Home Prices Rise in Brown County

 

If you’ve been paying attention to the housing market lately, it won’t come as a surprise to learn that home prices have been rising in desirable areas.

 

In Brown County, the median sale price last month was even higher than the state average, at $219,925, according to sales data compiled by the Realtors group.

Mark D. Olejniczak, president of Green-Bay based Mark D. Olejniczak, Inc. in Allouez, said he thinks the buyer-seller imbalance is affecting lower-priced homes more than higher-priced homes.

“It’s almost like two different real estate markets,”  Olejniczak said.

With homes under $200,000, Olejniczak has seen homes sell quickly as long as the home is in good condition and priced well.

In the market for homes over $500,000, buyer- and seller-power are more balanced.

Buyer confidence has finally returned after the dismal Great Recession, and we are in the longest economic expansion period in U.S. history. Olejniczak points out that as of yesterday, the 30-year fixed interest rate was at 3.75%.

“So I would call it a seller’s market. Because there seems to be more buyers than listings in that price range,” Olejniczak said. “The values have been going up. They’re driven because a lot of buyers are active and they want to take advantage of this 3.75% interest rate.” Nusaiba Mizan, Green Bay Press-Gazette.
