Eau Claire, WI - Home prices remain high, with Wisconsin’s median home sale in July, 2022 hitting $279,000 (an 11% increase from July, 2021). These high prices can in part be attributed to a lack of inventory available throughout the state. Here are the current statewide stats for Wisconsin:

“Looking at the high home prices and decreasing amount of homes on the market, it’s clear that the affordability issue is going to continue,” according to Scott Rohde, President of REALTORS® Association of Northwestern Wisconsin. “The shortage of homes available in our area, combined with a lack of family income growth, has led to an unmet demand for housing.”
