What is the average cost to build per square foot in Madison, WI?

Asked Wed Nov 21 2007, 07:08 by Reneerebes - Madison - Market Conditions - 2 answers

Chris Lukens answered:

The answer for your question lays with you the owner & your builder. The cost per Square ft is based on land cost, building material, and builder profit. The more features and up graded features will also play into your decision.

What I can offer you is a one on one meeting with one of Dane counties largest builders. We will help you put together a professional building plan with the cost per SQ ft being controlled by you. Would this be of interest to you. Contact me at http://www.chrislukenshomes.com - Wed Nov 21 2007, 11:15

How do I find the property that I saw while driving in town?

Asked Wed Oct 17 2007, 17:50 by Heather Bush… - Wausau - Home Buying - 9 answers

Chris Lukens answered:

How to find the property you just drove by. My answer would tell you to write down the address and either call your real estate agent, or you can go to http://www.chrislukenshomes.com and you can look up your property information here directly through our local MLS listings. The other option could be to stop by the home and look for the flyer with your home information. This is just a few ways you can find information on a property with your interest. - Thu Oct 18 2007, 14:17

Should I wait to buy a home? Will interest rates be lowered soon?

Asked Thu Oct 11 2007, 13:14 by Donna Thorson - Neenah - Home Buying - 5 answers

Chris Lukens answered:

You bring up a great question. The answer with interest rates is yet to be answered. The Word in the lending business is yes they will take a small dip. Especially when the FEDs meet again here soon. The expectation is that the feds will lower the prime rate by .25%. This is the expectation.

Your other question on should I buy a home now. I would say yes, now is the time to purchase while it is still a buyers market. Sellers are taking some low offers currently. Now is your chance to get a get deal on a home with amazing features for a reduced price. I would move forward with looking at your next purchase. Call me to get help.

As a buyer or seller, what do you consider to be most relevant when looking at market conditions???

Asked Sun Jun 17 2007, 12:06 by Josh Lavik - Madison - Market Conditions - 6 answers

Chris Lukens answered:

Hey Josh Great to see you on the web. My answer to your question is as follow.
I would tend to look at what the global market is doing with oil, what the current inflation rate is doing, what the feds are doing with interest rates, and last I would look at what area you are in and what is happing with the local job market. This is a great combination to use to predict the up coming market, and what will take place on a daily basis. Take care my friend. - Thu Sep 20 2007, 07:55

How is the general housing market in Madison?

Chris Lukens answered:

Madison is still a strong source for great properties with great value. The city and surrounding communities have continued to see a strong growth with the population, new schools and plenty of housing. The city life is what so many enjoy about Madison. The property market is showing a consistent steady growth. The job sector for Madison and surrounding communities is great. With many options, and strong industries that are new and on the up. This is truly a place you can call home and fit right in. - Thu Sep 20 2007, 07:50
