trends for early 2023
Home price appreciation is slowing...
Typically slower winter sales could mean better prices for buyers who act quickly.
...with positive implications for inflation
Slower growth in home prices helps to cool inflation.
Inventory remains low
A strong seller advantage remains in Wisconsin, but we see positive signs for prepared buyers.
in the words of our customers
There is no way to describe Sara [Glenn, True North Partner] in words other than superlatives. On a Wednesday afternoon, we met in her office and described what we thought would be the ideal Door County condominium. On Thursday afternoon she showed us 5 possibilities, although we could have stopped at #2 – it was the ideal made real.
On Friday afternoon Sara clearly explained the Wisconsin real estate purchase process (we’re from out of state) and drew up the contract conveying our offer. And on Saturday afternoon the offer was accepted.
Beginning immediately, Sara gave us expert guidance through a tight 21-day closing timeline that went without the hint of a hitch. In the meantime, she put us in touch with people from her network of experts – inspector, painter, local insurance broker, and title company manager – all of whom provided us with immediate, friendly assistance.
Sara Glenn is a superbly knowledgeable, responsive real estate professional who listens, anticipates, and delivers, all with the easygoing, personal manner of an old friend. She’s as good as it gets.

Our own Tad Gilster, who is more of a trail-oriented winter fat tire biker, has introduced several friends and family members to the sport: “They’re almost always amazed at how stable, how quick and how much fun fat tire bikes can be, especially when riding bikes with studded tires on snow,” says Tad. “There’s a certain freedom in wintertime riding — the whole concept is counter-intuitive but, because it works for all levels cycling skillsets, it allows the participant to define the experience for her or himself. It’s also a platform for unique adventures. I’ve ridden out to Chambers Island a couple of times and I’m sure that several other winter bikers have, too.”
