The September 2026 housing figures are officially in for Ozaukee County, Wisconsin! As we shift gears into the autumn market, the local real estate landscape is showing a steady climb in available inventory alongside resilient home prices. Whether you are actively planning a move or just keeping a close eye on your equity, staying informed on these shifts gives you a distinct advantage.
Here is a breakdown of the key metrics provided by Metro MLS RapidStats and what they reveal about our local market today.
📈 Activity & Inventory: More Choices on the Market
Ozaukee County experienced an across-the-board uptick in active properties and fresh listings this past month, giving buyers a bit more breathing room than in previous months.
- Total Active Inventory (266): Active homes on the market jumped +8.57% month-over-month. This is great news for buyers who have been waiting for more options to pick from.
- Total Sales (116): Closed sales remained healthy, increasing by +7.41%
compared to August.
- New Listings (157): Fresh properties hitting the market ticked up slightly by +3.97% M-O-M.
- Pending Contracts (45): Homes heading into escrow saw a substantial slowdown of -22.41%, indicating that the intense summer buying rush is beginning to cool down as seasonal patterns take hold.
💰 Pricing Trends: Resilient Values With Seller Adjustments
The pricing data reveals a premium market that remains strong, though sellers are beginning to calibrate their strategies to meet the changing autumn demands.
- Median Sales Price ($507,500): The median price for a closed home in Ozaukee County grew by +3.26% month-over-month, highlighting the sustained premium value of properties in the area.
- Average Sales Price ($586,754): The average sales price dipped by -7.26%, suggesting a normalization of high-end luxury closings compared to the previous month.
Sellers are also introducing homes at slightly lower entry points to attract attention:
- Median New List Price ($534,900): The median price for fresh listings dropped -6.14% M-O-M.
- Average New List Price ($630,370): The average price for newly listed properties adjusted downward by a minor -1.71%.
⏱️ Days on Market & Inventory Supply
- Average Days on Market (23 Days): Homes are still moving exceptionally fast, ticking up by just 2 days month-over-month. High-quality, well-priced homes are still accepting offers in just over three weeks on average.
- Months of Supply (2.29 Months): The county currently sits at a 2.29-month supply of inventory (holding relatively steady from August’s 2.27 MOS). Because a fully balanced market requires a 4-to-6-month supply, Ozaukee County remains firmly positioned in a seller’s market.
💡 What This Means for You
- For Buyers: An 8.57% bump in total active inventory means you have more listings to browse through than you did last month. Sellers are also coming to the table with slightly more realistic list prices (down 6.14% at the median), making this a great window to look for opportunities with slightly less competition.
- For Sellers: Competition is growing slightly as more inventory enters the market, and pending contracts have eased up. However, with supply still tight at 2.29 months and median home values comfortably over the $500k mark, you still hold substantial leverage. Precision pricing and strong visual marketing remain essential to making your home stand out.
