Latest Success Story

An investor was offered a no-rehab, multi-unit property. While he initially delayed closing, the property sky-rocketed in value. The seller was wanting to cancel the contract, unless the buyer could close by the original deadline.  Against a tight timeline, the borrower approached EquityMax to close quickly, or else he would risk losing all the added equity gained in the property.

Driving Factors For Wisconsin Real Estate Market

Buyers Seeking Cheaper Alternatives

With residential values rising 12.6% from last year, homebuyers may seek cheaper cities to live in, such as Janesville, where homes are $18,000 less than the state’s median average. Additionally, its proximity between Madison and Chicago make it an appealing option for residents looking to afford a house with the ability to stay relatively close to large cities.

Low Inventory Driving Prices

For nine straight years, real estate prices have risen in Wisconsin. While many factors have played into that over the years, a lack of recent inventory is the most prominent reason values have increased so dramatically. With COVID-19 minimizing ground up projects, new construction inventory may take some time to develop.

More Buyers Becoming Renters

With the current conditions of the real estate market, potential homebuyers are coming to grips that it’s actually cheaper to rent in the Badger State right now. With a 14.82 price-to-rent ratio, long-term strategies such as rental properties present a great opportunity for investors to take advantage of as landlords.

EquityMax Insight

While the state’s economy has improved following the COVID-19 Pandemic, Wisconsin still faces a lack of inventory similar to the rest of the country. Therefore, even though limited opportunities exist for investors, generous profit margins on deals are still available and investors should follow the market closely so they can take advantage of deals as they arise. Additionally, rental unit demand has increased across the state which has paved the way for investors to profit from increased rental income margins.
