Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026).
Over the past year, home values in Portage County have risen faster than the state overall, with the typical home value up nearly 10 percent compared with about 7 percent growth statewide. At the same time, inventory has expanded, as active listings climbed more than 12 percent year over year and months of supply more than doubled to 4 months, easing some of the pressure on buyers.
In the latest July 2026 data, the typical home value sits around $329,000, slightly below the Wisconsin median but up 7.7 percent just since June. New listings surged more than 50 percent month over month and over 40 percent year over year, giving buyers more options even as the average sale-to-list ratio holds near 100 percent.
Sales activity has cooled relative to last year, with homes sold down about 11 percent year over year and the share closing above list price slipping to about 42 percent. Homes are taking longer to sell than a year ago, with median days on market now at 47, but that is a bit quicker than in June, suggesting some renewed momentum. Whether you are a buyer navigating more choices or a seller aiming to price correctly in a shifting market, Agent Pronto can connect you with a Portage County agent who understands these trends and can guide your next move.
