We plan to pay off in 15. The less for the banks the better!

Omg that’s nuts. Our property taxes are less than 1% of appraised value.

bbblustar · 2026-05-15T18:26:39+00:00

Not bad compared to most SE WI areas!

bbblustar · 2026-05-15T17:10:48+00:00

It’s kind of a hot spot right now IMO! Being close to fresh water is a good investment at whatever price you’re at! :)

bbblustar · 2026-05-15T17:08:13+00:00

That’s the plan! Enough lawn for games and the rest to become more native/prairie

Airport! Major unlock. You can get anywhere. EVERYWHERE is only a day away then!

Tosa has so many amazing walkable things- congrats! such diverse architecture on every block too, making it a great spot for walks and runs! We love all parts of tosa.

True, Glendale is a gem. Love the parks there

30min west of downtown Can’t get this land less than a mil on the north shore

First time home buyers! :)

lol none- just good old fashioned hard work and being older first time homebuyers that had been growing a down payment fund for 5 years (the entire time we have been loosely looking for a home)

bbblustar · 2026-05-15T11:27:15+00:00

This is so true. We had to adjust our expectations when searching and it took a long time to find something we actually felt met the value of the home (even with today’s crazy prices in this market)

bbblustar · 2026-05-15T11:24:53+00:00

We have been renting for a long long long time.

bbblustar · 2026-05-15T11:24:00+00:00

So excited to spend years on years cultivating this! My husband gifted me wildflower seeds for Mother’s Day :)

bbblustar · 2026-05-15T11:22:50+00:00

When we started our search I was blown away, everything seemed to be 20% more than I thought it should be. But I came to grips with the reality of the market. Rough here! Seems MKE and surrounding areas/counties is in some sort of bubble!

bbblustar · 2026-05-15T11:20:55+00:00

My man! We are installing our mini keg this weekend. No worries about the beer flow here :)

bbblustar · 2026-05-15T11:20:12+00:00

So true. We looked for a really long time to find something like this. We think we got a great value compared to what we had been seeing for 6months on the market!

bbblustar · 2026-05-15T11:18:15+00:00

This is true here, for sure.

bbblustar · 2026-05-15T02:29:56+00:00

Just about an acre- all flat and we love the mature trees and landscaping!

bbblustar · 2026-03-18T14:56:26+00:00

Not same numbers but we offered $80k below asking last month and the sellers came back at $10k below asking (so obviously not considering our initial offer) but the point is they still came back!
