Newspaper article reports local real estate sales up in 2nd Quarter

In the three county area (Winnebago, Outagamie and Calumet) real estate sales are up 14.1 percent in the second quarter of 2008 over 2007, according to a report on the WISINFO site.

Winnebago county sales are up 19.9 percent comparing 2008 with 2007. Outagamie sales were up 18.3 percent.

The report does not separate out commercial versus residential which can be wildly different. The report states the statistics are provided by the Realtor Association of Northeast Wisconsin. My attempts to find the report on our local board websites were unsuccessful. When the report is made available to the membership as opposed to the media, I will post the numbers.
