  Speaker 1: big phone. Give Chris call six eight eight eight six
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: sixty six hundred. That's eight eight six sixty six hundred
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: and uh in Matt For the month of February, the
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: numbers just came out and uh looking pretty good, and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: let's kind of lead with with where mortgage rates are
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: and uh people are are. That's definitely causing people to
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: take action, isn't it.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: I mean we kind of knew that rates would start
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: to slowly fall, and that's exactly what they've done is
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: kind of slowly fall. We did see rates kind of
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: peek into you know, the upper fives for a moment there,
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: but uh, you know, for the for the full month,
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: they averaged six point five percent for rates, and that's
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: a that's a big decrease, about zero point eight decrease
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: from where it was earlier in the year at around
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: six point eight five, so it was a lot closer
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: to seven.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: And people get they start they start watching this time
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: last year, we should say that as soon as they
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: see those numbers, people start going. It literally can be
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: five nine, nine, Yeah, the five I got, Yeah, there
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: you go.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: We said we'd wait till the five, Yes, exactly.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: So it's it's a really good, really good number there
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: to see things moving in the right direction.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: On new listings.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Also, speaking of things moving in the right direction, people
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: are taking action.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: They are they are listing homes, aren't they, Matt.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we had a strange kind of a downturn just
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: in the month of January where we had fewer new listings,
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: but in February that pop back up, So it was
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: a four point six percent over the last twelve months,
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: so you know, back to positive territory and that you know,
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: I think it's twenty eight out of twenty nine straight
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: months we've had growth, oh in new listings, so that's
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: kind of helped to slowly even out the field.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: But it still is.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Technically a seller's market. We're just sitting at three months
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: of available supply for all the buyers that are out there,
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: and six months is considered balanced. So you know, a
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: lot of my agents are are stating that they're they're
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: competing against other offers again, and that's telltale mark that
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: we're we're back in spring.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Yes we are. Tis the season.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: And if you were one of those folks and say,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm holding off to list or I'm
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: holding off to look now is that time?
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: It is springtime? Right now?
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Great time pickuphon't give them a call. Six o eight
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: six seven three fifty four hundred for Rock Realty six
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: oh eight six seven, three fifty four hundred. I mentioned
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: the website rocko Wisconsin dot com. That's rock r O
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: c K Wisconsin dot com. Also rocklistings dot Com that's
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: r O c K listings dot com. Plural of get
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: information there about their great promotion with totally spaced out. So, Matt,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: when we look at some of these some more of
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: these numbers we've got, we've got sales overall down just
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: just a little bit year to date, aren't they.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean home sales fell just a touch, you
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: know where it fell about one point two percent, it
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: was about one point eight percent compared to the first
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: two months of twenty twenty five. But medium price is
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: still going up, so you know, fewer, fewer sales.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Higher prices.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: And that's kind of what we've been seeing consistently for
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: a bit now.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: And we're seeing things a little bit again as we
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: talked earlier about where we are market wise on three
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: point one months, still considered a seller's market. We are
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: seeing houses remain on the on the market a little
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: bit longer, which is which is a good, good direction,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: a healthy direction for things to be going, isn't it.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's it's balancing out, you know, there's
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: for such a long time. It was a it was
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: a matter of a week or two and the thing was,
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: the thing was gone.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's it's.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Good to have a little time to decide on a
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: big purchase like this. And as of in February, we
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: were sitting in about eighty nine days for the state
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: as far as how long you know, houses would set
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: in the market. So yeah, I mean back up to
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: about a three month period. We'll see the data later
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: that Dane in Rock County are much quicker than that.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: But yeah, our February and March traditionally kind of kind
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: of wild cars, just depending into Wisconsin on the weather,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: like if we have like a warm February or a
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: warm March, or conversely, you know one where we get
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: a lot of snow or anything. I've got to guess
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: that out of all of the months, February, March, maybe
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: even April or probably kind of the biggest wild cards,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: just because there's factors beyond our control like weather or
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: am I off on that.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's January and February tend to be the slowest
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: of the year. And then yeah, probably depends on the
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: inches of snowfall.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Or literally the day if you don't like.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: The exactly if it's minus four and not plus four.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Right, which is but I'll point out if you're looking
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: to buy a house, and same for listing, But if
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: you're looking to buy a house, what better you can
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: see at what it's like, how it performs in the
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: bitter cold. You can also see how it looks when
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the snow has melted, and sometimes in the exact same week.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say the best time to go out
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: is after just you you're getting downpoured on. Yeah, go
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: see if you've got any basement issues. You want some showings,
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: take off your shoes when you get in the house.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: You know, obviously it's a little what out, but yeah,
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: go take a look at that basement and see if
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: you got any leaks going on.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Bring your agent along as well. Exactly. They love walking
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: around the house in the pouring round. They all carry umbrellas.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: That's talking this morning, Matt Heyman of Rock Realty Online,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Rock Wisconsin dot com. That's Rock r O c K
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: with Wisconsin dot Com TELF number six O eight six
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: seven three fifty four hundred. That's six eight six seven
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: three fifty four hundred and then some of the some
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: of the kind of big takeaways and some of the
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: other analysis. You know, they we we've heard from folks
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: talking about the Realtors Association talking about an inventory rebound
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: is is kind of I think how they they view
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: it is, is that is that kind of shared throughout
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the market map?
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, and that's part of getting that balancing right.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: The reason that you're seeing houses sit on the market
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: a little longer is because we have more new listings. Yeah,
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: and so yeah, I've really seen an increase. Of course,
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: this happens every spring, but it seems a little a
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: little larger than normal that we're having a lot of
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: new listings hit the market right now. And I think
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: I think sellers are finally getting comfortable with where rates
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: are at and realize, hey, you know, I'll exchange my
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: equity for a slightly higher rate, right.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: And it's what I find interesting about that about that
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: kind of folks that are watching the rate now, I
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: get it. I I My wife is one of those
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: people who literally, you know, if you call her now,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: ask her what an interest rate on a car would
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: be or a new house, She'll tell you, like kind
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: of where it is like she follows that stuff.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Sholl do that with gas prices?
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Oh goodness gracious, yes, Yeah.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: So she has had a lot to talk about lately.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: I think I told you she she literally keeps like
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: spreadsheets of like our energy bills. Yeah, so she'll like
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: every she'll send me the Excel sheet and be like what.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Is going on?
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Like like I have the answer for like why there's
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: more power used? Or why is why the gas prices
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: go down?
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Or who knows that's what it is.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: But my point being is people like her is in
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: their brilliant people, but sometimes they spend so much time.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I'm going to wait for it to drop down and
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: wait for the rate to go down, and and in
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the meantime there is that And I think we touched
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: on it last week or the week before. I think
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: the phrase is the cost of waiting. Is the best
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: time to be to be starting that conversation is today
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: when it comes to looking to buy at home. Obviously,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: once you get information, you can make a decision if
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: today's the day to buy, but to start that conversation,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: you really want to get on it early because it
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: kind of gives you the tools and the understanding of Okay,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: if you do wait for rates to come down, what's
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: going to happen to the prices of housing in the
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: meantime and what does that actually mean for you? I
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: sometimes thinks people spend too much time trying to analyzed
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: data causs to sit on the fence.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Sure, So let's pretend it was.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: February of twenty twenty five, Okay, right, and let's say
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: that you looked at the rates being at like six
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: and a half to six point six percent and you decided.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: I'm going to wait.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: Sure, it's now February twenty twenty six and rates have dropped,
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: but the house price is twenty five thousand dollars more approximately, Right,
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: So if you had bought back in twenty twenty five,
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: you'd refinance now and still have that twenty five thousand
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: dollars worth of equity sitting there.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: It needd be ahead ask you. That's the way to
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: do it.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: And that's again, as we talk with Matt Heyaman of
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Rock Realty, one of the great things about working with
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the agents at Rock Realty is it's not a high

• 13:48
  Speaker 1: of the numbers, Let's talk a little bit about that

  Speaker 1: because I think one of the biggest things that folks
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: sometimes encounter were talking earlier about some of the things
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: that hold us back from getting information or taking action.
• 14:00

  Speaker 1: at rocklistings dot com. That's rock listings dot Com.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Matt.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Let's talk kind of break down the the housing report
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: for the South Central region, so we had slightly fewer
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: in our region when it comes to closed sales don
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Win in February.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: So you know, it's weird because Dane County and Rock
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: County often separate act differently depending on the month, and
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: in this particular case, we had way more listings in
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: Rock County, but we had one percent fewer listings in
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: Dane County. And if you look at the numbers of solds,
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: Dane County was down just slightly as well, whereas Rock
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: County was up about two percent the number of solds
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: you know, month February twenty six so compared to February
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty five. So I thought, the interesting thing is
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: that you know that Rock County average price and I
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: don't I mean for those of us that were around
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: during the Great Recession, Yeah, it is now above three
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: hundred thousand dollars a house in Rock County.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So do we see a different like different type
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: of buyer for each county? And I guess I feel
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: like there are certain mindsets, like I know some you know,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of us know folks that are
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: like I have to be, And that's I love it.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: I have to be in Dane County. I have to
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: be like in this particular area. And then others are like,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: I've got to get I've got to get what the
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: best deal is, and I'll go. I mean, do we
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: see like a difference between the buyers or sometimes it
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: is somebody that may be looking Rock County ends up
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: in Dane and vice versa.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean a lot of people are having to
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: kind of look outside of Dane County person affordability, you know,
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: the people that don't mind a bit of a drive,
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: or the people that work remotely the majority of the week.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: You know, I would say that sometimes they will then
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: default to which schools are best in Rock County and
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: then decide on, hey, you know, I want to be
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: in this school district, you know, maybe Milton School District,
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: maybe like Beloit Turner a little further south.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: We see a lot of things.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Like that nice school by the way, it was just
• 16:54
