Changes in the commercial market?

Nine commercial properties totaling almost $2.7 million were sold in Dane County in December. That's almost 3 times the sold dollar amount from the 3 previous months combined. (All numbers come from the South Central Wisconsin MLS).

However, commercial sales in 2009 ended the year at just over $13 million. That's the lowest sales total of the decade.



Let's hope we see more encouraging months like the month of December in the near future. There is reason to believe so, as Dane County foreclosures decreased for the first time in 34 months in January (more on these numbers coming soon).
