Obligatory quarterly question, I know...

I've been keeping tabs on it over the past year or so as I'm weighing a move later this summer... I know inventory (housing shortage) is an ongoing problem, but how does it feel like the market is going now that we're in a war/gas prices are high/more frequent floods/etc? A realtor I spoke with said she's seeing more buyers backing out of contracts and she hasn't seen this happening at this rate in a number of years, though - fwiw - this may not actually be a trend as I've only heard this from her.

Any insight is helpful from buyers, sellers, realtors, or anyone else with an opinion on the matter! Thx!

hey all!

I was born and raised in Milwaukee, lived there until 2011. All of my family still lives there. (and all of them already have several cats lol)

I live in Vermont now but follow this Milwaukee rescue on FB and they have been looking for a foster for this sweet tuxedo cat for over 6 months 😞

I wish I could do more to help but I've exhausted all of my personal Milwaukee connections and I am hoping that someone here might be who Meg (the cat) needs, or you might know someone who would be a good fit.

Please contact Milwaukee Pets Alive directly to foster! And please share! ❤️

Hello all,

I plan to purchase a property ( open to SFH /duplex)this summer in ‘tosa/tosa adjacent neighborhoods. I am interested in a realtor that wakes up every day to do their job and is able to offer sound advice on big ticket items, approx. cost to fix/replace items in a home. Knowledge of construction is PREFERRED. If you can’t drive a nail straight or have never held a hammer, you are prolly not the right fit. I want someone to have my interests in mind with each new property that pops up, not just idly send me listings without comment. Realtor must be responsive during work hours in a timely manner. Specifically, respond to a text within the hour and get in to a property the first day it hits the market. They need to have intimate knowledge of the different pockets in the area and the $$$ nuances that go along with it. I expect them to arrive at a showing with recent comps in hand and ready to put in an offer. I’m not interested in door opener or someone who views real estate as a part-time hobby. I won’t discuss price specifics until I interview the realtor. Also, I like to see a presence in the MLS of the brokerage that employs them. I.e., they do plenty of business around town. If this sounds like you or someone you know please message me. I appreciate any help. TIA!

EDIT: names without specifics aren’t helpful. Person most likely is from/lives in area & has history of dealing in properties 300k+

Harmonee Accident Witness

I know this is a long shot but I’m seeing if anyone saw the accident I was in today on the corner of Harmonee and Harwood turning into the bridge around 5:30 p.m. I was in the white Tacoma. In the heat of the moment, I forgot to get a witness and now, what I thought was clearly not my fault, I am being blamed by the other driver for. Police are leaving it up to insurance to figure out. Figured this might be worth a shot.
