May 2026 Newsletter

This spring is full of opportunity.

May is here, and so is that fresh burst of energy we all feel as spring settles in. This month, I have to start with a heartfelt shout‑out to all the moms, where would we be without you?! Plus a very special thank you to my own mom, Moms deserve all the extra love and attention this weekend, and always, they do it year‑round for all of us! 💐

May is also a smart time to start preparing for your real estate goals. The market is gearing up, and the coming weeks are when things really become fully amped up. Being part of the market alongside the majority matters. For sellers, that means access to the biggest possible buyer pool. For buyers, it means more listings, more options, and a better chance of finding “the one.” 

Preparation now puts you in the strongest position when activity peaks. Southeast Wisconsin is seeing momentum build. Home sales in the SE WI region are up about 2.7% year over year, while new listings have increased by over 11%, giving buyers more choices than earlier this year. Median home prices remain strong—up roughly 6–8% compared to last year—and homes are averaging about 38 days on market, showing that well‑priced properties are still moving, just with a bit more balance than in past springs. This is exactly why preparing now for your real estate goals matters. The market will be fully amped up in the coming weeks, and being part of it with the majority is key.

Whether you’re planning to list, start shopping, or simply want to understand how these trends affect you personally, I’m here and ready for a conversation anytime. Let’s make a plan that works for you.
