National Real Estate Condo Developer 'Bullish' on Madison, Wis. Condominium Market

New York Real Estate Developer Partners With Madison, Wisconsin Real Estate Development Company on 240 Unit Condominium Community at Harbor House


MADISON, WI--(Marketwire - July 23, 2009) - While the national condominium market continues to struggle, sales at Harbor House in Madison remain steady. According to Harbor House owners, 65 percent of the community is sold out, and the developers, Time Equities, Inc., located in New York, and Bruner Realty, Inc., in Madison, continue to experience strong demand.

"We are thrilled to have so many first-time homebuyers at Harbor House," said Jay Bruner, president of Bruner Realty. "Our 25-year-old daughter and her husband purchased their first home right here at Harbor House, and their monthly mortgage and maintenance costs are less than what they would pay in rent for a comparable apartment."

According to Kiplinger's Magazine, Madison was recently ranked as one of the top ten best cities in America in which to live. Additionally, unemployment in Madison consistently remains below the national average. Madison employers include the University of Wisconsin, State of Wisconsin, Epic Systems and American Family Insurance as well as a number of other high tech and clean industry companies. These factors, along with the federal government's $8,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers, support the reasons why Madison continues to thrive in these current economic conditions.
