Housing Market Ends Strong in 2014
The Wisconsin housing statistics are in for this December of 2014. Here is an excerpt from what the Wisconsin Realtors® Association (WRA) had to say:
~~~~~
The housing market ended 2014 on a strong note with both existing home sales and median prices higher in December, according to the most recent analysis of the state’s housing market by the Wisconsin REALTORS® Association (WRA). Home sales in December rose by 2.1 percent compared to December 2013, and median prices rose 4.3 percent to $145,000 over that same time frame. For the year, home sales in 2014 were slightly below a very strong 2013 market, down just 1.5 percent; but prices were higher in 2014, up 3.1 percent to an annual statewide median of $148,000.
“Despite a slow start due to harsh winter weather early in the year, 2014 rebounded nicely and ended with an excellent December and a very good final quarter of the year,” said Dan Kruse, chairman of WRA board of directors. Kruse noted the fourth quarter of 2014 was the strongest since 2005.
