What Home Sellers Lose to Fees, Repairs and Holding Costs
One aspect of selling your home that often catches people off guard is how much of the final sale price goes toward fees, repairs, and holding costs. On a $300,000 home, it’s not uncommon for sellers to see 8%–12%—that’s $24,000–$36,000—go to commissions, closing costs, buyer credits, repairs, and carrying expenses. Commissions typically make up the largest share of these expenses. After 23 years helping Wisconsin clients buy and sell homes, I’ve seen firsthand how understanding these costs ahead of time can make a real difference in your experience and your bottom line.

Statewide home sales, prices continue upward trend
Wisconsin’s real estate market continues to heat up, with existing home sales up 8.1% and the median price reaching $360,000—a 6.8% increase. Inventory remains steady at 4.2 months. However, affordability has dipped by 4.1%, putting extra pressure on first-time buyers, especially as options at the lower price points become scarcer. After 23 years guiding clients through shifts just like this, I know how important it is to navigate both the opportunities and the challenges in today’s market. Whether you’re looking to buy, sell, or simply understand your options, I’m here to put my experience to work for you.

US Luxury Home Sales Vary Widely | www.scottmigacz.com
Luxury home sales across major US metros are painting a fascinating picture right now. Recent data from a listings platform shows top sales ranging from $3.7M all the way up to an impressive $130M, with other notable transactions at $47M, $40.2M, $40M, $21.2M, $19M, $18M, and $17.5M. What stands out is that in several markets, even the fifth-highest sale exceeded $10M—clear evidence of deep luxury demand in those areas. One particular market saw its top five sales tightly packed between $24M and $40M, hinting at a consistent level of high-end activity. These numbers are based on publicly marketed properties, so off-market and private deals might not be reflected, and in nondisclosure states, figures are based on listing prices. With over two decades of real estate experience and a focus on guiding clients through unique market dynamics, I always find these national trends offer valuable perspective—even as we navigate our own local Wisconsin market.

Total statewide property value rises 8%, crossing $1 trillion
The numbers are in: Wisconsin’s total equalized property value saw a significant jump of $74.6 billion in 2025—an 8% increase that pushes statewide value past the $1 trillion milestone. Residential properties contributed $51.7 billion to that growth, while commercial properties added $17.6 billion, thanks to a strong mix of market momentum and new construction. Over 23 years in Wisconsin real estate, I've seen firsthand how these shifts shape opportunities for both buyers and sellers. Staying informed on these trends is key to making confident decisions in our evolving market.

Midwest states rank among top 10 for livability
As someone who’s spent over two decades helping clients buy and sell homes across Wisconsin, it’s great to see our state recognized as the third-best in the nation for livability. Affordable housing, excellent healthcare, quality education, low unemployment, and a strong sense of safety all make Wisconsin a standout place to call home. Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, and Michigan also earned high marks, but Wisconsin’s balance of community and opportunity continues to set it apart. I’ve seen firsthand how these qualities shape the real estate experience for buyers and sellers alike.

Why American Buyers Are Finally Getting Leverage | www.scottmigacz.com
After 23 years guiding clients through Wisconsin’s real estate ups and downs, I’m seeing a real shift: buyers are finally gaining some leverage again. As competition cools in more markets, the days of bidding wars and rushed decisions are giving way to a landscape where you can actually weigh your options. Builders are trying to sweeten the deal with incentives, mortgage-rate buydowns, and price adjustments—clear signs that hesitant buyers have more say at the table. Of course, higher mortgage rates are still keeping many folks cautious, but the increase in available homes means there’s more room to find the right fit rather than feeling pressured to jump in. It’s a welcome change, especially for anyone who’s felt sidelined in the past few years.

Home sales pick up as inventory growth stays measured
June brought a noticeable uptick in U.S. home sales, with an 8.9% jump from May and a 7.8% increase compared to last year. The median price reached $460,000, rising 2.4% month-over-month. Inventory grew by 5% from May, giving buyers a bit more choice while still keeping the market competitive. Homes sold at 99% of the asking price, and average time on market was 43 days. With over two decades guiding clients through changing markets in Wisconsin, I’ve seen firsthand how subtle inventory shifts and pricing trends can shape your opportunities, whether you’re buying or selling. Understanding these dynamics is key to making smart moves.
