Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Barron County real estate market. *
September 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Inventory in Barron County has eased slightly month over month, with active listings dipping while still running just above last year’s levels. At the same time, contract activity has shifted, as homes sold jumped sharply from a year ago while both new listings and pending sales fell noticeably.
Pricing has been moving upward in response to these mixed supply and demand signals, with the typical home value up strongly year over year and the median list price also rising. Compared with the broader Wisconsin market, Barron County’s typical sale price still sits lower, yet its annual price growth is running ahead of the state’s more modest gain.
Conditions show a buyer-leaning environment, with months of supply under three locally but still close to the statewide level, and homes taking longer to sell than a year ago. Even with a smaller share of properties closing above list price and a slightly lower sale-to-list ratio than last year, both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended real estate agent who understands how to navigate this shifting landscape.
Barron County offers residents a welcoming blend of outdoor recreation, tight-knit communities, and practical opportunities that sustain a high quality of life.

Centered around the city of Barron, the county sits between Rice Lake, Cumberland, and Chetek, with Eau Claire and the Twin Cities within a reasonable drive for expanded work and entertainment options.
