Wisconsin’s housing market is shifting — and for the first time in years, buyers are regaining some serious negotiating power. In this episode of The Wisconsin Housing Report, John Reuter, top 5% Wisconsin Realtor and founder of Integrity Homes, breaks down the most important real estate trends happening right now across Dane County and beyond.

From a jaw-dropping real estate story where a buyer negotiated $10,000 off the asking price with no competing offers, to why inventory levels are slowly climbing while prices remain stable, this episode is packed with real-world insights and local housing data you won’t find anywhere else.

Here’s what we cover in this must-listen episode:

• Dane County Market Update (June 2025): Home sales are down 1.5% year-over-year, but active listings are up 4.3%, giving Wisconsin homebuyers more options than we’ve seen in years.
• How Wisconsin Compares to Other U.S. Markets: While coastal cities like Oakland, Austin, and Seattle see 3–7% price drops, Wisconsin’s real estate market is holding strong thanks to sustainable growth, steady demand, and economic fundamentals.
• Mortgage Rate Insights: With 30-year fixed rates hovering around 6.77%, affordability challenges remain—but strategic buyers are making the most of this window.
• Negotiation Power Is Back: Contingencies, inspection requests, and price reductions are making a comeback—especially in the $300,000+ price points and rural areas around Madison.
• Luxury Market & Regional Breakdowns: From downtown Madison to the outer suburbs, we explore where homes are still moving fast and where buyers are gaining leverage.
• What Sellers Need to Know: The "list it and wait for a bidding war" era is fading. Today’s market demands correct pricing, patience, and preparation.
• What Buyers Should Watch For: With more breathing room and fewer multiple-offer situations, this is one of the best times in recent years to enter the Wisconsin real estate market.

Whether you're a first-time homebuyer in Madison, a homeowner thinking about selling in Waunakee, or just curious about where the Wisconsin housing market is heading in 2025, this episode delivers the expert insight you need.
