As Fall comes to a close the local housing market continues to be fundamentally sound, yet more challenging than 2006. The number of residential units sold in the Greater Wausau area is 1398, down 9 percent from a year ago. This also corresponds to a 11 percent decline in the total dollar volume sold, and for the first time in several years we have seen the average homes sales price slip 1 percent to $147,000.
The good news for those currently selling their homes, or planning to do so in the near future, is that the number of homes on the market is down 32 percent.
It’s always important that your home is receiving the highest level of exposure possible. A comprehensive marketing plan that includes print media, television, and high visibility on the web is very important. Statisics show that over 80 percent of home buyers are starting their home search online.
Before you decide to list your home for sale take a few minutes to review the Team Tappe Comprehensive Marketing Plan, and see how we are giving our clients a distinct advantage.

This is an update to the recent article “Taxed to the Max” that we posted on October 1. The article discussed a proposal to double the real estate transfer tax. A transfer tax occurs when a property owner sells their property. We are happy to report that this proposal was removed from the state budget and a compromise proposal was announced.
The real winners of this compromise will be Wisconsin’s working families, young couples, and senior citizens. An increased “home tax” would have created an additional tax burden for everyone to bare, but would have created more challenges for those who are least able to absorb the cost.
Realtors and homeowners alike lobbied hard against the proposal and helped legislators to realize that raising taxes wasn’t the right thing to do.
Stay tuned to TeamTappeTalk.com for additional details as this conversation progresses in our legislator. But for now chalk up a win for Wisconsin families!
