article It's not your imagination: Owning a home in Waukesha County is getting harder. A new study shows prices are up, while available homes are scarce. Even renting is a challenge. "Waukesha County has the highest median home value in the state," said Joe Peterangelo. Business groups commissioned Peterangelo to study Waukesha County's housing challenges. "We found the median sales price had gone up by 41% in Waukesha County and incomes are not keeping up," he said. To put that in perspective, researchers say the median rent in Waukesha County is $1,100 a month.
