Voters in Wisconsin have revealed how crippling house prices have become a key issue for those living in the battleground state.

Prices in Wisconsin are now $333,200, with more than half selling for above listing price in June, according to Redfin.

The cost of a home has soared by eight percent in the last year, making it the largest increase in any of the swing states.

The house is NOT ‘worth’ more - the dollar is just coming to the point of be worthless....

Do they think Wisconsin is the only state suffering from high housing costs?

Is this what they mean by "unaffordable"? People fighting on the lawn to hand over cash at +20% asking price?

Seems like a lot of people can afford these prices.

“Let us know when you have suffered enough and decide to vote for Trump.”

I’m not sure they can have enough suffering to ignore their media indoctrination. It’s one of the more incredible things I’ve ever witnessed.

Let’s watch and see how the democrats and their media jackals spin this to pin the blame on Trump for higher housing costs.

Same here in Michigan. Our home value has doubled in ten years.

Young women are mostly renters. Rents don’t change until lease expires, which could be after election. They are not affected by house prices ascending every week.

In the meanwhile young women have abortions as #1 issue.

I think not. They are staying in hotels at tax payer expense.

Yep. We need them to do more than just complain. Vote for Trump. Get on the Trump Train. And tell your friends. But more than that. We also need them to be hyperaware of voter fraud.

It happened on a large scale in 2020. It will happen again in 2024.

Apartments and rental houses are full of illegals here in my town. They buy old/used vehicles, get a place to live, a cell phone, and then work for cash.

Lately I have had people tell me that they are paying cash to avoid taxes. Corruption is rampant.

Especially black/brown women. ...who often are on assistance so get rent help...happy little renters. But take away their desires to murder unwanted babies and they'll flatly demand that so called “right”.

If people don’t have money to buy homes, how are they selling above listing?

One guess is our government gives money it doesn’t have to immigrants who don’t pay taxes to buy homes taxpayers can’t afford.

Bingo. Housing prices, rentals too, are way above what people can afford.

Where I live, a house down the street is listed for $115,000. Yet, I know for a surety that house is not physically worth more than $20,000 tops. I know how it was made and unless major renovations were made, it's nothing more than a cardboard box.
