HAPPY 2026!
According to the Greater Milwaukee Association of Realtors (GMAR) dated January 14, 2026… “Home sales in the Metropolitan Milwaukee market ended 2025 slightly ahead of the prior year, finishing just 1% higher than in 2024. In total, there were 173 more sales in 2025 than in 2024, reflecting a largely stable but constrained market.
Similarly, sales activity in December was modest across the four-county area, increasing 2.1% compared to December 2024. While positive, this gain underscores how limited overall growth remains.
2025 was part of a significant market reset that began in mid-2022, when mortgage interest rates rose sharply from historic lows to levels above 6%. This shift fundamentally changed buyer behavior and overall market dynamics.
As a result, sales in 2023 fell 18.6% from 2022, dropping to 16,586 units. Since then, the metropolitan market has remained at this lower level of activity, without a meaningful rebound in volume.
This stands in stark contrast to recent history. As recently as 2021, the market set a record with 23,827 sales. Compared to that peak, sales in 2025 were still 27.7% below record levels.”
