Brookfield, WI

It would seem that just when I get my goals all ready to be laminated, I wind up with the need to review, reconstruct, and alter them to be attainable. I remember Mike Ferry once saying "Too high of goals can suggest failure, but lack of goals can guarantee it." Indeed, I think Mike was absolutely right.

It has been my observation that over the years I have had to redo my goals at certain times of the year. I would think that this is no different than maintaining a car; without proper maintenance the car will just not function properly.

It took me years to learn that my goals had to be a fine blend of my whole life and not just about being a freight train on the phone. Now that I have learned this it doesn't mean that I have to have such high goals that it will be unrealistic, but rather to me I have to set benchmarks that allow me to measure my success, and in all angles of my life, work, and down time.

Sincerely

Tom Braatz

Sales of Condominiums in Brookfield show a total of 52 year to date. This is considerably slower than the 2007 numbers. The total for 2007 was 93 sales. There likely will be some properties closing before year end, changing the numbers a little bit.

New listings coming on the market are down 14% from last year. This leaves a great supply of inventory for buyers to choose from.

If you are thinking of purchasing a condo in Brookfield, there has not been a time that this much inventory was available to you. With interest rates dropping to the low 5% range, this is a fantastic time to buy!

No one knows when the bottom of the market actually "is". We can only look backwards once sales pick up. Don't let this great time pass you by.
