Tight inventories continue to impact housing market
In response to recent data, Mary Jo Bowe, who served as chair of the Wisconsin Realtors Association’s Board of Directors, said while the mortgage rate had come down over the past year, high rates “create significant problems for first-time buyers who rely heavily on financing to buy homes.”
State remains a strong seller’s market, latest numbers reveal
The Wisconsin REALTORS Association (WRA) recently released its November 2024 Wisconsin Real Estate Report, showing the state remains a strong seller’s market with a limited amount of inventory.
Available supply is only at 3.3 months, well below the level of a balanced market. Affordability remains a challenge for first-

time homebuyers who lack equity from the sale of an existing home, coupled with struggles regarding 30-year fixed-rate mortgages, which have been rising for the last two months.
Mary Jo Bowe, 2024 Chair of the Board of Directors for the WRA, commented on the year’s fluctuating mortgage rates.
“The 30-year mortgage rate has clearly come down over the last year after it peaked at almost 8% at the end of October 2023. However, the rate has stayed in the upper 6% to low 7% range for much of this year, and it averaged 6.8% in November,” Bowe said. “High mortgage rates create significant affordability problems for firsttime buyers who rely heavily on financing to buy homes.”
Tom Larson, WRA president and CEO, shed light on potential off-peak home buying advantages.

“Home sales are generally slower during the winter months, but there are some potential advantages to buying during this time of year,” Larson said.
“You will likely face less competition from other buyers, and as a result, you can expect more flexibility from sellers who are motivated to list their homes during this slower season for sales,” he added.
David Clark, Professor Emeritus of Economics and WRA Consultant, spoke to a possibility of another short-term rate decrease prior to the December meeting and rate cut by the feds.
“The Federal Open Market Committee, which is the rate-setting committee for the Fed, meets the week before Christmas to decide whether to lower the short-term Federal Funds rate. There is widespread

speculation that the Fed will reduce the rate by another quarter point, which will mean a full percent reduction since it began cutting rates in September,” Clark said prior to the meeting.
“While a quarter-point cut in December won’t be surprising, recent minor upticks in inflation have led Chairman Powell to suggest that the Fed can afford to be cautious as we move into the new year. With the economy currently at full employment, the Fed wants to avoid reigniting inflationary pressures in the economy,” he added.
Report highlights
The inventory of available homes remains very tight even as solid demand conditions persist. The mismatch between supply and demand has limited sales growth and driven up home prices.
November existing home sales rose by a modest 1.7% compared to November 2023, and the median price rose 10.8% to $310,000 over that same 12-month period. On a year-to-date basis, home sales were up 4.1% compared to the January-throughNovember period in 2023, and the median price rose 8.8% to $310,000.
November sales varied across regions, with solid growth in the South Central region, up 6.9%, and the West, up 15.3%;
relatively flat sales in the Central region, down 0.2%, and the Southeast, up 1.2%; and weaker sales in the Northeast, down 4.4%, and the North, down 5.1%. In contrast, year-to-date growth for 2024 was consistently positive across regions ranging from 1.8% to 6.4%, compared to the first 11 months of last year.
Although there was improvement in total listings, which were up 7.9% compared to November 2023, the housing market remains a strong seller’s market, with just
3.3 months of available supply. This is well below the six-month benchmark that characterizes a balanced market.
Affordability remains a significant challenge, especially for first-time buyers who don’t have equity from the sale of an existing home to apply. Although 30-year fixed rate mortgage rates are more than a half percent lower than November 2023, they have been rising the last two months.
The Wisconsin Housing Affordability Index shows the portion of the medianpriced home that a buyer with median family income can purchase, assuming 20% down and the remaining balance financed with a 30-year fixed mortgage rate. The index fell 3.2% since November 2023.

How to determine if the time is right to downsize
Considerations include real estate prices, housing expenses and emotional attachment
The phrase “bigger is better” has endured for quite some time. Though it may be impossible to pinpoint precisely who coined the phrase, its lesson that larger things tend to be more valuable than smaller alternatives is applicable in numerous situations.
But no adage is applicable to every situation, and in some instances people may find that bigger is not better.
Downsizing is an approach many individuals consider after turning 50 though it’s certainly not limited to people beyond that age.
Parents who are empty nesters and others nearing retirement may wonder if the time is right to downsize from their current homes. But families with youngsters seeking to lower their housing costs might also be looking at making such a change.
Though it’s a strategy millions of people have adopted over time, the decision is not always so simple. Individuals who are trying to determine if downsizing is right for them can consider a host of factors before making a decision.
Monthly housing expenses
Before downsizing their homes,
individuals should determine just how much they’re currently spending on housing. Individuals who have fixed rate mortgages likely know the amount of their monthly mortgage payment, which is the starting point.
But what about maintenance? Home maintenance expenses fluctuate, but a careful examination of the previous 12 months’ expenditures can give homeowners an idea of just how much they’re spending to maintain their properties. The number may be eye-opening, as Thumbtack’s “Home Care Price Index” released in the third quarter of 2024 revealed that the average annual cost to maintain a single family home reached an all-time high of $10,433.
If such expenses are preventing homeowners from building their retirement nest eggs, then it might be time to seek alternative housing.
Real estate prices
Real estate prices have skyrocketed in recent years, which can be both good and bad for current homeowners considering downsizing.
Many people who downsize look to move from a single-family home into a condominium, where maintenance tasks are typically handled by a homeowners’ association (HOA). Such communities typically charge HOA fees, which can be minimal or considerable.
In addition, the price of condominiums has risen in recent years, with the lender New American Funding reporting in early
2024 that the median sale price of a condo reached $341,000.
So, homeowners who want to downsize their homes may end up taking most of the profit from selling their current properties and reinvesting it in a costly condo.
Some may deem that worthwhile, while others may find the cost savings of downsizing in the current market are negligible.
Emotional attachment
Downsizing may be considered with cost savings in mind, but it’s important to consider your emotional attachment to your current home.
Many homeowners have raised their families in their current homes, and letting go of a property where so many memories were made can be difficult.
Homeowners who are not prepared to move on from properties that are meaningful to them and their families can consider additional ways to downsize their financial obligations.
Downsizing is something many homeowners consider, especially those over the age of 50. Any decision regarding downsizing is best made after considering a range of variables.

Savings tips for homeowners
Improved insulation and heat pump HVAC worth consideration
By Doug Anderson ENERGY STAR CERTIFIED PRODUCTS
Your home’s heating and cooling account for nearly half of your annual energy use – which, for the average American household, costs approximately $900 per year.
Improving your heating and cooling efficiency can go a long way toward saving energy and money in the long run, and upgrading your HVAC to superefficient heat pump technology is one of the most effective ways to achieve this.
Heat pumps have become increasingly popular due to their superior efficiency, their ability to both heat and cool your home, and because numerous financial incentives make them more affordable.
If you are thinking about upgrading your home’s heating and cooling system, consider an ENERGY
STAR-certified heat pump.
Heat pumps that have earned the ENERGY STAR label can save you hundreds of dollars per year on energy costs and are available in different types such as central heat pumps, mini-split heat pumps, and geothermal heat pumps.
But, to get the most out of a new highperformance heat pump, you should think beyond the equipment you might install and consider the space you are trying to heat and cool.
As it turns out, other factors affect your HVAC system’s performance and overall efficiency, such as your home’s insulation.
Insulation, air sealing help – a lot
If you improve the insulation in your home, a new heat pump won’t need to work as hard to regulate temperatures. Making these improvements at the same time helps keep your home more comfortable and increase your energy savings even more.
The attic is the best place to start improving insulation levels. Since attics are often unfinished, sealing air leaks and adding insulation is typically easy and not very expensive.
Warm air rises
If there are holes in the attic floor and low insulation levels, that warm air will rise right out of the top of the house.
Sealing air leaks and adding insulation in the attic can hold that warm air in and block the cold outdoor air. In summer, the sun beats down on the roof, overheating the air in the attic.
Adding insulation in the attic prevents that heat from getting into the house, which increases comfort and reduces cooling costs.
Tax credits, rebates
There may never be a better time or reason to do these things together, with incentives to help pay for each part of
the project. Tax credits and rebates are available for high-performance heat pump installations and for sealing and insulating attic floors.
Incentives include Federal Income Tax credits of up to $2,000 for a heat pump and $1,200 for insulation. Many local utilities also offer rebates for these improvements, and some states offer rebates on home energy upgrades.
Learn more about home upgrades
Upgrading to an ENERGY STAR heat pump and improving your attic insulation are two elements of an ENERGY STAR Home Upgrade – a set of six high-impact improvements designed to work together to deliver significant energy and cost savings. You can learn more about heat pumps, attic sealing, and insulation via the ENERGY STAR Home Upgrade Tool by visiting the website at energystar.gov/ homeupgrade. (NAPS)
Improving your heating and cooling efficiency – including having new insulation installed – can go a long way toward saving energy and money in the long run. Upgrading your HVAC to super-efficient heat pump technology is also worth consideration as it’s one of the most effective ways to improve efficiency. PEXELS.COM PHOTO Homes & Design
Top backyarding trends for 2025
It’s not too early to start planning for upgrades to your
outdoor space
The popularity of backyarding will continue to increase in 2025, says the TurfMutt Foundation, which has encouraged outdoor living and caring for green spaces for the last 15 years.
Backyarding is the act of moving everyday activities like dining, entertaining, relaxing, and working to the outdoor green space around us, such as family yards, parks, sports fields, and other green areas.
“Things are always changing economically, culturally, and in terms of what people prioritize in their lives; however, the importance of the family backyard and community parks remains consistent,” said Kris Kiser, President & CEO of the TurfMutt Foundation.
“People have come to appreciate the many health, well-being, environmental, and economic benefits of the green space around us, and communities should be making it a greater priority,” Kiser added.
Here are the top backyarding trends the
TurfMutt Foundation has identified for 2025:
The need for urban backyarding will increase
Homebuyers moved to the suburbs in droves during the pandemic, but mandates to return to in-person workspaces continue driving people back to city centers.
This means greater importance on making the most of small urban backyards, balconies, or patio gardens.
There will also be an increased desire for “public backyarding” spaces like neighborhood parks, pocket parks, community gardens, dog parks, and more.
Cities investing in green space will be sought after
Community investment in spaces for “public backyarding” as a keystone amenity has proven to produce happier residents.
Green space makes cities more livable, creates wildlife habitats, and improves environmental conditions within city corridors.
One city of ahead of this trend is Louisville, which features with Mulligan’s Bark Park and The TurfMutt Foundation Great Lawn, which are both located in the city’s historic downtown.
Outdoor activity areas will accommodate all ages
According to the National Association of REALTORS, there are now more multi-generational households than ever before. This is largely because of the cost of homeownership and the need to pool money to afford housing.
Other factors are an aging population that requires care or young adults “boomeranging” back home due to high housing costs.
Backyards will be revamped for flexible activity zones that accommodate all manner of activities.
Backyards will become wellness retreats
The focus on improving mental health in big and small ways will continue to gain steam in 2025, and the backyard and public green space will play a pivotal role.
People will set up calming spaces in their yards to support a slower lifestyle, seek out opportunities to disconnect from technology, and reconnect to the natural world right at their backdoor and in neighborhood parks.
Pet-friendly spaces will level up
More than 66% of American households own a pet, and more millennials are
choosing pets over having kids.
Expect greater pet pampering in the backyard with water fountains, digging areas, and at-home agility courses.
Pet lovers also will seek out communities that cater to their canines with dog parks like Mulligan’s Bark Park, agility courses, splash pads, pet-friendly shopping and dining corridors, and more.
To learn more about the TurfMutt Foundation, visit TurfMutt.com, where
visitors can download the TurfMutt Foundation’s International Backyarding Fact Book.
Additionally, visitors to the site can sign up for Mutt Mail, a monthly e-newsletter with backyarding tips and all the news from the TurfMutt Foundation. Mulligan the TurfMutt is featured on the CBS Lucky Dog television show on Saturday mornings.

Design House highlights projects that are low cost but deliver high impact
Housing prices may be as expensive as ever, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you have to put your plans for a dream home on hold.
Rather than purchasing a new house, many homeowners are instead opting to improve their current living spaces through redecorating and Do-It-Yourself projects. You don’t have to be a DIY expert to get started – many of these projects are extremely approachable, helping you to upgrade your home without breaking the bank.
What you can do
There are seemingly endless possibilities when it comes to home improvement, so it might be overwhelming to determine where to begin.
To give you some inspiration, the experts at Design House have shared five DIYprojects that are low cost and can result in high impact on your home.
• Get a handle on hardware –Replacing hardware on your kitchen cabinets, vanity pulls, hinges, or doorstops can create an instant makeover and is a DIY project anyone can take on.
Selecting new hardware allows you to explore trending designs that immediately make a dated home more current.
An affordable upgrade, hardware is often sold in convenient, pre-packed quantities and can often be purchased for less than $100.
• Install a lamp post – Lamp posts are a great way to increase the curb appeal of your home, adding beauty to entranceways, walkways, and paths.
As an added benefit they can also provide increased safety after dark and help with easier navigation from place to place at night.
• Add a medicine cabinet to your bathroom – Give your bathroom a refresh by installing a medicine cabinet.
In addition to providing extra storage, medicine cabinet designs offer a variety of styles and sizes to choose from that will best fit both your aesthetic and functional needs.
• Update with upholstered seating – If you have an open floor plan, explore
incorporating upholstered seating throughout your kitchen and dining areas.
At the bar, counter, and dining areas, utilizing upholstered seating is a simple way to enhance your home with touches of luxury.
• Brighten a room with a mirror –Mirrors reflect light, which can result in making a room appear more open and illuminated. Adding a mirror can have the effect of an additional window or light source.
By strategically placing a mirror on the wall, you can enhance both the lighting and
spatial qualities of a room.
These are several of the many projects anyone can take on without extensive DIY experience.
In addition to being affordable, all of these upgrades can have a high impact when it comes to enhancing your home.

It’s the year of the monstera plant
Kick-off 2025 with the addition of a monstera plant to your indoor garden. You’ll join other gardeners observing 2025 as the Year of the Monstera.
Grow monsteras in a quality welldrained potting mix in a container with drainage holes. Water them thoroughly when the top two inches of soil are dry.
Pour off excess water or place the pot on pebbles in a saucer. The pebbles elevate the pot above any water that collects in the saucer to avoid root rot. As this water evaporates, humidity increases around the plant.
Support the plant with a moss pole or trellis as it starts to climb. The large aerial roots attach to nearby surfaces to help them climb. In nature, these roots help monsteras to climb trees and have been used to make rope in Peru and baskets in Mexico.
By MELINDA MYERS Contributor
Each year, the National Garden Bureau selects and celebrates one plant in each of the following categories: annual, perennial, bulb, edible, and shrub. The plants are chosen for their popularity, easycare nature, adaptability, diversity, and versatility.
Monstera certainly meets the criteria and as the bureau declared it is “the world’s most iconic indoor plant.” The large, glossy heart-shaped leaves have distinct perforations called fenestrations. Scientists speculate these holes allow tropical downpours to pass through, minimizing plant damage.
There are several different monsteras, ranging in size and leaf shape including some with variegated leaves. Some are easy to grow while others are a bit fussier. Always check the plant label for specifics on caring for the monstera you select.
One of the most popular and readily available is the Monstera deliciosa, commonly called split-leaf philodendron, even though it is not a philodendron. It’s known for its large heart-shaped perforated leaves on thick stems. In its native habitat, it can grow 66 feet tall but typically grows up to 7 or 8 feet indoors.
The flowers that seldom appear indoors are like a peace lily with a cone-shaped structure (spadix) surrounded by a cupped white sheath (spathe). The flowers may be followed by an edible fruit that tastes like a combination of pineapple, banana, and mango. This flavorful combination inspired its nickname, fruit salad plant, and the botanical name that translates to delicious monstrosity.
In general, these tropical beauties prefer growing conditions like that of their native habitat. They prefer bright, filtered indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight that can scorch or cause leaves to turn yellow.
The National Garden Bureau has declared 2025 as the Year of the Monstera, referring to it as “the world’s most iconic indoor plant.”

Further boost the humidity by placing your monstera with other plants. As one plant loses moisture or transpires, the neighboring plants will benefit.
Only apply houseplant fertilizer when the plants are actively growing, usually March through October. Let the plant and your garden goals be your fertilization guide. Fertilizers provide needed nutrients to plants in need of a nutrient boost or when you want to stimulate more growth.
Use these beauties to create an indoor tropical paradise or to provide some green relief. No matter your indoor décor, this unique plant will make a welcome addition.

Be aware of garage door repair scams
Unfortunately, garage door repair scams are common and can leave homeowners to be taken advantage of. The Better Business Bureau Scam Tracker has numerous reports of unscrupulous emergency garage door repair companies who take advantage of homeowners needing repair services.
These companies target homeowners by advertising their emergency repair services, then inflating the amount of work needed or the parts needed for repair.
They often take advantage of urgent situations and prey on the homeowners’ lack of knowledge of garage door parts and service costs.
Warning signs
Business name: Garage door scammers often use multiple names that are generic and unclear and not listed as a legally registered business with the state.
No physical address: Garage door scammers do not have a legitimate physical showroom or will use a fake address. Scammers may only provide a phone number or an email address and avoid giving you a verifiable location.
Lack of identification: Legitimate repair professionals typically wear uniforms, have identification, and drive company-branded vehicles. Be skeptical if the individual does
not have proper identification or a marked vehicle.
Unrealistic low prices: Many scams advertise a low fee for the service call, only to demand more money for additional “repairs.” If a quote seems too good to be true, it probably is.
High-pressure sales tactics: Scammers may use high-pressure tactics to convince you that your garage door requires immediate and costly repairs. They may insist that you should not wait, and they may demand payment upfront.
Payment upfront: Be cautious of any repair service that demands payment in full before any work is completed. Reputable companies will provide a detailed estimate and allow you to pay after the work is finished.
Tips to avoid scams
Research the company: Listen to the company’s name, ask for their address when they answer the phone, and compare it to their advertisement – does it match? Look up the company’s name and address online and add the words “Complaint,” “Review,” and/or “Scam” to see what others are saying. Get multiple estimates: Always get multiple quotes for repair work. This will help you understand the average cost of the
SERVICE CORNER
repair and identify any outliers.
Ask for credentials: Request proof of insurance, licensing, qualifications, and identification from anyone visiting your home for repairs. A qualified technician should be able to explain the problem and solution clearly.
Get everything in writing: Before any work begins, make sure you have a written estimate that details the scope of work, materials, and costs.
Take your time: Don’t feel pressured to make a quick decision. Scammers thrive on urgency, so take your time to research, evaluate options, and understand pricing.
Trust your instincts: If something doesn’t feel right or you’re uncomfortable with the technician or company, trust your instincts and consider seeking another option.
Remember that due diligence is key when hiring any service provider. Researching and choosing a reputable garage door repair company can save you money and frustration in the long run.
A reputable garage door repair company will prioritize your safety and provide transparent and fair pricing. Stay vigilant and informed to avoid falling victim.
