The spring market is moving in Dane County -- here's what that means for you.
For sellers: The average home price hit $520,862 in March, up 6.3% from last year. Homes are selling in 36 days on average. Correctly priced homes are drawing multiple offers. Overpriced ones are sitting. The difference comes down to strategy.
For buyers: Rates are sitting near 6% -- down from 6.75-7% this time last year. On a $450,000 home, that's roughly $200/month back in your pocket. Inventory is up (811 new listings vs. 753 last year), which means more options without the same pressure cooker competition.

Tax season is here, and for many homeowners and future buyers, a tax refund can create an exciting financial opportunity. While it can be tempting to spend your tax return on short-term purchases, using those funds strategically in real estate can create long-term value, build equity, and improve your financial future. The Huemmer Home Team, your local real estate expert, helps clients every year turn their tax returns into smart real estate investments that pay off for years to come.
One of the smartest ways to use your tax return is saving for a down payment on a home. Many buyers believe they need twenty percent down to purchase a home, but that is not always the case. Several loan programs allow buyers to purchase with significantly less, sometimes as low as three to five percent down. Your tax return could be the boost that helps you reach that milestone faster. Even if you are not ready to purchase immediately, setting aside your tax return for a future home purchase can ...
