Accunet Mortgage and Realty Show - August 30, 2025 Episode

Brian and David Wickert from Accunet Mortgage are back with straight talk about what’s really happening in southeastern Wisconsin’s housing market - and spoiler alert: it’s not what you’re reading in the headlines.

**Don’t Believe the Hype:** Those scary clickbait internet stories about now-record contract cancellations? Brian’s got your back: “Do not believe the national headlines.” Here in Milwaukee, we’re sitting pretty with just 8.3% cancellation rates vs. 15.3% nationwide - third lowest in the entire country. As David added, “85% of contracts kept going.”

**Your Market is Different:** While parts of the country have a surge in inventory, Milwaukee remains a solid seller’s market with buyers still going 55% over asking versus just 31% nationally. It’s a two-month supply locally compared to a nationwide supply of nearly five months.

**Real Stories, Real Success:** The guys share how their clients are winning - like the smart buyers who offered $4,000 over the list price on a house that had sat for three weeks. 

**Money-Saving Tips:** Get the inside scoop on condo financing (25% down can save you serious money) and how to navigate seller credits without headache.

No fluff, no fear-mongering - just honest advice from mortgage pros who actually care about your success.
