The Cedarburg, WI real estate market remained inventory-constrained in January, with 15 active residential listings and 11 closed sales across single-family homes, condominiums, and townhomes. With just 1.36 months of supply, the market continues to reflect strong seller-leaning conditions.

Here’s a closer look at what the numbers show.

Current Inventory & Sales Activity

• Active Listings: 15

• New Listings: 10

• Closed Sales: 11 (↑10%)

• Months of Supply: 1.36 (↓20%)

• Absorption Rate: 0.73

Inventory remains tight. A 1.36-month supply indicates that if no new homes were listed, current inventory would be absorbed quickly. This level of supply continues to support pricing stability and competitive positioning for well-prepared sellers.

Pricing Trends

• Median Sale Price: $637,000

• Average Sale Price: $614,000 (↓13%)

• Median List Price: $800,000 (↑54%)

• Average Price per Sq Ft: $275

• Sale-to-List Price Ratio: 99.3% (↓2%)

While the median list price increased significantly month-over-month, this is likely influenced by higher-end inventory entering the market rather than broad-based price inflation. The median sale price remains solid, and homes are selling at nearly full asking price, suggesting alignment between buyer expectations and seller pricing.

The slight dip in average sale price reflects shifting sales mix rather than weakening demand.

Market Velocity

• Average Days on Market: 23

Homes that are properly priced continue to move efficiently. An average of 23 days on market indicates steady buyer activity and decisive purchasing behavior, particularly given the limited inventory environment.

What This Means for Sellers

Low supply and strong sale-to-list ratios indicate that sellers who price strategically and prepare their homes well can still achieve competitive results. While the intensity of past peak years may have moderated, Cedarburg remains a supply-constrained market.

Presentation and pricing discipline remain critical.

What This Means for Buyers

With just over one month of supply, buyers continue to face limited options. However, days on market suggest that while decisions need to be timely, the environment is not chaotic.

Preparation, financing clarity, and realistic expectations remain key.

Outlook

Cedarburg continues to reflect modest seller advantage driven by constrained inventory and steady buyer demand. Unless inventory expands meaningfully, pricing support is likely to remain stable in the near term.

Home Flow Insight

The Entry Sets the Tone.
Buyers form their first emotional impression within seconds of walking through the front door. A clear, well-lit, and uncluttered entryway creates openness and calm.

In practical terms: remove excess furniture, ensure lighting is warm and functional, and keep sightlines open from the doorway into the home. Small adjustments at the entry often influence how the entire property feels.
