“Working with Matt Bonson was an outstanding experience from start to finish. His professionalism, deep knowledge of the market, and clear experience were evident in every step of the process. Matt paid close attention to every detail, ensuring nothing was overlooked and that we felt informed and confident in every decision. What truly sets Matt apart is how genuinely he puts his clients first. He took the time to understand our family’s needs and priorities and consistently advocated for what was best for us. We never felt rushed or pressured—only supported and guided with honesty and care. Matt’s expertise, responsiveness, and commitment made what could have been a stressful process smooth and successful. We are incredibly grateful for his dedication and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor who combines professionalism, experience, and a true client-first approach.”

Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Jefferson County real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Year-over-year, Jefferson County’s housing values have climbed noticeably, with the typical home value up 8.8 percent to about $340,000, outpacing Wisconsin’s 3.53 percent gain and typical value of $322,700. At the same time, buyers have a bit less to choose from than last year, as inventory has edged down 1.89 percent while pending sales dropped 26.37 percent and new listings fell 32.65 percent.
In February 2026, homes were typically listed around $377,250 and spent a median of 51 days on the market, which is 21.43 percent longer than a year ago but more than 20 percent faster than just a month earlier. Sellers still hold an advantage with only 2.5 months of supply, about 25.4 percent of sales closing above list price, and an average sale-to-list ratio near 0.98, even as about 20.5 percent of listings saw a price drop.
Looking to the next month, projections suggest the typical home value could edge up to roughly $341,500, while the projected median list price may rise to about $390,925. Inventory is expected to stay tight near 154 homes, similar to February’s 156, which would continue to support current seller-friendly conditions while giving buyers limited but active options. Whether you plan to buy or sell in Jefferson County, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local real estate agent who understands these trends and can guide both buyers and sellers through this market.
