For only the second time in 50 years Wisconsin property values have fallen.
The state Department of Revenue reports they dipped by 0.5 percent last year.
The last time Wisconsin had an overall decline was 1986, at a time when the agricultural economy was slumping.
Western Wisconsin counties like Pierce and St. Croix dropped the most. Milwaukee was the city seeing the biggest decline.
It could get worse. The state figures don't include data from this year when the national and state economies were even worse than 2008.
