The Ozaukee County housing market continues to show steady demand and tight inventory. As a result, homes are still moving efficiently, and sellers continue to maintain strong positioning.

🏡 Market Activity

64 homes sold in February
101 new listings came to market
168 total homes available

Notably, new listings outpaced sales this month. Because of this, inventory may be starting to build slightly heading into spring. In turn, this could give buyers a bit more opportunity compared to earlier in the year.

💰 Home Prices

Average List Price: $728,467
Median List Price: $664,900
Average Sales Price: $504,864
Median Sales Price: $443,950
Average Price per Sq Ft: $230

At the same time, there remains a noticeable gap between list and sale prices. This often reflects a mix of higher-priced homes sitting longer, while mid-range properties continue to see stronger activity.

⚡ Market Pace

Average Days on Market: 50 days
Sale-to-List Price Ratio: 100.42%

Overall, homes are still selling at or slightly above asking price. This indicates that buyers are willing to compete when a home is priced well.

However, the 50-day average also suggests that not every home is moving instantly. Instead, pricing and presentation continue to play a key role in how quickly a property sells.

📦 Inventory Conditions

Months of Supply: 2.62
Absorption Rate: 0.38

Currently, inventory remains firmly in seller’s market territory (under 4–5 months supply).

Even so, compared to earlier conditions, this level suggests a slight easing rather than a major shift. As a result, buyers may begin to see more options and slightly less urgency. Meanwhile, sellers still hold the overall advantage.

🌿 Home Flow Insight: Declutter to Create Space

Buyers don’t just look at your home—they try to feel what it would be like to live in it. Because of this, one of the fastest ways to improve that feeling is simple:
👉 remove excess items from key living areas

For example:

Kitchen countertops (keep only essentials)
Living room surfaces (limit decor to a few intentional pieces)
Bathroom vanities (clear personal items)

Ultimately, the goal isn’t to make your home feel empty. Instead, it’s to make it feel open, clean, and easy to move through. When buyers can clearly see the space, they can better imagine their own life in it.
