Yes, Madeline Island Homes DO Sell in Winter

It doesn't happen all that often, but properly priced (and well-marketed) listings on Madeline Island do sell during the winter months. When an offer comes in on one of our home listings, it's cause for celebration. And while any time of year is a great time to make a sale, a serious offer is even more welcome in the month of January.

The prospective buyer tells us she found this listing on our Madeline Island Realty website. She and her husband also viewed this home quite a few times on our YouTube channel and they tell me they scouted the home's exterior using Street View in Google Maps.

I was at the WRA Winter Convention when this offer came in. Wisconsin Realtors Association conventions have always been pretty lucky for me. I received an offer on a Minneapolis home last autumn while I was at the Kalahari Resort for WRA Convention and the year before, I negotiated an offer for a $450,000 waterfront home on Madeline Island while I was attending the WRA Annual Convention.

I frequently tell sellers that it may be a mistake to pull their Madeline Island property off the market during winter months. Even though winter sales are infrequent, there's no reason why a correctly priced home can't be sold during winter.
