📊 October 2025 Market Snapshot — Greater Wausau & Tomahawk

📊 October 2025 Market Snapshot — Greater Wausau & Tomahawk

As the temperatures dip and leaves start to fall, our local real estate market is still heating up. October data shows steady activity in both the Greater Wausau and Tomahawk areas, with continued opportunities for buyers and sellers alike.

Below is a quick look at how each region performed last month.

Greater Wausau Area

(Wausau, Rib Mountain, Schofield, Weston)

The Wausau market remains tight and continues to lean in favor of sellers. Homes are moving steadily with competitive pricing and motivated buyers.

October by the numbers:

•Homes sold: 102

•Active listings: 102

•Months of inventory: 1 month

•Market type: Sellers Market

The average list price came in at $299,434, and the average sale price landed almost exactly on target at $299,550. With homes spending around 60 days on the market, well-presented and well-priced listings are still getting solid attention.

What this means:

•Sellers: Strong conditions continue — your home stands a good chance of selling at or near list price.

•Buyers: Acting fast and having financing squared away will help you stay competitive.

Tomahawk Area

Up north, the rhythm of the market is always influenced by waterfront and recreational properties — and fall brings its own opportunities. Inventory remains limited, but buyers looking for seasonal value may find the timing favorable.

October by the numbers:

•Homes sold: 15

•Active listings: 27

•Months of inventory: 1.8 months

•Market type: Sellers Market

Last month, the average list price was $508,872 with the average sale price close behind at $497,693. Properties spent around 85 days on the market, reflecting the area’s seasonal pace.

What this means:

•Sellers: You’re still in a favorable position, especially with unique or waterfront homes.

•Buyers: Seasonal shifts can bring opportunity — fall is often a smart time to secure recreational or lake properties before spring demand kicks back in.

Bottom Line

Even with the change in seasons, demand remains strong across both markets.

•Sellers can expect continued activity and solid pricing.

•Buyers who are ready, decisive, and flexible can still find good opportunities — especially in the Northwoods as we head further into fall.
