CLIENT TESTIMONIAL🤍

“Taylor is a straight shooter who knows how to get the deal done. I will be going through Taylor for all my real estate needs moving forward. Highly impressed and highly recommend”

❤️ Community Event! | Taste on The Lake - Pewaukee Lake Beach

Last weekend I had the pleasure of representing Shorewest Realtors at the “Taste on The Lake” event on Pewaukee Lake Beach! ☀️🏖️

It was a wonderful event that connected the community with local sponsors & businesses while enjoying live music, restaurants, food trucks & more!

Myself & Donna were at the Shorewest tent handing out glow sticks, slim can-coozies, and a Target gift card giveaway! We were able to connect with many people within the community & have fun while doing it! 😊

🚨PSA TO HOMEBUYERS!🚨

I’m not going to sit here and lecture you on why you shouldn’t get your daily Starbucks or to cancel your Netflix subscription if you want to become a homeowner. Because that’s not true!

What I am going to tell you, that if owning a home is on your vision board this year, I want to help you make that vision a reality!!🏠🤍✨

That “Congrats on your new home” card, housewarming party, and late night pizza parties in your own home could be a lot closer than you think!

And if you feel intimidated by the competitive market, don’t!

I promise, you can get through it! You just need a little help from a friend (a friend who has their real estate license and your best interest at heart)!

If you want homeownership to go from just a thought on your vision board to a reality, take the first baby step & let’s chat!!👇🏼

CLIENT TESTINONIAL🤍

“Working with Taylor to help us find our new home was a pleasure. She was extremely accommodating to our needs and was available at a moment’s notice. It didn’t take her long to figure out what was most important to us and she would highlight the homes that fit our needs. In a very skillful way, she helped us to prioritize our needs and hopes. She was very respectful and considerate to both us and the sellers, which made for an enjoyable experience. Our search spanned quite a few months, and Taylor’s perseverance and dedication was exemplary. In the end we purchased the perfect home and are grateful for Taylor’s guidance and help. We would absolutely have Taylor on our team if we were to buy or sell a home in the future.”

METRO MILWAUKEE MARKET UPDATE | JUNE 2024

HOME SALES

• Home sales in the Metro Milwaukee market were down 7% compared to a year ago. This marks the first time sales slipped in 2024.

• The lower sales figures were in the $300,000 and under price point - which primarily consisted of 1st time buyers

LISTINGS

• Listings in the Metro Milwaukee market and the down for the month of June by 5.6% compared to a year ago.

HOME PRICES

• Priced continued their upward trajectory - going up 5.9% in the Metro Milwaukee market from $409,885 in 2023 to $434,100 through the 2nd quarter of this year. 2nd quarter (April, May, June) home prices are on a 12 year streak, beginning in 2012!

• This escalation in prices can be attributed to the persistent issue of limited new listing and new construction - a problem that has been endured for years.

But there is some good news in the new construction sector!

NEW CONSTRUCTION

• Through May, 835 new construction permits for single family & two family units were taken out in the 4 county area (Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee, Washington). That is 44.7% above the same period in 2023! Good news, but still well below the production level needed to meet market demand.

• New construction would normally add 3,000 to 4,000 units to the market annually, but that market segment has been down by about 50% since 2007.

SUPPLY & DEMAND

• The supply of inventory on hand was only enough to satisfy 2.9 months of buyer demand in June, and if we subtract units with an offer, that level drop to 1.1 months, significantly below the balanced market of 6 months worth of inventory.

WHY BUYERS NEED TO BE PREPARED FOR THIS MARKET & ANY MARKET

1. TO AVOID FRUSTRATION AND OVERWHELM - Without talking to a real estate agent to learn how the process works, timelines to expect, and costs that are involved, chances are you’re going to experience a lot of frustration and overwhelm throughout the process.

2. TO UNDERSTAND THE NATURE OF THE MARKET AND WHAT TO EXPECT - House hunting in a seller’s market looks a lot different than a buyer’s market.

Understanding what kind of market you’re house hunting in - what homes are selling for, if they’re selling over the asking price, how much competition there is and how quickly you’ll need to move are so important to know before you start house hunting!

3. TO HAVE REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS ABOUT THE PROCESS - This goes hand in hand with 1 and 2.

Buying a house (for real) looks a lot different than what you see on HGTV and Selling Sunset. You don’t look at 3 homes and magically choose the perfect one and boom you’re a homeowner. There are a lot of steps before you get to closing day.

Understanding how it all works will give you realistic expectations about how long it could be before you find a home, how much people are paying for homes in your area, and how to position yourself for success.

I’m here to guide you through all of it and it all starts with just a conversation!☺️

DID YOU KNOW agents leave private remarks for other agents to see in the MLS about each listing?

This includes info about preferred closing date, offer timelines, property history, and any other special circumstances.

The offers presented by agents with access to the MLS are more likely to be accepted for many reasons, but this fact alone is a huge reason why!

Just because you CAN do something without a professional doesn’t always mean you SHOULD, especially when it comes to one of the largest investments you’ll ever make.

So call your hairstylist, call your dentist, and call your local real estate agent 🙋🏻‍♀️

SMALL CHANGES TO YOUR HOUSE TO MAKE IT FEEL BRAND NEW ✨

Have you heard of the 1% better every day concept?

What if you applied a similar concept to your house? Every day, do something to make it 1% better (even if some days that means folding the laundry right when it comes out of the dryer - is anyone else guilty of not doing this?)

Here are 8 small changes to make your house feel new!

SWIPE TO REVEAL

1. Replace cabinet hardware - This is such a game changer for your kitchen aesthetic 🤩

2. Add a statement mirror - I’m currently loving the floor length arch shaped mirrors!

3. Invest in new window treatments - Hang them higher than the windows to create the feeling of higher ceilings.

4. Update light fixtures - Start with the entryway and work your way through the home to see what other spaces might be in need of a little glow up.

5. Add a new plant (to every room) - Plant life is trending in interior design this year and brings so much life into a space.

6. Add an area rug that fits your space for an updated look - Check out Ruggable - they’re machine washable, so perfect for pets and kiddos.

7. Replace light bulbs - Get all matching bulbs and brighten things up!

8. Upgrade your linens - You deserve to sleep in luxury! *Go neutral, especially if you’re thinking about selling this year!

Which one does your house need most?

| CLIENT TESTIMONIAL🤍

“Taylor Knouse is an outstanding realtor. I have worked with many realtors and she was by far the best. She was organized, detailed, and very knowledgeable. She did her research and reached out to her sources to get their opinions on offers coming in, and would the house really appraise at the high offers. Very resourceful and this gave us the confidence to accept the right offer. The house did appraise for the offer accepted. Couldn’t be happier and more satisfied with our experience with Taylor. Thank you, Taylor”

This one makes my heart happy!! My good friends closed on their first home yesterday!🏠❤️ I can’t wait to see them grow & embrace this new chapter together!

| APRIL 2024 • METRO MILWAUKEE MARKET UPDATE

Metro Milwaukee = Milwaukee County, Waukesha County, Ozaukee County & Washington County

| HOME SALES

Metro Milwaukee home sales were up 17.9% in April 2024 from April 2023

April 2023 - 1,240 sales
April 2024 - 1,452 sales

• Sales have been up for the fourth straight month

| LISTINGS

Listings increased 17.3% in April 2024 from April 2023

April 2023 - 1,669 Listings
April 2024 - 1,958 Listings

| AVERAGE SALE PRICE

Average Sale Price increased 3.5%

• There is a large amount of buyer demand in this market - so when listings increased, buyers absorbed them, resulting in an increase in overall sales. Typically, when listings increase, prices will moderate because buyers have more options, however, we are still in an extremely low-listing market, which is why prices rose 3.5% in April.

Remember, when supply is low, demand is high!

While there was an increase in listings, the market is still in desperate need of more inventory. The Metro Mikwaukee market would need an ADDITIONAL 4,625 listings in order to achieve a balanced market
