Yes, it is still a great time to purchase a home, condo, or duplex. The lender we work with just locked in a 30 year at 2.75% and 2 VA loans at 2.5%. 

That is CRAZY!!!

 

The odds of interest rates going up even 1% is much greater than going down any further. Inventory is still thin, but we are seeing the seasonal drop out of some buyers. What about the next 3-4 months? Well my crystal ball is having a melt down with all the variables and what could or might not happen. There are some factors that do help us with our decision-making process.
In most cases lenders and economists are saying interest rates should stay low through the end of 2021. But unknown variables could make rates fluctuate!
The spring market is going to be wild. More buyers than usual and hopefully more sellers than last year. Prices will not come down, its just if and how much they will go up. November, December and January will be exceptional months to purchase a home. I am telling sellers that I work with that our seasonal ups and downs will not be like past years. Like all of 2020, nothing is making sense.
So, what can you do?
Continue to watch for a property you like, but do not sit back and wait if you find one.  Do not pressure yourself. When it happens it will happen. Be prepared with an updated pre-approval letter. Do not expect it to get easier and less expensive next year.

Not only do we continue to provide private showings for our buyers while following ALL CDC Guidelines, but we are now promoting our EXCLUSIVE Move2Milwaukee Stimulus Plan for the next 3 months.

Low Interest Rates & a Winter that’s been Warmer than Usual…

NOW is the Time to Look at Homes!

If finding a new Milwaukee home, condo or investment property is your New Year’s Resolution or goal for 2019, jump on the opportunity before the rest of the crowd! The low interest rates & a warmer winter are setting this Spring up to be one of the most competitive & crowded buyers markets I’ve seen in years. If you want to stay ahead of the herd, gain an advantage with my 2019 home buying tips.

First Time Home Buyer

Start My Home Search!

 

3 Urgent Tips for the

First Time Home Buyer in 2019

1 | Get Pre-Approved

Be prepared. If you want to have an edge with your offer, pre-approval is necessary. You’ll want to align yourself with a solid lender or mortgage broker – avoid internet lenders if you can. Establish your budget keeping in mind what you’d like your monthly payments to be. This is usually less than what you’re pre-approved for, but it’s a number you can realistically afford. It helps us better define what homes you can look at as well.

2 | Choose a Full Time, Experienced Realtor

It’s vital you work with a real estate agent who prioritizes YOUR schedule & moves as quickly as possible to keep you at the advantage with whatever property you may be interested in. As your Realtor, I always make sure to…

+Set up my buyers on an Auto Search so they can see homes that match their criteria the moment they hit the market.

+Provide comprehensive service. Many homes are blocked from sites like Zillow or Homes or have Accepted Offers search engines can’t see. I make sure to consider all avenues, so my buyers know exactly what’s on the market – no questions or wondering.

+Be responsive & respectful. As your agent, it’s my job to answer the phone when YOU call or text & to prioritize YOUR home buying experience. My reviews highlight why I have 17 years of success in this industry.

3 | Start ASAP!

The Spring Market has already begun. Last year it picked up in February & the warmer weather/low interest rates this year have pushed it up even earlier. The sooner you jump in, even to start looking at homes, the faster you’ll be able to get your foot in the door with an offer where other buyers who waited won’t be able to.

There have been 4 consecutive years of prices increasing on homes for sale in the $100,000-$400,000 range. It’s showing no signs of slowing down. You don’t want to risk getting stuck competing for a home & losing out on opportunities!

5% Down, No PMI

5% Down, No PMI

Limited Buyers & Great Inventory – No this is Not a Dream!

With winter in Milwaukee right around the corner, it is one of the best times to purchase a home or condo.

Looking for a home? I have partnered with Jeff Sizemore from Providence Home Lending to get qualified buyers the opportunity of buying their next home with a 5% Down Payment and no PMI!

For years, I have said November and December are the best months to put an offer on a home or condo. With this new option of 5% down and NO PMI, it couldn’t get any better. Many buyers don’t want to tempt fate with the holidays around the corner, but you don’t have to close in December if you don’t want to.

In some cases, we can close in December, but you can always wait to close until January or February.

Browse Homes for Sale

When You Find the Right Home, I Write Offers Around your Goals

Let’s say you have a lease ending in March. If I structure your offer to close in January, your first home payment won’t be due until March 10th. This establishes a smooth financial transition while also helping you beat the competitive spring market without giving up your chance to own a home early next year, with no double payments.

More About Bob

Benefits of Purchasing a Home in November/December

1.Less Buyer Competition Gives Us Increased Negotiation Power. Closing in Some Cases can be Extended until January or February.

2.Great Inventory in Fall vs Spring, Starting January/February, with Homes Getting First Day Offers

3.Lower Interest Rates than what’s Predicted for 2019

4.Beat the Spring Market Price Increase (Market Price Usually 5-10% Increase Over Year Before)

5.Potential to Purchase with as Little as 5% Down, No PMI* Working with Bob Arnold

Request More Info on 5% Down, No PMI!

 

So what are you waiting for? Want to view some homes? Give me a call or text at (414) 379-1101 or email met at [email protected]

We can meet to discuss your options and goals and work on finding your next dream home or condo

Milwaukee Streetcar

Milwaukee Streetcar

The Milwaukee Streetcar Screeches Into Real Estate

Mayor Tom Barrett Reassures the Third Ward & East Side of Milwaukee are Gaining Property Value Thanks to “The Hop”

The Milwaukee Streetcar, also known as “The Hop”, is scheduled to begin service on November 2nd, 2018 just days after Halloween. The timing is uncanny for residents who have heard its spooky call in the late hours of the night, but Mayor Tom Barrett reassures locals that there is plenty to be grateful for this Thanksgiving.

The Milwaukee Streetcar in Action

*Make sure to turn the volume on.*

A Huge Hop for Property Owners

Property Value Up 28% Within a Quarter Mile of the Streetcar

Milwaukee’s City Assessor confirms property values near the newly installed streetcar routes have increased 27.9% since 2015. Citywide values have increased by 13.4%. In a recent press conference, the Mayor spoke on the subject.

Milwaukee Streetcar Controversy

The Safety of Local Cyclists & Motorists in Question

When accessibility for locals and tourism options for visitors is taken into account, one could see the value of the new Brew City transit addition. However, Barrett has not been able to confirm the exact impact the streetcar has had on the property value improvement. When considering the new construction, property rehab and investment projects happening downtown, its easy to understand why.

In fact, many residents are concerned about the true value of the streetcar following the recent Personal Injury Claim being filed against the city.

 

“We had tracks here. We tore them out 50 years ago. They say if you don’t learn from history, you’re doomed to repeat it.” – Michael Hupy, Hupy & Abraham

Future of the Streetcar

An Expansion is Planned for the Modernized Transit Option

Although the streetcar has gained a lot of attention before officially debuting, the success of it has yet to be tested. Based on its performance, Mayor Tom Barrett is hoping to expand its route to reach further than just the East Side and Third Ward. With Milwaukee, I’d personally welcome any positive change. 

Let’s hope the Milwaukee streetcar turns out to be less problematic so we can continue seeing property values rise. After all, Milwaukee is a great place to call home.

Sustainable Housing

Sustainable Housing

Healthier Homes for Your Family & The Environment

What Does it Mean to Live with Operating Efficiency & Long-Term Utility Cost Savings?

The New Construction, Eco-Friendly Sustainable Homes Subdivision (Matthaeus Farms) between Port Washington and Grafton has opened my eyes to an entirely new type of housing. Homes in Wisconsin can now be built to be Energy Efficient and less impactful on the environment!

Healthier Homes in Port Washington, WI

 

Green Homes Wisconsin

Living Sustainably with High Quality Construction

When it comes to the construction of new homes, builders are approaching the task with the goal of helping reduce the speed at which Earth’s resources are consumed. Using sustainable materials like Steel Roofing and Composite Siding goes a long way.

In other parts of the world, people are almost entirely self-sufficient in how they live, only eating food they grow such as milk, meat and eggs. Transportation is handled as a community resource with a focus on Energy Efficiency, such as carpooling, railways, buses and bicycling. Recycling also plays a large part in sustainability in other parts of the world, from reusing clothes and household utensils to recycling all kinds of plastics.

Some of these practices may seem extreme to heavy consumers like Americans, but being more environmentally conscious doesn’t mean having to give up your way of life.

Finding a Balance: Go Green with Matthaeus Farms

Homeowners don’t have to be completely self-sufficient to make a worthwhile contribution to improved sustainable living. Taking action when it comes to how you shop (cutting down on packaged goods), what you buy (local vs exotic produce), how you travel and, most importantly, where you choose to live can play a huge role in affecting positive change.

Build My Eco-Friendly Dream Home!

 

How to Save Energy at Home

16 Easy Tips to Reduce, Reuse & Recycle at Home

How to Save Energy at Home in Wisconsin

1. Turn off Switches & Plugs When Not in Use.

2. Wash Clothes at a Lower Temperature & Avoid Small Loads.

3. Always Close the Fridge, Freezer & Oven Door Fully.

4. Invest in Drought-Proof Doors & Windows.

5. Take Quick Showers & Avoid Taking Long Baths.

6. Use Rechargeable Batteries & Lower Energy Lightbulbs.

7. Collect Rainwater & Use it to Water Your Garden or Wash the Car.

8. Buy at Farmers Markets or Grow Your Own Vegetable Garden.

9. Keep Household Scraps & Use Them as Compost.

10. Give Away Old Clothes to Local Charities & Foundations.

11. Try Repurposing Old Objects.

12. Only Buy the Amount of Food You Need to Reduce Waste.

13. Recycle Household Glass, Plastic, Card & Paper at Your Local Recycle Center.

14. Walk, Use Public Transport, Carpool or Switch to Electric Vehicles.

15. Build a Home Using Sustainable Materials. (More Info at Matthaeus Farms)

By reducing, reusing and recycling, we can all live a more sustainable lifestyle. Imagine the impact it would make if everyone did one or two things on this list every day. I’ll say it once and I’ll say it again: it starts at home.

Milwaukee Real Estate April 2018

Unexpected Shifts in Milwaukee Real Estate Transactions & Trends

County to county in Southeastern Wisconsin, there has been nothing but increases. As of April 2017, Ozaukee County has seen the largest percentage of increases with +29.8% while Racine County increased +13.1% and Milwaukee County not far behind at +10.4%. Overall, MLS, which collects data from the entire state, saw an increase of 7.8% in Wisconsin from April 2017 to April 2018. 

+Homes under $300,000 accounted for 76% of homes sold in March 2018

+Units in good condition with a highly rated school district sell in just a few days

+In the 1st Quarter of 2018, 79% were under $300,000 in price

+The Average Home spends a month & a half LESS on the market since this time last year!

– (3.2 Months on the Market in 2017; 1.7 Months on the Market in 2018!)

Home Buyers: Don’t Give Up!!!

It never gets easier and with trends rising as they are, it will be even more competitive next year. Too many buyers gave up last year and are now kicking themselves for it. While the statistics above are not pretty for buyers, they are the facts and it is important for buyers I work with to understand the market.

How to Sell Your Home in Milwaukee

What Should I Do to Buy My Home, Condo or Duplex?

Make sure you have one of the best real estate agents in Milwaukee aggressively combing the current market, looking for new listings to send you and showing you properties they day they come on the market. You need an agent who is a Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) who has a strong knowledge of the market so they are able to be successful when it comes to competing in Multiple Offer situations. 

Great questions to ask your potential realtor:

+Have you Been Involved in a Multiple Offer?

+How Many Multiple Offers have you Won for your Clients?

+What is the Current Real Estate Market Like & How does it Affect My Buying Plans?

Important questions to ask yourself:

+Having trouble with your current agent or property search?

+Are you set up for success with an offer? (What should all buyers do before looking at homes?)

+Is it your goal to own a condo, home or duplex this year?

This April, we’ve seen rain, snow, hail and 60 degree weather in Milwaukee. The real estate market is just as unpredictable and if you’re considering buying a home, you’ll want to get in contact with a Realtor such as myself who has an umbrella of knowledge at the ready and a snowplow of experience ready to be used at a moment’s notice.

Please call or text or email me and I would enjoy talking or meeting with you.

Happy Spring!

Bob Arnold, Realty Executives Integrity

Metro Milwaukee Real Estate Inventory Update

Milwaukee Real Estate Home Sales Continue to Be Strong 2nd Month in a Row.

Longer days and warmer weather are just around the corner! The first day of Spring is March 20th, Daylight Savings Time was last weekend, interest rates are still below 4.5% and we’ve picked up some more inventory. Life is GREAT! With the spring market is well on its way, finding real estate near Milwaukee WI in January or February was not easy.

Low inventory, competitive offers and an extremely active market made it difficult and a little frustrating for some home buyers. New statistics show February closings were up 11% from last year. (Remember, those are buyers who wrote offers in January. These successful deals are not the offers in escrow today!)

We track listings being put into MLS daily. Since March 1st (As of March 12th), 919 new listings have come on the market in our 5 county area, including Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Waukesha, Washington and Racine county:

+673 are Homes

+147 are Condos

+99 are Duplexes, Multi-Family, Commercial & Land

**I have seen inventory up a little with a new influx of homes and condos on the market. If you are a serious home or condo buyer, stay active. The right one WILL come along!

A couple of weeks ago we had little scare when interest rates shot up to the 4.65% range, but are now back to the 4.25% range. (It going to happen again, just to prepare you.) For now, let’s take advantage of the market – don’t wait to look at homes on the market!

Is Now the Best Time to Buy Homes in Wisconsin?

Home Sales in Wisconsin

“National home prices are set to increase by up to 6% in the coming months with end-of-year home sales reflecting the upward trend seen in 2017. Job growth, historically low interest rests and a successful stock market are responsible for these numbers. There really is no time like the present to buy new construction homes!”

– Bob Arnold, Milwaukee Realtor

4 Tips for Buying Homes in Today’s Market

Here are a few important takeaways for home buyers in today’s market.

1) If You are Renting a Home…

Start looking at homes today! We can work around your rent lease. Start looking 4-6 months before your lease ends. This would be much better than a 2-3 month time frame and will make your journey from apartment to home living much easier.

2) Find a Good Lender…

To get pre-qualified and not just pre-approved. You want to look as strong as you can when writing an offer in today’s competitive market. Ask you lender if they will be able to close in 30 days. You may need that option to be a step above other buyers in a multiple offer situation. If you are looking for lender, please give me a call or shoot me a text or email!

3) Made More Than 3 Offers?

If you have made more that 3 offers on 3 different properties and lost them to another offer or multiple offers, you may need to reconsider who you are working with. In a multiple offer situation, I have an 80% Acceptance Rate with 1st Time Offers and a 95% Acceptance Rate with Second Time Offers. The agent does make a difference.

4) Be Prepared…

and ask questions! When looking for homes, its important to know the offer process and understand the home inspection. Both move very quickly and will have their own bumps in the road. Make sure you understand the process completely and have a good professional realtor and lender working for you.

"Fantastic & Ultra-Knowledgeable Realtor"
"Bob is the living-legend of Realtors in my area -- and for very good reason. He helped us get the asking price for the home that we sold and a very reasonable price for the home that we bought. Bob will ALWAYS answer his phone, texts and emails immediately (any time of day-or-night). Not only is he a fantastic and ultra-knowledgeable Realtor - but conscientious, honest as the day is long, and mostly -- has a great sense of humor, balanced with being the consummate professional. In fact after the experience we've had with Bob I now consider him a friend (if not family). We could not be happier with Bob, and if we were to buy/sell a house again we would ONLY consider working with Bob."
Steve
"Very Patient & Accommodating"
Bob is the best! I’ve never written a Google review but I had to give Bob 5 stars. He’s been really helpful as we are first time buyers. We had no idea what we really wanted at first and he’s been very patient and accommodating. Plus he’s been really honest and upfront about certain things which was refreshing. He’s not pushing you into the wrong home, he definitely seems to care about you getting into the right fit. I recommended Bob to my brother and I’d recommend him to whomever is looking for a home
Ben
"I Got Exactly What I Wanted"
Bob was AWESOME!!! Can't thank him enough for everything he did to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. So glad I called Bob to be my realtor! He went above and beyond any and all expectations I had. He's EXTREMELY knowledgeable about the Milwaukee area and his insight on the market and builders was very valuable. As a young adult and first time homebuyer, the questions were endless but he was able to successfully guide me throughout all stages of the process. He did a great job to make sure I saw plenty of options and he was very flexible and easy to work with. If you're looking for a realtor, definitely call Bob!
Madeline
"One of the Great Ones!"
Bob Arnold is one of the great ones! I had been a Licensed Real Estate Broker in California for over ten years and I had done a lot of deals while working with way too many Realtors to remember. I relocated to Milwaukee for a job and when it came time to buy a home I knew what was important . I needed a Realtor who really knew the business and the area especially. Bob is that rare person who really understands customer service, is very connected to the business and he knows how to get the deal done fast. I have recommended Bob to a few co-workers and would recommend Bob to anyone who wants a real professional in Milwaukee real estate.
Erik
"The Reason our Offer was Accepted"
We can’t recommend him highly enough. Bob is the reason our offer was accepted. He worked hard to get us into properties the day they came onto the market. Bob was available and willing to answer all of our questions, and as first time home buyers, we had many. He knows Milwaukee and the surrounding communities well. It put our mind at ease knowing we had a knowledgeable, experienced advocate on our side throughout the home buying process.
Brianna
"There was Never Any Pressure from Him to Buy"
Bob let us look at all the houses we found that we wanted to see, and he was quick to point out both the good and the bad at each. There was never any pressure from him to buy, he waited until we found the right house for us, and then he went in fighting to make sure that it was properly taken care of before closing. All emails and phone calls were promptly returned, I was very impressed with his responsiveness, and keeping us informed as much as could be done. I have no hesitation in recommending that anyone looking for a home work with Bob.
Kaysie
"Willing to Go Out of His Way"
As first time home buyers, we needed a lot of guidance and Bob was more than willing to go out of his way to meet with us and educate us through this process. He helped us not only find our first home, but our dream home!
Sara
"Stress Free & Enjoyable Home Buying Experience"
Worked with Bob shortly after we relocated to the area. Bob took the information we provided and gave us a good sampling of what was available in a fast moving market. Bob was very flexible in his schedule to accommodate our schedule. Once we found our home, Bob acted quickly to bring our offer to the table and get accepted. Bob also worked closely with us in making offer conditions and following up with some additional matters in the home inspection. Bob also had connected us with an excellent home inspector who provided a very detailed report as well as a Real estate attorney that met our needs. Bob made this an overall stress free and enjoyable home buying experience.
Mike
"Answered All of My Questions"
Bob did an excellent job at helping me with every step of the process. Answered all of my questions and was a great asset.
Joe
"Highly Recommended"
After having an ‘at home’ realtor (who came highly recommended) and who was afraid to even hold an open house, having only 3 showings in 6 months - I fired her. Yes, my property was a difficult one, in a tough market. However, Bob worked diligently on every lead, with numerous Open Houses and timely showings. He was intense, yet calm and knowledgeable. He knows the business of real estate, codes and how to work with people in a very creative way to get the sale. He knows all the venues for listing a property, and always welcomed my input and ideas. While trying to sell my property, he found numerous new listings for me to purchase. Frankly, you’ll be happy you hired Bob.
Eric
He Was Always Quick to Respond to our Questions
Bob helped my husband and I find a house this past July. We were first-time home buyers, and were interested in the Bay View area of Milwaukee, and he made us feel confident after our first meeting with him that he could help us through the process, and get us into a house in our ideal location. And he did indeed check both of those boxes! He was always very quick to respond to our questions, which was incredibly helpful, as the home-buying process can move so quickly. We also appreciated his honesty – there were a couple of houses that we looked at that we were on the fence about, and Bob gave us great guidance. He really did understand what we were looking for, and wouldn’t have let us put an offer in on something that wasn’t perfect. We have now settled into the house nicely, and are so grateful to Bob and his team for all their hard work!
