Pewaukee, WI Housing Market & Real Estate Update (Feb. 26, 2026)
Pewaukee, WI – February 26, 2026 – Local prices and rents stayed elevated, while sales and days-on-market data hinted at a slower winter pace.
Pewaukee, WI home shoppers saw mixed signals heading into late winter. Pricing metrics held up, but the pace of closings cooled and listings generally took longer to move compared with last year.Â
Top takeaways
- Sale prices: Redfin reported a January 2026 median sale price of about $525K, down 9.5% year over year.
- Time to sell: Homes averaged 79 days on market in January, higher than a year ago.
- Price per square foot: Redfin showed a January median of $252 per square foot, up 3.3% year over year.
- Rents: Apartment rent averaged $1,766 as of Feb. 9, up 3.11% year over year.
Market snapshot
On the sales side, Redfin reported 9 homes sold in January, a 47.1% year-over-year drop. That kind of slowdown is typical for winter, but paired with longer days on market it can also signal that buyers are taking more time to decide—even when price-per-square-foot trends remain firm.Â
At the broader regional level, Milwaukee-area inventory was reported at 2.4 months in January, which is still tighter than a balanced market. In practice, that can keep competition from fully disappearing, even if fewer homes are closing month to month.Â
Rentals
On the rental side, RentCafe estimates put typical monthly rents around $1,423 for a one-bedroom and $1,860 for a two-bedroom, with larger units higher. With the average apartment rent cited at $1,766 as of Feb. 9, renters may continue to feel elevated costs even as the for-sale market shows signs of a slower seasonal rhythm.Â
