down
15:28
Speaker 3: six percent, and I know it jumped above thirty days
15:32
Speaker 3: for a little bit there. So yeah, the market's pretty
15:35
Speaker 3: hot there in Dane County, but even hotter in Rock County.
15:37
Speaker 3: As we kind of mentioned earlier, you're sitting at thirty
15:40
Speaker 3: four days in the market, which is down fifteen percent,
15:43
Speaker 3: So I mean it looks like it's down a good
15:45
Speaker 3: five days. So over the summer, everybody headed down I
15:49
Speaker 3: ninety four and checked out Rock County.
15:52
Speaker 1: Because they did, Yes, they did. I was going to
15:54
Speaker 1: ask you too about as we're getting into summer months
15:58
Speaker 1: and we're into June, mid June already you mentioned, of
16:01
Speaker 1: course we think about real estate. People do tend to
16:04
Speaker 1: hunker down to be in the winter months. A lot
16:06
Speaker 1: of activity going on as we speak, day in and
16:08
Speaker 1: day out. It's a really important time think about listing
16:10
Speaker 1: your home. It's a really important time to start that conversation.
16:14
Speaker 1: And one of the ways I know at Rock Real
16:16
Speaker 1: Teeth that we talked about staging and some of the
16:18
Speaker 1: other things that you guys do. Photographer and pictures and
16:21
Speaker 1: the photos that are shared on social media and other platforms.
16:25
Speaker 1: They really do make a really big difference, don't they.
16:28
Speaker 2: No, they do.
16:28
Speaker 3: And you know, a photographer we've partnered with is very particular, right,
16:33
Speaker 3: and that's what I love. He'll take his time going
16:35
Speaker 3: through there, just making sure he's setting up everything right,
16:37
Speaker 3: making sure the lighting's right, yeah, making sure he's capturing
16:40
Speaker 3: everything everything in the yard, and like you are listing
16:43
Speaker 3: here in the landscaping. I really love the landscaping photos
16:46
Speaker 3: he did. So it's important to have a photographer that
16:48
Speaker 3: you know, that cares and so yeah, we definitely found
16:52
Speaker 3: the right partner there.
16:53
Speaker 1: And with that, and I talk about it's always fun
16:55
Speaker 1: when you go to rock Wisconsin dot com again, even
16:57
Speaker 1: if you're not looking, I love checking out the photos.
17:00
Speaker 1: That's really where the where the payoff is is. You know,
17:03
Speaker 1: you'll get people that will start scrolling through there and go,
17:06
Speaker 1: you know what, I love this house. There's something about
17:09
Speaker 1: this house that speaks to me. And it'll really it'll
17:12
Speaker 1: really spur engagement and and maybe sales.
17:15
Speaker 2: Yeah.
17:16
Speaker 3: I mean, it's more important than ever to display the
17:19
Speaker 3: property correctly.
17:20
Speaker 2: Right.
17:21
Speaker 3: So it used to be people would, you know, choose five, six,
17:24
Speaker 3: seven properties to go see over a weekend. You know,
17:27
Speaker 3: due to the fact that we have so many pictures
17:30
Speaker 3: and so much information out there, people are able to
17:32
Speaker 3: narrow it down a bit and they're seeing fewer homes
17:35
Speaker 3: because they've already said, hey, you know, I have an
17:37
Speaker 3: idea of what this other house looks like because of
17:39
Speaker 3: all the photos or so to get as many people
17:42
Speaker 3: through the front door, you really want to make sure
17:43
Speaker 3: that you're putting your best product out there online.
17:46
Speaker 1: Our agent's pretty good at Rock. I know they're great
17:48
Speaker 1: at Rock Realty? Are they good at at also kind
17:51
Speaker 1: of identifying characteristics of what a potential buyer is looking for,
17:55
Speaker 1: like as as somebody that that may be looking to
17:57
Speaker 1: buy a home. I don't always know exactly what it
18:00
Speaker 1: is I want, but I can I know what when
18:02
Speaker 1: I see it is that like I think of, like
18:04
Speaker 1: some of the great skills and that that may may
18:06
Speaker 1: not be obvious or necessarily even quantifiable about a good agent.
18:11
Speaker 1: That's got to be one of them, isn't it.
18:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that, you know, one of the things
18:14
Speaker 3: that's kind of missed is you know, the fact that
18:17
Speaker 3: agents can assist in different things like you know, the neighborhood,
18:21
Speaker 3: let's say, and and knowing you know, maybe that there's
18:25
Speaker 3: a highway near there that that maybe, you know, maybe
18:29
Speaker 3: suggesting a whole different town that they weren't thinking about.
18:31
Speaker 3: I know one of my clients in the past thought
18:34
Speaker 3: they were looking at Madison. They ended up on the
18:36
Speaker 3: lake a little further south right, you know, because I suggested, Hey,
18:39
Speaker 3: this this matches it, and uh and you.
18:42
Speaker 2: Also get the lake life out of it at the
18:43
Speaker 2: same price. Right.
18:44
Speaker 3: So you know, a good agent will be able to
18:47
Speaker 3: suggest things that might be outside of their box that
18:49
Speaker 3: you know, their little their search parameters online might not
18:52
Speaker 3: have identified.
18:53
Speaker 1: I know a really good agent. His name is Matt Heytman.
