The Cedarburg housing market remained highly competitive in February. As a result, strong buyer demand and limited inventory continue to shape conditions.

🏡 Market Activity

9 homes sold in February
11 new listings came to market
15 total homes available

Notably, new listings slightly outpaced sales. Even so, inventory remains low overall. Because of this, buyers are still competing for a limited number of homes.

💰 Home Prices

Average List Price: $1,019,820
Median List Price: $849,900
Average Sales Price: $526,878
Median Sales Price: $499,900
Average Price per Sq Ft: $211

At the same time, there is a gap between list and sale prices. This reflects a mix of higher-end listings alongside stronger activity in more moderate price ranges.

⚡ Market Pace

Average Days on Market: 19 days
Sale-to-List Price Ratio: 102.35%

Overall, homes are selling quickly and often above asking price. This suggests buyers are willing to compete, especially when a home is priced well and shows well.

However, even in a fast market, preparation still matters. Homes that are well presented tend to attract the strongest interest early.

📦 Inventory Conditions

Months of Supply: 1.67
Absorption Rate: 0.60

Currently, inventory remains firmly in seller’s market territory. With less than two months of supply, conditions continue to favor sellers.

Even so, buyers are still selective. As a result, positioning a home correctly from the start remains important.

🌿 Home Flow Insight: Neutralize Colors to Broaden Appeal

Buyers need to picture themselves in a home. Because of this, bold or highly personalized colors can make that more difficult.

Before listing, consider:

Repainting bright or dark walls with neutral tones
Keeping finishes simple and cohesive
Reducing overly personal design choices

Ultimately, neutral spaces tend to feel larger, brighter, and more inviting. As a result, they appeal to a wider range of buyers.
