Yes, it is a good time to sell your home. February confirmed that seller demand remains strong. Home sales across Southeastern Wisconsin rose 1.7% year‑over‑year, even during a seasonally slow month, an indicator of resilient buyer demand heading into spring. Home sales also rose 16% over January 2026. We're heading in the right direction!
Yes, home prices are still increasing, but at a healthier, more sustainable pace. The Metro Milwaukee average sale price reached $408,000, up 1.9% Year over Year. The market is normalizing, or balancing, but it still remains a seller's market.
Yes, buyers are still active. They have adjusted to rates, and February sales prove it. Mortgage rates fell to roughly 6.1%, in February, improving affordability and bringing motivated buyers back into the market.
In February, homes in Southeastern Wisconsin averaged 38 days on the market. Well‑priced homes still sell quickly, especially those in good condition.
The best first step is an in-home evaluation. I would come to your home, walk through it with you, and assess it the same way a buyer would, while also factoring in current market conditions, and what buyers are responding to right now.
Not every improvement is worth doing. After evaluating your home, I’ll recommend only the updates that would truly position it better for the market. My goal is maximum return, not unnecessary spending.
