@Rose Lover ... Having trouble figuring out why Obama doesn't like these homeowners? Purchase price $847,000 is out of reach of the middle class and falls squarely in the lap of all those nasty folks that have gone to school, worked hard, established successful careers, and/or started businesses .... And haven't paid their "fair share" when examined through the ideology of the Divider-In-Chief.   more ›

The top-priced open listed home is a hidden treasure with a pool and its own wilderness, at just under $750,000.

  Last week in House Hunt-Wauwatosa, Patch searched out all the multiple listings that could put you in a home here for less than $100,000. There were, at the time, nine single-family homes and condos listed in the AOL Real Estate guide at the lowest end of the price scale. We promised to next look at the highest-priced multiple-listing homes available in Wauwatosa (exclusive of any private listings, of course). The plan was to set a similar benchmark, such as "Wauwatosa homes for sale for over $500,000." But there was only one, at 2350 Met to We Lane, although it's up there, at $749,000, with its backyard swimming pool and behind that, the wilds of the Menomonee River. We reset at "over $400,000," and got only one more, at 8217 Brookside …
