The Baraboo housing market is quite competitive right now, with rising prices and homes selling steadily. Many homes are still attracting interest, but a good number are also seeing price drops.
The median listing price is "$379,825", which is up 12.6% from a year ago. This shows that homes are generally becoming more expensive. The average listing price also increased by 17.1% over the past year, reaching "$504,976", reflecting this trend.
Houses are staying on the market for an average of 74 days. This is a fairly quick pace, suggesting buyers are making decisions without long delays. Still, 15.7% of homes have had their prices reduced, which is a bit lower than last year.
There are 211 homes currently for sale, which is 5.0% more than a year ago. This means buyers have a little more choice than before. However, new homes coming onto the market jumped by 22.9% recently, so more options are becoming available.
For those looking to buy or sell, be prepared for a market where prices are trending up, and homes are generally selling at a decent pace, but some homes do sit longer and require price adjustments.
