Then I took a little deeper dive and I looked at the waterfront parts of those counties as well. And the interesting thing, if you break it down to waterfront, some of those prices are up over 40%. Oneida county up about on waterfront sales, I think it was 34%, Lincoln county 41%. So some really significant price increases for some of the townships in which we work, in the counties in which we work, when you especially look at waterfront sales. So again, all strong indicators that our market is still moving in northern Wisconsin. 

Then I took it to the whole market and I said let's look at sales here to date by $250k price increments. And see where we're seeing the largest effect with interest rates, the political environment we're currently living in, people's fear from the national news media and see really where we're being hit hardest by sales. And if you look at the $0 to $500k price point, they actually sold less units this year than last year and they had a slightly higher selling price compared to what they did last year. And the lower days on market, the 500K market up actually outperformed last year by units sold and by price. Again, not a significant amount, but those numbers did come in higher. 

And lastly, if we look at the million plus market, it outperformed by almost 30% compared to last year. We sold 40 homes so far this year to date and last year, 32 million plus homes. The average price on this segment of the market was actually lower and the days on market was lower by over 100% so which is another crazy stack. The really interesting thing though, if you looked at that million dollars press market, is that if you go back to Pre covid, when I pulled up the numbers from 2019, we sold 13 million homes year to date, and this year we're at 40 million. So what does that tells me? It tells me that the higher end market is not being affected by interest rates. They don't care what's happening in the government, they're still purchasing homes and they're finding value in Northern Wisconsin. It also tells me that they're being a little bit more shrewd in their negotiations because that was the one price segment that was down year over year on price. So they're being a little thriftier with their purchases, but they are definitely purchasing. And obviously, that $0 to $500k buyer is the buyer that is most affected by interest rates because their affordability has decreased. So they're being a little savvier with their purchase and not able to pull the trigger on what they want. 

So again, if you're ever interested in me dialing down something specific that you're looking for, whether you're a seller or a buyer, this is the stuff that I love to do. Give me a call, we would love to talk to you about the real estate market in up North Wisconsin and help guide you through the process. Have a great day and call with any questions.
