About homes in New London

The median home in the city of New London was built in 1972, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Wisconsin median of 1975. That is older than the Waupaca County median of 1975.1 Older housing stock means a contractor's first job is finding what is behind the finish - wiring, plumbing and roof decking - before a price is final. Somewhat more of New London's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 59% against 50%, with 5% built since 2010. The largest single share, 24%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it much the same age as Waupaca County as a whole (57% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1980s and 1990s, polybutylene supply lines, builder-grade windows and first-generation openers are the usual items a contractor confirms before quoting.

New London has a mixed housing stock: 54% detached houses, 5% attached or townhouse units and 22% in buildings of five or more units.1 Owners and renters are roughly balanced in New London, with 52% of occupied homes owner-occupied, below the Wisconsin share of 68%.1 The median owner-occupied home in New London is valued at $174,800 (ACS), below the Wisconsin median of $266,500. Within Waupaca County the median is $211,400, so New London sits below it.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.

Winters are long: the Oshkosh Wittman Ap station averages 146 nights a year at or below 32°F and 75 at or below 20°F.2,3 Long winters put freeze-thaw, ice dams and snow load at the center of roofing and masonry decisions. Hot days are uncommon: about 6 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is about 31 inches, with 6 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3

Heating dominates the year: about 7,352 heating degree days against 566 cooling degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a heating-led climate, insulation and air sealing carry most of the energy-code weight for any work that opens the envelope. New London is about 37 miles from the Great Lakes shoreline (fresh water).4,5 Lake-effect weather adds wind-driven rain and snow to the exterior details that matter.

New London sits in IECC climate zone 6A (Cold).6 Building permits in New London are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
