House Hunt: Finding the Right Home

Searching for the right new home to invest in can be a great challenge nowadays due to busy schedules and just not having enough time to look around or browse the Web.

The House Hunt column is dedicated to providing a timely resource to locate some of the several homes that are for sale in Menomonee Falls and Sussex. Our main focus will be providing home listings that have an upcoming "Open House" coordinated by area real estate agents.

Remember to check back each Thursday to get a jump start on your possible new home.
