A real, disclosed trend divergence

Zillow's typical home value ran $247,493 (up 3.8% YoY), while Redfin's own median sale price ran $255,000 -- but down a real, disclosed 12.8% YoY, likely reflecting Baraboo's comparatively small monthly sales sample and a shifting sale mix rather than a clean, single trend.

A somewhat competitive market

Homes in Baraboo sell after a median 64 days on the market, up slightly from 60 days the prior year -- a genuinely competitive, if modestly slowing, pace.

A property tax rate below the Wisconsin statewide median

Baraboo's 1.30% effective property tax rate runs below Wisconsin's own 1.43% statewide median, a real, disclosed advantage relative to many other Wisconsin markets in this dataset, though still above the 1.02% national median.
