📊 September 2025 Local Market Update — Greater Wausau & Tomahawk Areas

If you’ve been keeping an eye on the local real estate market, you know it’s been moving fast! Here’s a breakdown of what happened in September 2025 in the Greater Wausau and Tomahawk areas, along with some insights to help buyers and sellers understand the trends.

Greater Wausau Area

(Wausau, Rib Mountain, Schofield, Weston)

The Wausau area continues to favor sellers, with homes moving quickly and inventory staying tight.
• Homes sold last month: 94
• Current active inventory: 224 homes for sale (111 of these already have accepted offers)
• Months of supply: 2.38
• Market type: Sellers Market

What this means for buyers and sellers:
Out of the 94 homes that sold last month, the median list price was $297,450, and the median sold price came in slightly higher at $298,450. Homes spent a median of just 46 days on the market, meaning well-priced properties are selling fast. For sellers, this is a strong market to list your home. For buyers, acting quickly and being prepared is key.

Tomahawk Area

The Northwoods real estate market has its own unique rhythm, and September proved that recreational and seasonal homes play a big role in shaping trends.
• Homes sold last month: 14
• Current active inventory: 63 homes for sale (13 with accepted offers)
• Months of supply: 4.5
• Market type: Sellers Market

What this means for buyers and sellers:
While 4.5 months of supply typically suggests a balanced market, the reality in Tomahawk is different. Many properties are recreational or seasonal, so the demand for single-family, owner-occupied homes remains strong. The 14 homes that sold had a median list price of $266,500 and a median sold price of $257,000, with a median of 98 days on the market. Sellers with well-priced homes that meet local demand are seeing results, and buyers should be ready to act when the right property comes along.

Bottom Line

Whether you’re buying, selling, or just keeping an eye on the market, September shows that demand remains strong in both the Greater Wausau and Tomahawk areas. Sellers can take advantage of a fast-moving market, and buyers who are prepared, pre-approved, and flexible can still find the right home.
