Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026).
Inventory in Rusk County has ticked up, with about 95 active listings in June and a slight year-over-year increase, while homes sold dropped by more than half compared with last year. Contract activity shows some resilience, as pending sales edged higher year over year even though new listings declined and closed sales fell sharply.
Pricing is adjusting in response to these shifts, with the typical home value up more than 20 percent from a year ago but the median list price still more than 30 percent higher than last June. Month to month, both sale and list prices pulled back noticeably, suggesting sellers are refining expectations as buyers weigh more options.
Time on market has lengthened dramatically over the past year, with median days on market climbing to 55 and months of supply jumping to around 7.4, well above Wisconsin’s roughly 2.9 months of supply. Despite this looser environment, more than a third of recent sales still closed above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio remains near 96 percent, underscoring that well-priced homes can still attract strong offers. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these mixed signals in Rusk County can use Agent Pronto to connect with a local real estate agent who understands the current dynamics.
