Great new listing at 1075 N Honey Creek Parkway Wauwatosa

Brad Koenig — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 21:50:24 +0000

I just listed a great new listing in Wauwatosa. 1075 N Honey Creek Parkway, Wauwatosa.

This 4 bedroom 2.5 bath home has over 2300 sq ft not including the finished basement. Many updates have been done to this home to make it move in ready. Located just one block from St Judes Catholic School Only a couple homes were built on this very private parkway. This a great home in a great location.

Call today for a private showing

Wisconsin High Speed Rail

Brad Koenig — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 16:28:09 +0000

Wisconsin is looking at building a high speed train that runs from Milwaukee to Madison. The Federal goverment would provide an 800 million grant which only cover the start of construction. It would rely heaviliy on goverment subsidies to operate. Looking through the DOT website you can download the current rail report
http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/projects/state/docs/rail-issues.pdf

The report “summarizes critical rail transportation issues, suggests opportunities for public sector involvement, and points out areas where additional research is needed.”

With an excellent freeway system which brings the current commute to an hour, do we really need this? This reminds me of an old Simpson episode that makes fun of the monorail salesperson coming into town. He leads the town to believe that this will solve all their problems. A remake from the poplar musical “Music man”

So what are your thoughts would you ride the rail? If so what you be willing to pay for a round trip between the two cities? I would be curious to hear your thougths!

Do you still want an Open House?

Brad Koenig — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 15:33:56 +0000

Here is another article to read if you are considering having an open house on your home.
http://www.wauwatosanow.com/news/85037257.html

During a busy open house a agent can’t watch everyone.

Private showings allow for more security.

Buyers can preview homes online with videos and more photos. There is no reason to host a home open hoping that magical buyer walks through.
