Wisconsin’s hot housing market is setting a trend for the rest of the year with existing home sales around the state seeing a drastic increase. Wisconsin Realtors Association economist David Clark says every region around the state saw an increase in sales, but the Northwoods came out on top.
“…Sales volume is actually stronger in the northern region for the first seven months than the statewide average. The state average was 13.7 percent; the north was up 17.4 percent.”
Forest County saw the biggest increase at nearly 32 percent followed by Taylor County at 31 percent and Iron at 30. Clark says sales have slowed down since July, but with the Northwoods strength of the second home housing market, he expects the trend will carry into next year with an improved economy.
