Redfin's 3-month median sale price ran $294,840 in June 2026, down 12.9% YoY, even as the median price per square foot ($189) rose 9.2% YoY -- a real, disclosed tension likely reflecting which homes sold rather than a uniform price move. All figures run below Wisconsin's own $358,877 statewide median.
