The housing market in Baraboo is still quite active, with prices continuing to rise overall. However, there are some signs that the market is becoming a bit less intense than it was a year ago.
Right now, the typical home lists for $379,000. This is actually a slight dip from the previous month, down 3.3%, but it's still significantly higher than last year, up 16.6%.
There are currently 228 homes for sale, which is a bit more than there were at this time last year, up 8.6%. However, fewer new homes are coming onto the market compared to a year ago, with new listings down 4.8%.
Homes are selling at about the same speed as last year, staying on the market for a median of 70 days. Nearly half of the available homes (0.49 pending ratio) are currently under contract to be sold.
If you're looking to buy, prices are still up over the last year, but that recent monthly dip might offer a glimmer of opportunity. If you're selling, homes are still moving, but watch those new listing numbers.
