Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Forest County real estate market. *
July 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 (Jul 2026).
Forest County currently leans slightly toward sellers, with the market gauge at 43 on a seller’s market scale. Inventory sits at about 5.2 months of supply, which is higher than Wisconsin overall at 3 months. Homes typically take around 52 days to go under contract, signaling a bit more breathing room for buyers than in tighter markets.
Prices have cooled compared with last year, with the typical home value down more than 20 percent year over year, while the median list price is only slightly lower than a year ago. Activity, however, is picking up, as homes sold in July jumped more than 60 percent from a year earlier and pending sales are also higher than last year, even though new listings are down. Only about 14 percent of recent sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is just over 96 percent, suggesting buyers have some room to negotiate.
Conditions in Forest County look different from the broader Wisconsin market, where prices are higher and supply is tighter. Locally, active listings are slightly below last year, yet sales are rising, which could gradually tilt conditions back toward sellers if fewer owners decide to list. With changing prices, shifting inventory, and varied timelines, it helps to have a local expert who can interpret these numbers. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands Forest County’s current dynamics and how to navigate them.
Forest County offers residents a welcoming, outdoors-rich lifestyle with accessible services, strong community ties, and plentiful opportunities to explore, connect, and thrive in a pristine natural setting.
Forest County feels distinctly wilder and quieter than nearby destinations like Marinette County or Oneida County, with deep forests, clear lakes, and a slower pace that appeals to both year round residents and second home owners. From the woods around Crandon to the waterfronts of Lake Lucerne and Pickerel, the landscape shapes daily life, recreation, and community identity.
Outdoor access is a major draw. The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest covers much of the county, offering extensive hiking, ATV, and snowmobile trails. Families gather at Veterans Memorial Park on Metonga Lake, while anglers and paddlers enjoy waters connected to the Wolf River. Residents value local institutions like Crandon School District and the Wabeno Public Library, which help anchor small communities throughout the area.
Local culture reflects both long time forest families and members of the Forest County Potawatomi Community, with events, markets, and school activities creating regular opportunities to connect. Housing options range from modest in town homes in Crandon and Wabeno to secluded cabins and lake properties that attract buyers from Green Bay and Appleton.
Because the market is highly seasonal and inventory can be limited on the most desirable lakes and forest tracts, timing and preparation matter. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers in Forest County with an agent who understands local conditions, pricing, and how to move quickly when the right opportunity appears.

“I met Jim Foytik by chance when I responded to a Realtor.com ad for house I was interested in. he met us at the house and handled the offer which was accepted. In order for Jim to have done this at all, he needed to know the listing realtor to get an extension on the offer deadline. He quickly and precisely put together the offer and his inut pursuaded me to chnage my mind on what I was gong to do. His influence made the difference because our offer was the offer that was accepted. Throughout the process, I would text him questions and would get prompt replies. the take-away for me in this experince is the reator you work with can make all the difference in the world. When buying a home, It is a competitive marketplace and winning is never an accident accident, or by luck and Jim Foytik is a winner. I highly recommend Jim Foytik to anyone selling their home or looking to buy a home.”
