The November numbers are in from the Realtors Association of Northwest Wisconsin's Multiple Listing Service. Most of what we see in Sawyer County has been fairly positive of late with the exception of total homes sold for the year. So, while some of you may be bored by stats here is some reasonably good news. Remember that these are Sawyer County numbers according to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) for our area and does not include properties sold that are not listed on the MLS.
The total number of homes sold in November was fourteen as compared to ten in 2010; that's a 40% increase over last year. All of northwest Wisconsin saw a 12.4% increase. Year to date Sawyer County has had 178 home sales as compared to 195 in 2010 which is a 8.7% decrease.
The average sale in November was $307,995 versus $233,250 in 2010 which is a 32% increase over last year. All of northwest Wisconsin has seen a 2.1% decrease in November.
The year-to-date median sales price in Sawyer County is $175,000 compared to $151,000 in 2010; that's a 15.9% increase as compared to a negative 4.7% for all of northwest Wisconsin.
While we have certainly had a challenging year in northwest Wisconsin and in our own County please know that the real estate market IS NOT DEAD.
