Green Bay Real Estate Market Report
Our media outlets have been extremely aggressive in talking about the slowdown in real estate in the nation. While I'm having a conversation with someone there is an extremely high probability that they will bring up how bad our Green Bay real estate market is. What are the people I'm talking with saying? Some buyers have the perception right now that sellers are stuck, and that they're going to give homes away at a huge discount. Some buyers also think lowball offers are suddenly going to be seriously considered. I hear agents talk about how nothing's selling and they can't find buyers. The nation may be in a real estate slowdown but how do we know that Green Bay is the same? That's the question we need to evaluate if we're going to refer to the Green Bay Home market logically.
It's extremely important that we look at our specific market and not the nation to determine how the Brown County Real Estate Market is doing. Having researched our market thoroughly I've found some very positive results that home owners, sellers, buyers, investors, and even some agents in the Green Bay area need to be aware of.
The statistics that I'm using to evaluate the Brown County Real Estate Market is from our Wisconsin Realtor's Association. The specific link is http://www.wra.org/Consumer_Resources/about_wisconsin/housingstats.asp?Region=Northeast&County=Brown#map.
In 2003 Brown County had its best year to date on number of home sales. For the whole year we had a total number of 2,725 home sales. If we jump to 2007 we see that the Brown County Market had 2,716 homes sold and closed. We were 14 sales short of 2003's record breaking year. When we break this down to a percentage, we're at 99.66 percent of 2003's best year ever, which I will stress again. Sure we could have outdone our best year, but to at least keep up the pace has a ton of positives to it. I feel this is solid evidence that our Green Bay Real Estate Market is in good shape. We may even be able to say it's in great shape compared to the rest of the nation. People are still out there buying homes just as much as in our best years, and homes continue to sell at high volume in our wonderful Green Bay community.
