Weekend Weed Out In Madison Real Estate

Madison Real Estate News Week In Review

Looking out the window at the neighbor’s rooflines I notice leaves gather on the rooftops. Is fall going to come early this year? Is it just from the extreme heat? Does weather have anything to do with the real estate market?

This week was interesting. If I would have had time,  I would have probably written blogs like:

The Importance Of A Home Warranty From A Good Company and How To Survive With Out Hot Water For Five Days

Maybe I will write these next week, but for now here is the news that may or may not have anything to do with Madison Real Estate.

Ground was broken in June for the 42-unit Water Crest condominiums on Lake Monona.
The development, at 101 Ferchland Place, is near Monona Drive and Cottage Grove Road in Monona. The $17 million project includes one- to three-bedroom condominiums priced from $189,000 to $775,000, said developer Kevin Metcalfe of Metcalfe Co. All but four units have a view of Lake Monona and the Madison skyline.

Dane County would spend up to $27.5 million to purchase parks and open space over five years under a new conservation plan announced Monday.The conservation fund would replace the existing fund, which has raised $27.8 million since 1999, when three out of four voters approved a non-binding referendum designed to raise $30 million in a decade.

Madison defines who I am. I live here because it shows me where I was, who I am, and where I will go. There is much discussion on the influence of Generation Y and Generation X on the workforce, but attention is increasingly being shined on the power of place. Two-thirds of college-educated young adults 25-34, in fact, say they will pick a place to live first. Work comes second.

The view along here hasn’t changed much since 1915, except that the downtown skyline has filled out a bit. Meanwhile, a whole generation of willow trees that were planted along the lake years after the picture was taken have grown old, been designated hazard trees, and been taken down.
