Holmen, WI
September 2026 Housing Market Update
CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS: SELLER'S MARKET
Holmen's housing market continued to favor sellers during September 2026, with approximately 2.64 months of housing inventory available. Properties that sold during the month had a median of 16 days in RPR, while the median sold-to-list price ratio reached 99.64%.
With 24 reported sales and 58 active listings, the market demonstrated relatively limited housing supply and continued buyer activity. However, market conditions can vary depending on property type, price range, location, and condition.
Median Sold Price — $431,250
The median sold price was $431,250, meaning approximately half of the reported sales were above this price and half were below.
This figure reflects properties sold during September and should not be interpreted as the typical value of every home in Holmen or as a measure of an individual property's value. Property characteristics, location, condition, and comparable sales remain important when evaluating a home's market value.
Median Days in RPR — 16 Days
Properties that sold during September had a median of 16 days in RPR, indicating that many successfully marketed properties moved through the market relatively quickly.
However, selling timelines can vary considerably based on pricing, condition, location, property type, marketing, and buyer demand. The median represents properties that sold and does not guarantee a similar timeline for every listing.
Sold-to-List Price Ratio — 99.64%
The median sold-to-list price ratio was 99.64%, indicating that the typical reported sale closed slightly below its listing price.
This suggests that sellers generally achieved prices relatively close to their asking prices. However, individual properties may sell above, at, or below their listing prices depending on market conditions, pricing strategies, and buyer interest.
Housing Inventory — 2.64 Months
Holmen had approximately 2.64 months of housing inventory, indicating a relatively limited supply of available homes at the prevailing sales pace.
Lower inventory generally means fewer choices for buyers and less competition from other listings for sellers. A market with this level of inventory is generally considered favorable to sellers, although conditions may differ across price ranges and property types.
Understanding Housing Inventory
Housing inventory measures how long it would take to sell the homes currently available at the prevailing sales pace, assuming no new listings were added. Holmen's 2.64 months of inventory indicates relatively limited housing supply, generally favoring sellers while providing buyers with some available options.
Active Listings — 58 Homes
There were 58 active listings reported during September, with a median listing price of $499,900.
The number of available properties helps illustrate how much competition sellers face and how many options buyers have. Inventory levels can change as new properties enter the market and existing listings sell or are withdrawn.
Homes Sold — 24
Twenty-four properties sold during September, with a median sold price of $431,250.
These transactions provide insight into recent buyer activity and completed sales. However, monthly figures can fluctuate depending on the number, size, type, and price range of properties sold. Reviewing several months of data can provide a broader perspective on market direction.
What This Means for Sellers
Holmen's relatively limited housing inventory may create favorable conditions for homeowners considering selling. With 2.64 months of inventory and a median of 16 days in RPR for sold properties, appropriately priced and well-presented homes may attract buyer interest relatively quickly.
September's 99.64% sold-to-list price ratio also indicates that sellers generally achieved prices close to their asking prices.
However, a seller's market does not guarantee a quick sale or a full-price offer. Pricing, condition, presentation, marketing, location, and buyer demand remain important factors in a successful transaction.
Understanding how your property compares with similar homes is an important first step in developing a competitive selling strategy.
What This Means for Buyers
Buyers searching in Holmen are navigating a market with relatively limited housing inventory. With 58 active listings reported during September and a median of 16 days in RPR for sold properties, desirable homes may attract interest relatively quickly.
Having financing arrangements in place, understanding your budget, and identifying your priorities can help you prepare when a suitable property becomes available.
At the same time, September's 99.64% sold-to-list price ratio indicates that the typical reported sale closed slightly below its listing price. Buyers should not assume that every property requires an above-asking offer simply because the overall market favors sellers.
Reviewing comparable sales, evaluating property condition, and carefully considering pricing and offer terms remain important parts of making an informed purchasing decision.

West Salem, WI
September 2026 Housing Market Update
CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS: SELLER'S MARKET
West Salem's housing market continued to favor sellers during September 2026, with approximately 3 months of housing inventory available. Properties that sold during the month had a median of 18 days in RPR, while the median sold-to-list price ratio was 97.91%.
With 5 reported sales and 12 active listings, the market demonstrated relatively limited housing supply. However, the small number of completed transactions means monthly statistics should be interpreted with caution, as individual sales can significantly influence the results.
Median Sold Price — $315,000
The median sold price was $315,000, meaning approximately half of the reported sales were above this price and half were below.
With only five reported sales during September, the types, sizes, and price ranges of properties that happened to sell can have a substantial effect on the monthly median. This figure should not be interpreted as the typical value of every home in West Salem or as a measure of an individual property's value.
Property characteristics, location, condition, and comparable sales remain important when evaluating a home's market value.
Median Days in RPR — 18 Days
Properties that sold during September had a median of 18 days in RPR, indicating that the middle reported selling timeline was relatively short.
However, with only five completed sales, this figure may not represent the experience of all properties listed in West Salem. Selling timelines can vary considerably based on pricing, condition, location, property type, marketing, and buyer demand.
Sold-to-List Price Ratio — 97.91%
The median sold-to-list price ratio was 97.91%, indicating that the typical reported sale closed below its listing price.
This suggests that sellers generally accepted prices somewhat below their asking prices during September. However, individual properties may sell above, at, or below their listing prices, and the small number of sales limits how broadly this result can be applied.
Housing Inventory — 3 Months
West Salem had approximately 3 months of housing inventory, indicating a relatively limited supply of available homes at the prevailing sales pace.
Lower inventory generally means fewer choices for buyers and less competition from other listings for sellers. While this level of inventory is generally considered favorable to sellers, it does not necessarily mean every property will sell quickly or receive multiple offers.
Understanding Housing Inventory
Housing inventory measures how long it would take to sell the homes currently available at the prevailing sales pace, assuming no new listings were added. West Salem's 3.00 months of inventory indicates relatively limited housing supply, although buyers may have more options relative to the sales pace than in some neighboring communities.
Active Listings — 12 Homes
There were 12 active listings reported during September, with a median listing price of $522,000.
The number of available properties helps illustrate how much competition sellers face and how many options buyers have. With relatively few listings, changes in inventory can have a noticeable effect on monthly market statistics.
The median asking price of active listings also differs substantially from the median sold price, reflecting differences between the properties currently being offered and those that completed sales during the month.
Homes Sold — 5
Five properties sold during September, with a median sold price of $315,000.
These transactions provide insight into recent buyer activity and completed sales. However, because only five properties sold, monthly figures can fluctuate considerably depending on the characteristics and price ranges of those transactions.
Reviewing several months of data can provide a broader perspective on market direction.
What This Means for Sellers
West Salem's relatively limited housing inventory may create favorable conditions for homeowners considering selling. With 3 months of inventory and only 12 active listings, sellers may face relatively limited competition from other available properties.
Properties that sold during September had a median of 18 days in RPR, suggesting that appropriately priced and well-presented homes can attract buyer interest within a relatively short period.
However, September's 97.91% sold-to-list price ratio indicates that the typical reported sale closed below its asking price. This reinforces the importance of realistic pricing rather than assuming that limited inventory will automatically produce a full-price offer.
Pricing, condition, presentation, marketing, location, and buyer demand remain important factors in a successful transaction.
Understanding how your property compares with similar homes is an important first step in developing a competitive selling strategy.
What This Means for Buyers
Buyers searching in West Salem are navigating a market with relatively limited housing inventory. With only 12 active listings reported during September, buyers may encounter fewer available options that match their preferred price range, location, and property features.
Having financing arrangements in place, understanding your budget, and identifying your priorities can help you prepare when a suitable property becomes available.
At the same time, September's 97.91% sold-to-list price ratio indicates that the typical reported sale closed below its listing price. This suggests that buyers should not automatically assume every property requires a full-price or above-asking offer.
However, with only five completed sales, the monthly statistics provide a limited picture of negotiating conditions. Individual properties may attract different levels of interest depending on their pricing, condition, and location.
Reviewing comparable sales, evaluating property condition, and carefully considering pricing and offer terms remain important parts of making an informed purchasing decision.

Sparta, WI
September 2026 Housing Market Update
CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS: SELLER'S MARKET
Sparta's housing market continued to favor sellers during September 2026, with approximately 3.75 months of housing inventory available. Properties that sold during the month had a median of 23 days in RPR, while the median sold-to-list price ratio was 96.1%.
With 17 reported sales and 45 active listings, the market continued to demonstrate seller-favorable conditions, although available inventory increased compared with the previous month. Market conditions can vary depending on property type, price range, location, and condition.
Median Sold Price — $270,000
The median sold price was $270,000, meaning approximately half of the reported sales were above this price and half were below.
This figure reflects properties sold during September and should not be interpreted as the typical value of every home in Sparta or as a measure of an individual property's value. Property characteristics, location, condition, and comparable sales remain important when evaluating a home's market value.
With 17 reported sales, monthly figures can also be influenced by the types and price ranges of properties that happened to sell.
Median Days in RPR — 23 Days
Properties that sold during September had a median of 23 days in RPR, indicating that the middle reported selling timeline was approximately three weeks.
However, selling timelines can vary considerably based on pricing, condition, location, property type, marketing, and buyer demand. The median represents properties that sold and does not guarantee a similar timeline for every listing.
Sold-to-List Price Ratio — 96.1%
The median sold-to-list price ratio was 96.1%, indicating that the typical reported sale closed below its listing price.
This suggests that sellers generally accepted prices below their asking prices during September. However, individual properties may sell above, at, or below their listing prices depending on market conditions, pricing strategies, and buyer interest.
Housing Inventory — 3.75 Months
Sparta had approximately 3.75 months of housing inventory, indicating a relatively limited supply of available homes at the prevailing sales pace.
Inventory increased by approximately 32.5% compared with the previous month, suggesting that buyers had more available housing supply relative to the recent sales pace.
Although RPR continued to classify Sparta as a seller's market, the increase in inventory may provide buyers with additional choices and reduce some competitive pressure compared with periods of tighter supply.
Understanding Housing Inventory
Housing inventory measures how long it would take to sell the homes currently available at the prevailing sales pace, assuming no new listings were added. Sparta's 3.75 months of inventory was the highest among the five communities analyzed, indicating the greatest housing supply relative to its sales pace. Although still classified as a seller's market, buyers may have comparatively more choices and negotiating opportunities.
Active Listings — 45 Homes
There were 45 active listings reported during September, with a median listing price of $324,900.
The number of available properties helps illustrate how much competition sellers face and how many options buyers have. Inventory levels can change as new properties enter the market and existing listings sell or are withdrawn.
The median asking price of active listings was higher than the median sold price, reflecting differences between the properties currently being offered and those that completed sales during the month.
Homes Sold — 17
Seventeen properties sold during September, with a median sold price of $270,000.
These transactions provide insight into recent buyer activity and completed sales. However, monthly figures can fluctuate depending on the number, size, type, and price range of properties sold.
Reviewing several months of data can provide a broader perspective on market direction.
What This Means for Sellers
Sparta's housing market continued to favor sellers during September, although increasing inventory suggests that market conditions may be becoming less restrictive for buyers.
With 3.75 months of inventory and a median of 23 days in RPR for sold properties, appropriately priced and well-presented homes may continue to attract buyer interest within a reasonable period.
However, September's 96.1% sold-to-list price ratio indicates that the typical reported sale closed below its asking price. Combined with the 32.5% monthly increase in inventory, this reinforces the importance of competitive pricing and realistic expectations.
Pricing, condition, presentation, marketing, location, and buyer demand remain important factors in a successful transaction.
Understanding how your property compares with similar homes is an important first step in developing a competitive selling strategy.
What This Means for Buyers
Buyers searching in Sparta may be encountering somewhat more favorable conditions than in markets with extremely limited inventory.
With 45 active listings and 3.75 months of housing inventory, buyers may have additional opportunities to compare properties and evaluate their options.
September's 96.1% sold-to-list price ratio also indicates that the typical reported sale closed below its listing price, suggesting that buyers may have some negotiating opportunities depending on the property.
However, Sparta remains classified as a seller's market, and desirable, competitively priced homes may still attract strong interest.
Having financing arrangements in place, understanding your budget, reviewing comparable sales, and carefully evaluating property condition and offer terms remain important parts of making an informed purchasing decision.
