The Baraboo housing market is seeing more homes come up for sale and prices are still growing, but homes are staying on the market a little longer than before and fewer sellers are having to cut their prices.
The median listing price in Baraboo is currently $404,900. This price hasn't changed from the prior month, but it's 22.7% higher than it was this time last year. This shows that home values have risen quite a bit over the past year.
There are 230 homes for sale right now, which is 10.6% more than last year. New listings are up even more, with 112 new homes hitting the market, a 24.4% increase year-over-year. This means buyers have more options to choose from.
However, homes are taking a bit longer to sell. The median time a home spends on the market is 59 days, a 2.6% increase compared to last year. Also, 16.3% of homes have had their prices reduced, which is slightly less than last year and could indicate some price adjustments are happening.
For you as a buyer, it means you have more homes to look at, but prices are still up significantly from last year. You might also have a bit more time to make a decision on a home.
