The Accunet Mortgage and Realty Show: Navigating Winter Markets & New Mortgage Strategies
Join Brian Wickert and David Wickert as they dissect January’s real estate numbers in the five-county Milwaukee area, revealing why comparing market data requires asking “compared to what?” Despite fewer closings than last January, median prices jumped significantly—proof that waiting for discounts doesn’t always pay off.
This week’s episode tackles the evolving world of mortgage solutions, from helping a post-bankruptcy client secure FHA financing through a rarely-used single-unit condo approval process, to analyzing whether adjustable-rate mortgages are worth the modest payment savings. David shares his “picking up pennies in front of a bulldozer” philosophy when the spread between fixed and adjustable rates narrows to just dollars per month.
The Wickerts also address the psychology of refinancing resistance—why some homeowners hesitate even when facing guaranteed savings of thousands in interest.
With national housing headlines rarely applying to southeastern Wisconsin’s hot seller’s market, this episode reinforces why local expertise matters more than ever. Plus: former Fed Chair Alan Greenspan turns 99 soon, and one mortgage lender finally adds that water line coverage to his homeowner’s policy.
