Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Portage County real estate market. *
August 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 (Aug 2026).
Year-over-year, Portage County’s housing market has cooled in price but expanded in inventory. Typical home values are down about 12 percent from last August while active listings are up nearly 18 percent, and months of supply has climbed sharply to roughly double last year’s level.
In the latest August snapshot, the typical home value sits just under $300,000 with a median list price a bit higher, and homes are taking a median of 54 days to go under contract. About 32 percent of recent sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 99 percent, pointing to buyers gaining a bit more leverage than they had earlier in the year.
Sales activity shows mixed signals, with homes sold down about 12 percent from a year ago while pending sales are up more than 28 percent, suggesting some buyers are still moving decisively when they find the right fit. Compared with the broader Wisconsin market, Portage County offers lower typical sale prices than the state overall but sits in a similar seller-leaning environment with about four months of supply. Whether you are a buyer trying to navigate these shifting conditions or a seller aiming to price strategically, Agent Pronto can connect you with an agent who understands the Portage County market in detail.

“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.”
