Year-to-date, median prices are up 5.2% and sales are up 2%. South central Wisconsin, including Madison and Dane County, has the highest median home price at $389,900. Meanwhile, southeast Wisconsin led the state in home sales, accounting for 34% of sales in September 2025. The Madison and Milwaukee areas have been driving both price increases and sales. Home sales in Wisconsin increased by 6.9% in September 2025 compared to the same month last year.
