Drop in Property Values for 5 Years in a Row: It Hasn't Happened in Wisconsin Since Kitty Kallen Sang This #1 Hit



Value of Wisconsin property drops for fifth consecutive year. (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 8/28/2013)

First the bad news. The report to be released Thursday by the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance shows that the total value of the state's properties dropped to $467.5 billion from $471.1 billion last year, marking the first five-year period since World War II that property values have declined each year.

Now the good news.  The study draws on state figures from Jan. 1, so it doesn't reflect the recent uptick in housing sales and prices.


Fifth (and final?) year for property value decline. (Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance, 8/22/2013)
