Wisconsin REALTORS Association Report Rising Sales, Prices in April
The Wisconsin Realtors Association said 5,573 homes sold statewide as tight inventory kept supply at 3.7 months and pushed prices higher.
- Existing home sales in Wisconsin rose 7.4% in April compared to April 2025, according to the Wisconsin Realtors Association, while median prices climbed to $340,000, up 6.3% over the past year.
- Strong buyer demand has quickly absorbed available homes, leaving inventory stressed. Wisconsin Realtors Association President Tom Larson said the market would need inventory to increase by nearly 62% to reach a balanced market.
- Most homes were sold in and around Milwaukee and Madison, with 38% of sales in southeast Wisconsin and 20% in south central Wisconsin. Median prices reached $345,000 and $400,000 in those regions.
- Mortgage rates provided relief, falling to 6.33% from 6.73% one year earlier. However, affordability slipped 1.6% year over year as strong price appreciation outpaced improvements in rates and family income.
- Dave Clark, professor emeritus of economics and Wisconsin Realtors Association consultant, noted annual headline inflation jumped to 3.8% due to conflict in the Middle East. With GDP up 2 percent, he expects the Fed will hold interest rates steady.
