Situated between Lakes Michigan and Superior, as well as the states of Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and Michigan, Wisconsin was named from the Chippewa Indian word to mean "grassy place". Known for its production of cheese and butter, car license plates are imprinted with "America's Dairyland". The badger is the state animal, and sometimes Wisconsin is called "The Badger State" in reference to old-time miners who were once called badgers because of how they lived in the mining camps. The largest cities are Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Kenosha, Racine, Appleton, Waukesha and Oshkosh.

With one of the lowest closing rates in the country, there are many good reasons, for residents who own their homes, to ponder the idea of Wisconsin mortgage refinance. One of the saddest reasons, albeit a fact of today's world, however, is foreclosure. With delinquencies, foreclosures, and the unemployment rate sitting in about the top forty percent nationally, Wisconsin is witnessing its share of repossessed properties. For home owners that have more than one person in the household who works, once one person loses a job, much strain is placed on the other to meet the mortgage payments. In this instance, it is sometimes advantageous to find refinancing in the hopes of lowering payments, rather than waiting to see if the other person finds a new job. At least, something may be accomplished before things spiral out of control if no jobs are forthcoming.

Wisconsin allows both judicial and non-judicial foreclosures. Non-judicial is permitted if the power-of-sale clause is part of the original mortgage contract. Basically, the time frame for losing one's house depends on the type of foreclosure, but can range from two months to one year. Further, Wisconsin does have a mediation process, and lenders are required to submit a letter to home owners with their foreclosure notices, making them aware of the possibility of mediation. Due to the increasing numbers of foreclosure filings in Milwaukee, the city created a new program in 2009 called The Milwaukee Foreclosure Mediation Program. Home owners must act quickly, though, since they only have fifteen days to request mediation, but the program has proven successful, as a large number of home owners have remained in their homes. Although this method of mediation is a type of loan modification, where the lender continues to get paid, and home owners make lower payments, it can act as a bridge until home owners are able to find suitable Wisconsin mortgage refinance.

Individuals living in Madison, the state's capital, find that the city is one of the healthiest places to live. It was the first city in the US to offer curbside newspaper recycling in 1968. For retirees, this is a wonderful place since they can audit University of Wisconsin courses for free, and outdoor activities are abundant. In fact, the Madison Senior Center was granted funds to research how senior volunteers can best help older adults. With the average pricing of homes around $260,000, the city is well within the conforming limits. For many seniors relocating to Madison, factors are certainly in their favor when refinancing. Low closing costs, reasonably priced homes, and a pleasant lifestyle all contribute to the positive aspects of Wisconsin mortgage refinance.

Such a wholesome state with clean air and rich farmlands, many are certainly attracted to call Wisconsin "home".
