House Hunt: Five 'Median' Homes in Wauwatosa

Three bedrooms, two baths, about 1,750 square feet, in a style you like in a neighborhood you'll love, all for around $250,000 – that's what's in the middle of the Tosa home market.

  When the city or the School District talks about the local property tax levy, they usually provide an example, known as the 'median-priced home,' and tell you what the taxes on such a home would be. 'Median,' for non-statisticians, is different than 'average.' The median is the point where half the units of any given sample – in this case all home values in a community – are above, and half below. In real estate, median is used instead of average to avoid having the figure be skewed by a small number of very high-priced homes at the top or of very low-priced homes at the bottom. Lately, the example being used in Wauwatosa is, "the levy on a $250,000 home would be...." (If you're interested, it would be just shy of $5,500.) Such a nice …

House Hunt: The 5 Most Expensive Tosa Homes for Sale

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 …
