We dive into the La Crosse area housing market with Gerrard Hoeschler Realtors owner Doug Billings, realtor Ben Bockenhauer and Granite Mortgage lender Jeff Thompson in the WIZM studio Tuesday for La Crosse Talk PM.

Some of that talk included whether a housing crash is coming, is it still a sellers’ market, where people are best able to buy houses in the Coulee Region right now and what the housing stock is like.

Bockenhauer and Thompson will also be hosting a first-time homebuyers seminar at 5:30 p.m. on July 10 at the Gerrard Hoeschler offices in Onalaska. Part of that conversation will include how potential homeowners can take advantage of down payment assistance programs in the area. 

Another thing we hit on included how mortgage rates are high right now, where and when they might fall and why some homeowners now aren’t selling due to those factors — plus the thought process behind that notion.
