Three-month pulse

Closings eased after the summer peak.

What this means for your move

For buyers

More homes and slightly softer pricing outcomes can create room to compare.

Inventory rose 9.0%, supply reached 2.4 months, and sellers received 98.8% of original list price on average. Leverage still depends on the specific community, property type, condition, price, and competing interest.

For sellers

Demand remained active, but accurate positioning matters.

The median rose 5.3%, closings increased 1.3%, and the pace held at 21 days. Current comparable sales and active alternatives are more useful than applying the regional percentage to an individual home.

Sources & methodology

See exactly where the numbers came from.

The Wisconsin REALTORS® Association had not released its September statewide report by the October 15 publication check; the dashboard therefore uses the complete Metro MLS September release and does not present older statewide figures as current.
