The Wisconsin REALTORS Association (WRA) has released its December 2025 Real Estate Report, revealing a strong finish to the year for the housing market. Compared to December 2024, existing home sales rose 4.4% and the median price rose 2.5% to $312,750.
Amy Curler, board chair of the WRA, said, “It’s good to see a second straight year of improved sales in the Wisconsin housing market, and the moderation of price appreciation to a more sustainable level below 5% is also a welcome sign.”
Throughout 2025, the housing market experienced moderate growth overall. Existing home sales were up 2% from 2024, with the median price increasing by 4.8% to $325,000.
Despite a slight increase in total listings, new listings decreased by 5.9%, and available inventory fell by 3.3% compared to December 2024. The 30-year fixed mortgage rate dropped by half a percent over the last year to 6.19%.
