🏡 Green Bay Market Update – April 2026

We’re still in a seller’s market right now, but things are definitely starting to feel a bit more normal compared to the fast-paced market we saw over the last couple of years.

Homes are still selling close to asking price or slightly over, but they’re taking a little more time to move — and buyers are starting to see a bit more inventory hit the market.

📊 Right now we’re at about 2.5 months of inventory
📅 Average days on market is around 6 weeks
💰 Median sales price is holding steady with modest growth

Sellers who price correctly are still getting strong results… and buyers finally have a little more breathing room than they did during the frenzy the last few years.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling, this is a good time to look at your specific situation — because the “market” can look very different depending on price range and location.

📩 Always happy to run the numbers for your home or talk through strategy if you’re curious.

🏡 Selling your home? Think of it like a job interview… but for your house.

When you go to an interview, you want to make the best first impression possible. You might buy a new outfit, spend extra time getting ready, and make sure everything looks just right.

The same thing applies when selling your home.

Buyers often decide how they feel about a house within minutes of walking in the door. A home that feels clean, fresh, and well cared for will naturally attract more interest.

The good news? You don’t always need expensive renovations to make a big difference.

Some of the easiest ways to improve your home’s first impression include:

🎨 Fresh paint in neutral colors
🧹 Deep clean (floors, baseboards, windows, and kitchens)
📦 Declutter countertops and surfaces
🍪 Pack away personal collections (cookie jars, figurines, etc.)
💡 Replace burnt-out bulbs
🌿 Simple curb appeal like fresh mulch or seasonal flowers

A little preparation before listing can help your home stand out and attract more serious buyers. Because when buyers walk through the door, that’s your home’s interview—and you want it to get the job.

✔ Steady home values

Homes that are staged, priced correctly, and marketed strategically are selling — while others sit longer than necessary.

Every street, school district, and neighborhood plays a role in value.
