What a year it was! More homes were sold in Wisconsin this past year than any year since 2005.
- Home sales were up 11.4% over 2014 with 76,693 properties sold.
- Median home prices are up 5.1% compared with last year. Median sale price for a home in Wisconsin is now $155,500.
“We would have sold even more homes had we not been constrained by very tight inventory levels,” said Michael Theo, President and CEO of the WRA. “The combination of strong housing demand and tight inventories have both pushed median prices up in 2015,” said Theo.
