June 2025 Wisconsin Real Estate Update

Video Transcript - June 2025 Wisconsin Real Estate Market Update

John from Integrity Homes: Hey everyone, it's John from Integrity Homes with your June 2025 Wisconsin real estate market update. If you're thinking about selling your home in the Waunakee, DeForest, Windsor, Sun Prairie, or Madison area, this update is specifically for you.

Current Market Conditions: Right now, we're seeing some really interesting dynamics in the Wisconsin market. Waunakee continues to be one of the hottest markets in Dane County with a median home price sitting around $810,000. That's a premium over the county average, but it reflects the exceptional school district and limited inventory we're seeing.

Inventory Analysis: Speaking of inventory, we're at about 2.3 months of supply in Waunakee, which is still firmly in seller's market territory. DeForest and Windsor combined are showing around 100 to 110 active listings, giving buyers more options but sellers still have the advantage.

Days on Market: What's really encouraging for sellers is the speed of sales. In Sun Prairie, homes are averaging about 45 days on market, while Middleton is even faster at around 35 days. Both are beating the overall Dane County average, which shows strong buyer demand in these communities.

Pricing Strategy: For sellers, the key right now is smart pricing. Don't get greedy with your listing price, but don't undervalue your home either. The market will reward homes that are priced correctly from day one. We're seeing well-priced homes get multiple offers, while overpriced homes sit on the market.

Buyer Demand: Buyer demand remains strong, especially for homes under $400,000 in Sun Prairie and DeForest areas. These represent great value for first-time homebuyers who want to be close to Madison's job centers without paying Madison prices.

Interest Rates Impact: Interest rates are still a factor, but buyers who are serious about purchasing are finding ways to make it work. We're seeing more buyer education about different loan programs, including our HERO Rewards program for teachers, healthcare workers, military, firefighters, and law enforcement.

Looking Ahead: As we move through the summer selling season, I expect continued strong activity in Waunakee and the surrounding communities. Inventory may increase slightly, but demand should keep pace, especially for well-maintained homes in good school districts.

Call to Action: If you're thinking about selling this year, now is the time to start preparing. Get your home market-ready, understand your local pricing, and work with an agent who knows these markets inside and out.
