5:26
Speaker 1: well online Rock Wisconsin dot com. That's Rock ro O
5:29
Speaker 1: c K Wisconsin dot com. So getting a market update.
5:34
Speaker 1: We got the numbers now from April and uh, kind
5:37
Speaker 1: of mixed, a little bit of this, a little bit
5:39
Speaker 1: of that, and that's I think. Sometimes when you say
5:43
Speaker 1: it's mixed, people are like, oh, that must be a
5:45
Speaker 1: bad thing. It's not. It's actually quite advantageous right now,
5:48
Speaker 1: isn't it. No.
5:48
Speaker 2: I think it's a good thing. I think that for
5:50
Speaker 2: a long time we saw the numbers go in just
5:52
Speaker 2: one particular way. Yeah, yeah, I think that every April
5:57
Speaker 2: and May you know, is busy in this area in
6:01
Speaker 2: Wisconsin in general as people come out of the thaw.
6:06
Speaker 1: But yeah, some of the numbers we're seeing here I.
6:08
Speaker 2: Really like, and you know, it was a bit surprising,
6:13
Speaker 2: I guess. Starting off was the number of new listings
6:16
Speaker 2: that are hitting in the market. Now understand these are
6:19
Speaker 2: comparisons to twenty twenty four. In April, right, So in
6:23
Speaker 2: Dane County we had seven hundred and eight new listings
6:26
Speaker 2: and that was an actual increase of nineteen percent.
6:29
Speaker 1: Wow, year over year to year. Yeah, year over year,
6:32
Speaker 1: So that's good.
6:33
Speaker 2: I mean, one of the biggest problems for the last
6:36
Speaker 2: number of years was just not having enough inventory on
6:39
Speaker 2: the market, and I think this bodes well for buyers
6:42
Speaker 2: and I think that they have a few more options
6:45
Speaker 2: than they did last year. In Rock County we had
6:48
Speaker 2: two hundred and six new listings and that was up
6:50
Speaker 2: ten percent.
6:51
Speaker 1: So both of.
6:52
Speaker 2: Them have an increase in inventory, which is a good thing.
6:56
Speaker 1: I think that is really really good to see. And
6:58
Speaker 1: as you look at obviously, as you mentioned in April
7:00
Speaker 1: is where things really start to pick up. And of course,
7:03
Speaker 1: now that we're into May and looking towards summer months
7:06
Speaker 1: and as that school year starts to wind down, I
7:08
Speaker 1: know there are a lot of families that are looking
7:10
Speaker 1: to get some deals done now, so when the summer
7:13
Speaker 1: vacation rolls around, great timing on the move and to
7:16
Speaker 1: see that that the listings are up month a year
7:19
Speaker 1: over year, it's pretty encouraging. Then the sale numbers, that
7:24
Speaker 1: is an interesting area. Obviously, more listings and more opportunity
7:28
Speaker 1: out there. A little bit mixed when it comes to
7:30
Speaker 1: sales being closed between Rock and Dane County, isn't there. Yeah?
7:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, In Dane County we saw a bit a small
7:39
Speaker 2: drop and then a number of homes that were actually sold.
7:41
Speaker 1: In April it is down two point five percent.
7:44
Speaker 2: With three hundred and ninety sold, so three hundred ninety closings.
7:49
Speaker 2: In Rock County it was up five percent, so one
7:51
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty sold, and kind of you know, what
7:54
Speaker 2: that says to me is a more leveling out of
7:56
Speaker 2: the market and we're seeing seeing different things in different
7:59
Speaker 2: county That means that, you know, we're starting to see
8:02
Speaker 2: a little more balanced.
8:03
Speaker 1: I was gonna say this that we think about the
8:05
Speaker 1: value of your agent, whether it's your listing or your
8:08
Speaker 1: buyer's agent, when we see things like that. As far
8:11
Speaker 1: as and as we talk, you know, every market is unique,
8:14
Speaker 1: every every month is unique, Every year is a little
8:17
Speaker 1: bit different. Obviously, every family, every buyer is a little
8:21
Speaker 1: bit different as well. Seeing that stuff and seeing some
8:24
Speaker 1: of those those changing numbers, it kind of reinforces the
8:27
Speaker 1: value of having a really really good agent to get
8:31
Speaker 1: those deals done and get those houses sold or get
8:33
Speaker 1: those get the house purchased for you, doesn't it.
8:35
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's more important than ever. I think
8:37
Speaker 2: that you know, at this point, it used to be,
8:39
Speaker 2: you know, in the last few years, I'll say last three,
8:41
Speaker 2: three to four years, even you could throw your house.
8:44
Speaker 1: In the market at any price, sure.
8:46
Speaker 2: And you know you'd be getting asking or maybe slightly over,
8:49
Speaker 2: and it just all dependent on what price. But at
8:52
Speaker 2: this point it's very important to get your house listed
8:55
Speaker 2: at the right price.
8:56
Speaker 1: Right.
8:56
Speaker 2: We've had years of equity built up right, so the there,
9:00
Speaker 2: but you need to make sure you list it for
9:02
Speaker 2: the ray price and look at the market before you
9:04
Speaker 2: throw there on the market, and make sure you get
9:06
Speaker 2: some showings.
9:07
Speaker 1: During that time. There was the point where I legitimately
9:10
Speaker 1: asked Christina, I said, can we just list our house
9:11
Speaker 1: for like an extreme amount of money just to see it? Right? Well,
9:15
Speaker 1: that's what I said.
9:15
Speaker 2: Anybody can list their house for a million dollars.
9:17
Speaker 1: Yes, And by the way, it just takes one potential buyer. No,
9:21
Speaker 1: maybe they'll come from Ellanis, Yes, exactly, exactly talking this
9:25
Speaker 1: morning with Matt i Even of Rock Realty Online Rock

9:42
Speaker 1: to listing your home. Having a place to put that
9:44
Speaker 1: stuff cuts down on the chaos of moving to also
9:47
Speaker 1: allows to kind of declutter a bit for some of
9:49
Speaker 1: those showings. And of course all of this ultimately translates
9:52
Speaker 1: to a less stressful move but also a higher price
9:55
Speaker 1: when it comes to what you're getting for your house.
9:57
Speaker 1: So exactly get a chance to see it. Then it's

10:09
Speaker 1: Care of it. That's that is. That is always a liberating,
10:13
Speaker 1: fantastic day. Although there happen days, Matt where I've thought

10:37
Speaker 1: dot com. That's ro c K Wisconsin dot com getting
10:40
Speaker 1: a market update for April of twenty twenty five. Property
10:44
Speaker 1: values continue to go up. Now, it's it's kind of
10:48
Speaker 1: moderated a bit, but there's there's money in real estate,
10:52
Speaker 1: isn't there.
10:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, even if the market is slightly leveling out,
10:55
Speaker 2: I mean, we've got increases in both counties that are
10:58
Speaker 2: still significant year over year. In Dane County we saw
11:01
Speaker 2: a thirteen percent increase year over years. That's big numbers,
11:06
Speaker 2: especially when the median price was four hundred and eighty
11:09
Speaker 2: nine thousand, nine hundred.
11:11
Speaker 1: Wow.
11:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we're looking at, you know, fifty thousand
11:14
Speaker 2: dollars increase. In Rock County it was a fifteen percent
11:19
Speaker 2: increase with a median price of two hundred and sixty
11:22
Speaker 2: thousand dollars.
11:23
Speaker 1: So now, as we were talking to as we started
11:26
Speaker 1: our conversation off this morning in our featured listing, what
11:30
Speaker 1: I love to see about when we talk about some
11:32
Speaker 1: of these some of these houses of values and kind
11:34
Speaker 1: of where the markets have been going, there is for
11:37
Speaker 1: anybody out there, there is a great opportunity, whether you're
11:40
Speaker 1: looking for that kind of that starter home that sub
11:43
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand, or if you're somebody who you know,
11:45
Speaker 1: you start getting up to half million dollar home. I
11:47
Speaker 1: think for a lot of folks that's kind of would
11:50
Speaker 1: I would view as kind of like the pinnacle is,
11:52
Speaker 1: like that is the dream home you've always dreamed of.
11:54
Speaker 1: People say, well, how do you get there? Well, you
11:56
Speaker 1: start typically with that starter home and build equity and
12:00
Speaker 1: then you say, okay, the time to move on. There's
12:02
Speaker 1: really something for everybody out there right now, isn't there? Yeah?
12:05
Speaker 2: There is? And yeah, I'm glad you bring that up
12:07
Speaker 2: because you know, just you know, taking a glance at
12:09
Speaker 2: our listings just yesterday, you know, in general we service
12:14
Speaker 2: every level right at Rock Realty, and the lowest level
12:18
Speaker 2: I think we have something listed under forty thousand dollars,
12:21
Speaker 2: which is a trailer, right, Yeah, So you have to
12:23
Speaker 2: start somewhere, yeah, and you can go from that. You
12:26
Speaker 2: can go on up to this condo at one ninety
12:28
Speaker 2: five that we talked about, you know, the single family
12:31
Speaker 2: homes around three hundred and continuing level up. I mean,
12:34
Speaker 2: you know you've got listings for one point two million, right,
12:37
Speaker 2: So it's you know, it's it's a process throughout your
12:40
Speaker 2: life that you can kind of build equity and kind
12:42
Speaker 2: of level up every time you move.
12:44
Speaker 1: And we talked about work with the good agents at
12:46
Speaker 1: Rock Realty. The other thing I really like is, and
12:49
Speaker 1: you know we've talked about the Wisconsin buyer agent website

12:59
Speaker 1: to working with somebody finding that right home. And again,
13:02
Speaker 1: whether you're looking at a you know, a multi million
13:05

13:32

15:49
Speaker 1: Before we do get to this week's featured listening, Matt
15:53
Speaker 1: just kind of going through the market numbers. Days on
15:56
Speaker 1: market is still still pretty and I'm seeing no change
16:01
Speaker 1: year over year. Still pretty if you're a seller, I
16:05
Speaker 1: mean you got to love those love those numbers. But
16:07
Speaker 1: again going back to working with a good agent as
16:10
Speaker 1: a buyer as well, because that that helps in this process.
16:12
Speaker 1: What are we seeing there, Yeah, I mean it's it's
16:14
Speaker 1: remaining steady, which which is kind of the signs of
16:16
Speaker 1: a good a good market, a good balanced market. You know,
16:21
Speaker 1: it's not.
16:22
Speaker 2: Under a month like it it was for a few
16:24
Speaker 2: years there. But in Dane County you're looking at thirty
16:27
Speaker 2: three days on the market. As an average and forty
16:31
Speaker 2: days on the market in Rock County, so you know
16:35
Speaker 2: there there are at least, you know, a few days
16:38
Speaker 2: for you to see a number of homes before you
16:41
Speaker 2: have to make a decision. So, yes, it was always
16:43
Speaker 2: something that just really bugged me was that buyers had
16:46
Speaker 2: to just x so quickly after just seeing one house
16:49
Speaker 2: versus being able to kind of shop a little. And
16:52
Speaker 2: it's nice seeing that they at least have maybe maybe
16:55
Speaker 2: a week, maybe maybe.
16:56
Speaker 1: Two weeks to take a look at a few properties. Yeah, exactly.
17:00
Speaker 1: But you know, we were talking before we get to
17:01
Speaker 1: this week's feature listing. You and I were talking during
17:03
Speaker 1: the break just about folks who whether looking to buy
17:07
Speaker 1: a home or a move up home. You know, you
17:09
Speaker 1: and I were talking about like our own personal experiences.
17:11
Speaker 1: We're still in the first house we ever bought. We
17:13
Speaker 1: absolutely love it. But I remember, and I know, you know,
17:17
Speaker 1: I hear from young people a lot as like houses
17:19
Speaker 1: are expensive, How do I get in? How do I start?
17:22
Speaker 1: That's not new that because I was telling you that
17:25
Speaker 1: was how we felt. Is when we bought our house.
17:27
Speaker 1: It was like gosh, there's you know, it's it's expensive.
17:30
Speaker 1: I mean, we're talking one hundred thousand dollars, which at
17:33
Speaker 1: the time just and then you were talking to about
17:37
Speaker 1: as you know, you work with people and personally, you know,
17:39
Speaker 1: move up those type of things. I will say, having
17:44
Speaker 1: gone through it, not only no regret, I would actually
17:48
Speaker 1: very much regret having not done it when I thought
17:51
Speaker 1: it was the right time. And the same thing with
17:53
Speaker 1: move up property as well, Matt, as you think about
17:56
Speaker 1: there's always that that little thing or something going is
17:59
Speaker 1: this going to be? Okay, It's going to be And
18:00
Speaker 1: then you get into and you're like, this was the
18:02
Speaker 1: best decision I've ever made, Like, like it is really
18:06
Speaker 1: a good conversation to start in a good journey to
18:10
Speaker 1: get on when it comes to real estate, isn't it. Yeah?
18:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's it's hard to feel one hundred
18:15
Speaker 2: percent competent when you're making such a large purpose, right,
18:18
Speaker 2: and you know us personally, like we started, yeah with
18:22
Speaker 2: a side by side duplex, right and uh or we
18:25
Speaker 2: rented out the one side and lived in the other,
18:27
Speaker 2: and you know that was a big scary move, right,
18:31
Speaker 2: and at least we had the income from the other
18:33
Speaker 2: side to help out. Right. The second second move we
18:35
Speaker 2: know was you know, into a single family home where
18:37
Speaker 2: we were no longer going to have that rent, right,
18:40
Speaker 2: So that was a scary move, right And and then
18:42
Speaker 2: our last one was going to a larger house, and that.
18:44
Speaker 1: Was probably the scariest move, you know.
18:46
Speaker 2: And so even even with me in real estate, you know,
18:49
Speaker 2: I have the I have the same feelings and everybody does.
18:51
Speaker 1: And you know what on this last.
18:53
Speaker 2: Purchase, especially what I did was I looked back like
18:56
Speaker 2: you were talking about, and I said, you know, after
18:59
Speaker 2: the fat how did I feel? And every single time
19:03
Speaker 2: I felt great about that purchase after the fact, right,
19:06
Speaker 2: you know, between the improved family life, you know, better
19:10
Speaker 2: location and larger home, you know, built up equity. Every time,
19:14
Speaker 2: you know, in the moment, it it definitely gives you
19:17
Speaker 2: the jitters. But you know, to anybody looking to get
19:21
Speaker 2: into this for the first time or maybe looking to
19:24
Speaker 2: level up for the first time, just know that if
19:27
Speaker 2: you have the right people on your side, and you're
19:30
Speaker 2: you're confident that you're making the purchase at the right
19:32
Speaker 2: price and the condition of the property is correct for you,
19:36
Speaker 2: that it's you know, generally it's the right move.
19:39
Speaker 1: And that's one of the things too, I love about
19:41
Speaker 1: about Rock Realty and what you guys do. It's not
19:42
