Speaker 1: to get a look at some market numbers. We'll take
0:47
Speaker 1: a look at July the latest numbers out and see
0:49
Speaker 1: kind of how the housing market is doing overall. Some
0:52
Speaker 1: really good information, some great numbers contained within there. But
0:56
Speaker 1: first off, this week's featured listening is a beautiful home
1:00
Speaker 1: down in Janesville and located right at twenty nine nineteen Dartmouth.
1:05
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about this, about this listing,
1:08
Speaker 1: Matt and I am seeing, and I know the kids
1:12
Speaker 1: go wild for this and everybody does. I'm seeing quartz
1:15
Speaker 1: countertops and tile backsplash, it's got it. It's gorgeous to
1:18
Speaker 1: the entire house, but the kitchen is especially lovely.
1:23
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, they definitely did a good job updating the house.
1:26
Speaker 2: I really like the white cabinets. White cabins is kind
1:28
Speaker 2: of a personal fave myself. But yeah, the course countertops
1:32
Speaker 2: and the ceiling lighting. It's just a very attractive house.
1:40
Speaker 2: Kind of a semi open concept main living area with
1:44
Speaker 2: a bit of a dining room off the off the
1:46
Speaker 2: side there. I think it's a really nice layout.
1:48
Speaker 1: It's a really nice layout, really nice looking home. And
1:51
Speaker 1: you mentioned open concept and one of the things that
1:55
Speaker 1: I like about this, and I've noticed a lot of
1:57
Speaker 1: folks there was a brief time there were it was
2:00
Speaker 1: like completely open concept, where like we don't want any
2:03
Speaker 1: interior walls. This house and a lot of houses i've
2:06
Speaker 1: been noticing maintained still so there's still some of that,
2:09
Speaker 1: you know, you know, like where the kitchen is the
2:11
Speaker 1: dining room and those type of areas, but it still
2:13
Speaker 1: has that very open field, so it's not wallless, but
2:17
Speaker 1: really minimized when it comes to some of those spaces.
2:20
Speaker 1: The other thing that I noticed a lot of is
2:22
Speaker 1: the flooring in this is that LVT that luxury vinyl
2:27
Speaker 1: tile I do believe is what LVT stands for or
2:30
Speaker 1: LVP excuse mean vinyl plank. It looks it looks really nice.
2:34
Speaker 1: The pattern and the design that they chose for that
2:37
Speaker 1: flooring really complements those cabinets and other spaces very well. Yeah.
2:43
Speaker 2: I agree, it's almost almost like a Brazilian hardwood look
2:47
Speaker 2: to it, well, still being a luxury vinyl plank. Yeah.
2:50
Speaker 2: It's a nice size house too. I mean you're sitting
2:54
Speaker 2: on four bedrooms, two and a half bath and over
2:58
Speaker 2: thirty three hundred square feet, so big place.
3:01
Speaker 1: And did we touch on the garage size, which is
3:03
Speaker 1: also a really nice feature.
3:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, as far as the two car garage goes it
3:09
Speaker 2: it looks quite big, more of a two point.
3:12
Speaker 1: Five, yes, And people say, well, what do you do
3:16
Speaker 1: with a point five? Well, you know what you can
3:17
Speaker 1: do with a point five. You can put yourself a
3:20
Speaker 1: rider in there. That's that you know what, and that's
3:24
Speaker 1: I think I feel. I feel like for a lot
3:27
Speaker 1: of us guys, that's literally going to be our answer
3:29
Speaker 1: when our wife say what do we do with that?
3:31
Speaker 1: And we're going to say, what can you do? We
3:32
Speaker 1: can put all sorts of fun stuff in there. Yeah,
3:35
Speaker 1: it's a really really nice property. As Matt mentioned, it
3:38
Speaker 1: has four bedroom, two and a half bath, beautiful garage
3:42
Speaker 1: located right in Janesville at twenty nine nineteen Dartmouth Drive
3:47
Speaker 1: under five hundred thousand, four nine hundred. I can get
3:51
Speaker 1: the details online of course, Rock Wisconsin even better pickup phone.
3:54
Speaker 1: Give Laura Furman a call this morning about this week's
3:56
Speaker 1: featured listing. Tell her you'd like to take a look
3:59
Speaker 1: at this house on Dartmouth Drive in Janesville Hotel for
4:03
Speaker 1: number six O eight nine two one zero six four one.
4:07
Speaker 1: That's nine two one zero six four to one for
4:10
Speaker 1: Laura Firman at Rock Realty and Matt as I look
4:13
Speaker 1: at some of the numbers, their latest numbers. As far
4:17
Speaker 1: as real estate, we're seeing uh continual increase when it
4:21
Speaker 1: comes to media and prices. That that's kind of a
4:24
Speaker 1: that's been that's been a pretty common common thing, hasn't it. Yeah.
4:28
Speaker 2: I think though it's a kind of leveling off, So
4:31
Speaker 2: we're not getting those insane price increases. There's a slow
4:35
Speaker 2: and steady increase. You know. I feel like it's it's
4:39
Speaker 2: mirrored in a way. It's mirrored inflation, right, you know,
4:43
Speaker 2: usually real estate stays a little bit ahead of inflation,
4:46
Speaker 2: and that's kind of what we're seeing. And a year
4:48
Speaker 2: over year, you know, we're still looking at a you know,
4:51
Speaker 2: between a four and five percent price increase around the state.
4:55
Speaker 2: As far as July last year versus July this year.
4:58
Speaker 1: It's interesting when you when you, oh, sorry about that, man,
5:00
Speaker 1: I mean in rubble are you saying no? I was
5:02
Speaker 1: gonna say, what's interesting?
5:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's a state wise, you know, the medium
5:11
Speaker 2: price rose to about three hundred and thirty seven thousand dollars,
5:15
Speaker 2: you know, this month versus last year.
5:17
Speaker 1: What's interesting about that too, is is one when people
5:21
Speaker 1: sometimes they'll hear some of these numbers and they'll go, oh,
5:23
Speaker 1: my goodness. You know, house prices keep going up and up.
5:26
Speaker 1: They're supposed to write there. We we did see a
5:29
Speaker 1: time there where it was it was too hot, too much,
5:32
Speaker 1: too fast, but you should expect real estate and that's
5:36
Speaker 1: part of what makes it such a such a great
5:38
Speaker 1: opportunity and why it's today is a great day to
5:40
Speaker 1: get started on this is you do want to see
5:43
Speaker 1: not not extreme, not crazy, but you do want to
5:46
Speaker 1: see which which is reflective in what we've seen recently,
5:49
Speaker 1: which is a very gentle increase in values. Is I
5:54
Speaker 1: don't I sometimes think people hear that stuff and they
5:57
Speaker 1: think it's a bad thing. That's actually exactly correct me
6:00
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. How this is this in a really healthy,
6:03
Speaker 1: strong market, That's exactly how things should work, right.
6:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I agree. And you know, one way to
6:09
Speaker 2: look at it is if the price of lumber and
6:12
Speaker 2: drywall has gone up two percent over the last year,
6:15
Speaker 2: it's going to cost that much more to build a
6:18
Speaker 2: new a new home, right, and so kind of the
6:21
Speaker 2: new supply pulls up the pre existing supply. Is kind
6:26
Speaker 2: of how that market works. Where As as inflation continues,
6:30
Speaker 2: you know, home prices or the ed inflation will steep
6:33
Speaker 2: into real commodities, right, real real states is one of
6:36
Speaker 2: those commodities, one of those tangible items, and uh, you
6:40
Speaker 2: know it will naturally kind of keep up or stay
6:43
Speaker 2: ahead of inflation because.
6:44
Speaker 1: Of that, Matt, what are we seeing as we talked
6:46
Speaker 1: this morning with Matt Heytman of Rock Realty Online Rock
6:49
Speaker 1: Wisconsin dot com, that's ro O c k Wisconsin dot com.
6:53
Speaker 1: When we get into inventory, what are we seeing there?
6:54
Speaker 1: Are we seeing more inventory less inventory remaining steady? What's
6:59
Speaker 1: what's kind of the the take away there?
7:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've similar to last month, we had a bit
7:05
Speaker 2: of a mixed results when it comes to both Dane
7:09
Speaker 2: and Rock County, and I think I think this last
7:11
Speaker 2: month it kind of reverse the other way. So in
7:15
Speaker 2: Dane County the new listings year over year was almost
7:19
Speaker 2: dead even right, didn't have a huge increase in new listings,
7:23
Speaker 2: But in Rock County it was actually six percent more
7:26
Speaker 2: new listings sitting the market. So inventory has definitely been
7:31
Speaker 2: helping for months and months and years. Really we saw
7:34
Speaker 2: inventory falling and now we've seen it actually rising and growing,
7:38
Speaker 2: which is a which is a good thing.
7:40
Speaker 1: Matt. As we look at those numbers too, and you mentioned,
7:42
Speaker 1: of course, kind of reflecting on what we saw last
7:45
Speaker 1: month year over year compared with this month, do we
7:47
Speaker 1: kind of see that we're you know, market's kind of
7:49
Speaker 1: not a lot but it kind of like an ebb
7:51
Speaker 1: and flow as far as like you know, you may
7:54
Speaker 1: see one month where Jefferson County is is a little
7:58
Speaker 1: hotter than Dane County, or one month where Dane County
8:01
Speaker 1: is a little hotter than Rock County, but they all
8:03
Speaker 1: kind of kind of balance themselves out. Like you just
8:06
Speaker 1: kind of look at the trends overall, and it's like
8:08
Speaker 1: the Dane County and the surrounding areas all seem to
8:12
Speaker 1: and I could be off on this, but it seems
8:14
Speaker 1: like they all kind of work in conjunction with one another,
8:17
Speaker 1: where one will one will see significant growth, one may
8:21
Speaker 1: be slower, and it just kind of kind of like
8:23
Speaker 1: they're all almost working in tandem that way.
8:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know, if you've average it out over
8:29
Speaker 2: multi months, kind of as you mentioned, whether it's three months,
8:31
Speaker 2: six months, or the full year, you'll see more consistency
8:35
Speaker 2: between the numbers. But yeah, you know, for instance, I
8:39
Speaker 2: believe last month, you know, we had a much larger
8:45
Speaker 2: increase in days on the market down in Rock County
8:49
Speaker 2: and percentage wise, and then this month it's actually a
8:52
Speaker 2: larger increase in Dane County and in Dane County. If
8:56
Speaker 2: you look at like last July or versus this July.
9:00
Speaker 2: Most listings are staying on the market thirty three days
9:03
Speaker 2: in Dane County, and you know that's up twenty seven percent, right,
9:08
Speaker 2: twenty seven days in Rockcounty, which is only up six percent,
9:12
Speaker 2: but because last month they had increased so much, it's
9:14
Speaker 2: you know it averages out into there. They're staying pretty consistent.
9:18
Speaker 1: That's pretty it's pretty amazing and interesting to see. As well.
9:21

11:06
Speaker 1: As Matt mentioned, all the details right online rocklistings dot Com.
11:10
Speaker 1: That's Rocklistings dot Com. And speaking of speaking of listings,
11:15
Speaker 1: let's talk about the numbers of homes sold in both
11:19
Speaker 1: Dane and Rock County year over year. What are we
11:21
Speaker 1: seeing and when it break down and kind of break
11:23
Speaker 1: down some of those numbers, Matt.
11:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, So in Dane County it is actually a drop
11:30
Speaker 2: of about two percent. It's not a huge drop at all,
11:32
Speaker 2: but four hundred and eighty six homes sold in Dane
11:36
Speaker 2: County and in Rock County this last month it was
11:39
Speaker 2: an increase of six percent, up to one hundred and
11:42
Speaker 2: ninety three sold in Rock County. And again I think
11:46
Speaker 2: those are kind of opposite from what they were last month.
11:50
Speaker 2: So in general, I think home sales are increasing a touch, right.
11:56
Speaker 2: We're getting some more affordability, good and more you know
11:59
Speaker 2: listings in the market. Buyers were able to do a
12:02
Speaker 2: bit more shopping before pulling the trigger, and as a result,
12:07
Speaker 2: I think we're getting more sales out of it because
12:09
Speaker 2: the inventory has been improving.
12:10
Speaker 1: What about when we look at the median price and
12:13
Speaker 1: this is one of those areas too, which you know,
12:16
Speaker 1: one of the things I like about chatting with you
12:18
Speaker 1: each and every week, is whether we're talking about our
12:20
Speaker 1: featured listing or listings in general. There's really something out
12:24
Speaker 1: there for everybody, and I think when we look at
12:26
Speaker 1: the median prices between Rock and Dane County, it really
12:30
Speaker 1: highlights that that there are really great opportunities out there,
12:32
Speaker 1: whether you're looking for somebody maybe a first time home
12:35
Speaker 1: buy or kind of making that first step as a
12:37
Speaker 1: move up, or if you're on the other end of
12:38
Speaker 1: the spectrum, someone's saying, you know what, we've worked, we've saved,
12:42
Speaker 1: We're ready to buy that dream home. There's really something
12:45
Speaker 1: in any price range for anybody out there, isn't there?
12:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. You know, Dane County's average last month, it's
12:52
Speaker 2: five hundred and five thousand dollars for a median price.
12:56
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean ten years ago we ever thought
12:59
Speaker 2: the average right in county with been half a million dollars.
13:03
Speaker 2: It's unreal. And Rock County was at just about two
13:07
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy nine thousand dollars as a median price.
13:10
Speaker 2: You know, people are you know, realizing that they have
13:13
Speaker 2: to kind of you know, go to the surrounding areas
13:16
Speaker 2: if they they want to get below let's say at
13:18
Speaker 2: three hundred thousand dollars price point. You know, so we're
13:21
Speaker 2: seeing we're seeing a lot of people going out to
13:24
Speaker 2: Dodge or Columbia or Walworth or Jefferson or Rock Counties
13:28
Speaker 2: and locating those houses that that fits their needs. And
13:33
Speaker 2: you know a lot of people when they're when they're
13:35
Speaker 2: working from home, they only have to go in the
13:37
Speaker 2: office a few times and then drive is not it's
13:39
Speaker 2: a little more bearable if it's only two to three
13:42
Speaker 2: times a week versus five.
13:44
Speaker 1: And the other thing too, Matt is as you talk
13:46
Speaker 1: about some of those some of those surrounding suburbs and
13:48
Speaker 1: those areas not Madison has great schools, but also a
13:52
Speaker 1: lot of these communities that surround Madison and Dane County
13:56
Speaker 1: have phenomenal schools as well. So you think of folks
13:58
Speaker 1: with with kiddos and other things saying, you know what,
14:01
Speaker 1: and I know there's been a lot of research about
14:05
Speaker 1: some of the intangible or things that people don't always
14:08
Speaker 1: think about when it comes to home ownership. One of
14:10
Speaker 1: the things is, you know, people people who own their
14:14
Speaker 1: own homes with children, kids do better in schools. It's
14:17
Speaker 1: weird to think about, but there's actually there's actually research
14:20
Speaker 1: into that. And when you talk about some of those
14:22
Speaker 1: surrounding areas, not only are they are they priced right,
14:26
Speaker 1: but they've got great schools and great opportunities for folks
14:29
Speaker 1: there as well.
14:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I agree, and people are kind of searching
14:34
Speaker 2: out those suburb communities with the good schools. I know,
14:37
Speaker 2: Milton is one of the ones that comes to mind.
14:39
Speaker 2: That's a pretty hot commodity here just outside of Jamesville
14:43
Speaker 2: in Rock County. A lot of people are looking out
14:45
Speaker 2: in that direction. And you know, as you mentioned, just
14:48
Speaker 2: having a stable home, whether whether it's a rental or
14:53
Speaker 2: or a home that you own, and having your kids
14:55
Speaker 2: stay there and be accustomed to that one kind of
14:59
Speaker 2: foundation supports and important so that they can concentrate on
15:03
Speaker 2: other areas of their life.
15:04
Speaker 1: So yeah, and Matt, I was going to ask you
15:06
Speaker 1: too about as we talk about finding those as are
15:09
Speaker 1: breaking down some of the market numbers Dane and Rock County.
15:12
Speaker 1: Looking at the month of July. We talked to about
15:15
Speaker 1: some of the some of the variants and prices even
15:17
Speaker 1: in market to market, county to county. It reinforces the
15:20
Speaker 1: importance of working with it with a great agent. Somebody
15:23
Speaker 1: that that you can connect with somebody that understands what
15:26
Speaker 1: you're looking for, obviously wanting to know your budget, but
15:29
Speaker 1: also you know, bringing things like kids, or are you
15:32
Speaker 1: going to be working from home? Is this a job
15:33
Speaker 1: where you commute each and every day or maybe once
15:36
Speaker 1: a month or never at all. Those types of conversations,
15:39
Speaker 1: those type of relationships, those are important to establish with
15:42
Speaker 1: your agent, aren't they.
15:45
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, And sitting down and actually having a long
15:48
Speaker 2: conversation kind of describing your living situation, describing like what's
15:54
Speaker 2: the true kind of wants and needs? Aren't helping to
15:57
Speaker 2: prioritize you know, which which of those are important? Which
16:00
Speaker 2: aren't right? You know that you know you're okay with remodeling,
16:06
Speaker 2: so maybe it's better that we find something it needs
16:08
Speaker 2: a little work, but it has that forced bedroom so
16:10
Speaker 2: that you can work from home, right, versus you know,
16:13
Speaker 2: finding that three bedroom that's all been redone and paying
16:16
Speaker 2: a different price for that. So, you know, sitting down
16:19
Speaker 2: and really discussing and getting getting down into the stick
16:23
Speaker 2: of you know what's important. And sometimes sometimes people don't
16:26
Speaker 2: even know truly what that is until they have that conversation.
16:29
Speaker 2: They have an idea in their mind, but until they
16:31
Speaker 2: sit down with an agent and actually walk through it
16:34

Speaker 1: We'll get to this week's featured listening in just a moment,
17:45
Speaker 1: but finally Matt. Of course, first we do want to
17:48
Speaker 1: wrap up our market report and the market update for
17:51
Speaker 1: the month of July. The newest number is available and
17:53
Speaker 1: kind of breaking down all of this stuff. What I
17:56
Speaker 1: find interesting too is they're talking about kind of breaking
17:58
Speaker 1: down some of the numbers. You know, you provide with
18:00
Speaker 1: folks that you work with kind of a broad overview
18:02
Speaker 1: of markets. I've also seen some of your internal notes
18:05
Speaker 1: and you guys really kind of kind of dig down
18:07
Speaker 1: on this stuff. It is important as we talk about
18:10
Speaker 1: real estate. One of the one of the very fascinating
18:13
Speaker 1: aspects of it is just how really you've got to
18:18
Speaker 1: be very specialized in your understanding of markets. There's you're
18:22
Speaker 1: dealing with things like emotion, You're dealing with things like
18:26
Speaker 1: varied inventory, different types of homes, different care taken for
18:30
Speaker 1: the whole. You know, you can have two houses side
18:32
Speaker 1: by side built the same year, they've experienced different families,
18:35
Speaker 1: different lifestyles over the years. That that affects the cost.
18:38
Speaker 1: But you're also dealing with markets that that can you know,
18:41
Speaker 1: that can change, that do change. And we talk about
18:44
Speaker 1: the importance of working with a good real estate agent.
18:47
Speaker 1: It's a real specialty. And I know one of the
18:49
Speaker 1: great things you guys provide at Rock Realty for your
18:51
Speaker 1: agents is really well refined data and information and that
18:55
Speaker 1: translate for buyers and sellers into getting the best price
18:59
Speaker 1: and of course need you will leg up on the
19:00
Speaker 1: competition when it comes to buying a home.
19:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know when we're talking about the
19:06
Speaker 2: different counties and how that varies, well it also varies
19:09
Speaker 2: depending on just kind of location within a county. I
19:14
Speaker 2: thought it was interesting in the stats in July that
19:18
Speaker 2: you know, the rural counties now have around six months
19:22
Speaker 2: of inventory, which is considered a balanced market. Right, So
19:28
Speaker 2: you know, if you want to take your time shopping
19:30
Speaker 2: and be able to see multiple homes and you know,
19:34
Speaker 2: maybe take a day or two to consider putting in
19:36
Speaker 2: an offer, Well, if you look in in the more
19:38
Speaker 2: rural areas, you'll have more of an opportunity to do
19:41
Speaker 2: something like that versus something that's a little more urban.
19:44
Speaker 2: They're they're sitting closer to about four months of inventory,
19:47
Speaker 2: which is much better than what we are seeing, but
19:50
Speaker 2: it will be a little more rushed atmosphere.
19:52
Speaker 1: And as somebody who lives in a smaller city, I
19:55
Speaker 1: see the micropolitan, which would be folks like like myself.
19:59
Speaker 1: You got for four point three months, and that's not
20:03
Speaker 1: a bad number to see either. And as we talked
20:05
Speaker 1: this morning with Matt Heytman of Rockrealty, I mentioned the
20:08
Speaker 1: website Rock Wisconsin dot com. That's r O c K
