Sunset Village-SOLD!

Congratulations to the buyers and sellers of this house in Sunset Village!  With load of potential and in a beautiful spot, there are new adventures on the horizon for all.

If you know someone looking to buy or sell a home, have them contact me.  I'm happy to talk.

GLEAM!

Olbrich Boatanical Garden's GLEAM, Art in a New Light is wonderful! The exhibit pairs art installations with light.  It's also a great opportunity to see the gardens at night.

If you haven't had a chance to view, there are still a few opportunities.  The even is open Wednesday-Saturday from 6 p.m.-9p.m. through October.  Certainly worth the price of admission!

Church+House=Chouse!

Dramatic and lovingly refurbished, this former church is referred to in conversation as a 'chouse' since it now serves as both home, business & studio space for its current interior designer owner.

While chouse sounds diminutive, this 6000+ sq ft edifice is definitely majestic. Both commercial & residential zoning, property could serve as live/work space: Art studio & gallery space? Yoga studio?  Garden/event space?

Soaring ceilings, there is great acoustics in church Nave. Residence is spacious yet intimate!  Gourmet cook's kitchen, lovely Master Suite, Library, Office, Breakfast Nook and more!  

Located in Lake Mills, this property is extraordinary!  Intrigued?  Contact me for more information!

Crackle, Fire & Froth

Love Fall??  One of the best autumn events in Madison is Olbrich's Crackle, Fire & Froth!  Expanded to two evenings this year, the events include multiple bonfires on the Great Lawn, some of Madison's favorite food carts, craft beers and live music.  Stroll the lighted garden paths to enjoy all the garden has to offer at night.  Also, a bonus this year, Olbrich's lighted art display GLEAM, is also available for viewing.  What a great way to be inspired by the beauty of a crisp fall evening in Olbrich's outdoor gardens! 

Friday Sept. 28th, 7-10 p.m.
Friday Oct. 4th, 7-10 p.m.

Housing Supply is Improving but the Market Remains Competitive

The total months of available inventory increased more than 22 percent statewide in July from 2017 numbers, the Wisconsin REALTORS Association reported. Dane County saw a 15.6 percent increase over the same period of time.

 While we’re seeing an uptick on the number of homes on the market, they aren’t lasting long. Low unemployment and a strong economy continue to make for a strong seller’s market. On average, the period of time homes remained on the market declined by approximately 11.5 percent from July 2017 to 2018, according to the WRA. In Dane County that number declined 4.7 percent. 

With conditions continuing to create a competitive market, it's even more important to enlist the help of a Realtor.  Call me and we can chat!
