Kenosha is one of the nation's fastest growing markets. Ideally located between the two large cities (Chicago and Milwaukee) makes commuting a breeze. The housing market is on a constant increase ... condominiums and new construction continues to pave the way! Many new families come to Kenosha from the Illinois area finding a suitable and "quieter" place to live.
Interest rates are holding at the 5-6% percentile ... buyers are continuing to shop ... we've also seen gas prices coming back down! The selection process for homes is intense finding the home "ready to move right into". There are many lenders offering special loan packages including ARMs. We are also seeing many Buyers taking advantage of the Zero Down packages for those who qualify (they have great credit but are cash poor). So, Now is a great time for Homeowners to refinance or Home Buyers to purchase a home. The nicest homes are selling fast and those that are priced even a little too high are stagnating.
Home prices continue their upward trend in the Kenosha market. The median price for an existing single-family home sold in Kenosha County for July was $188,806 The median price for an existing duplex for July was $163,750 and Condminiums at $153,600. The Year to Date change from 2005 is -4.5% and from 2004 to 2006 is -7.4%.
ZIP Codes: 53140, 53142, 53143, 53144, 53158 Location Characteristics: In 1998 Kenosha was voted as one of the top places to bring up your family in the Reader's Digest. Located halfway between Chicago and Milwaukee with train services either way makes commuting a breeze. Kenosha is right off the lake and yet within minutes of camping, hiking, trails and shopping!
