Oshkosh's housing market shows an unusual split: homes sell in a median 42 days -- two weeks faster than Wisconsin overall -- and inventory remains tight at 1.7 months. Even so, 37% of active sellers reduced asking prices during the week ending Nov. 7. AI Summary
More than one-third of Oshkosh home sellers cut asking prices in the week ending Nov. 7, 2025, even as the Wisconsin metro maintains just 1.7 months of housing supply. The 37.1% price reduction rate exceeds typical patterns for such constrained inventory, while homes sell in a median 42 days, two weeks faster than Wisconsin's 56-day state average.
The Oshkosh market absorbed 15 homes during the week while adding 11 new listings, further tightening an already compressed market. Despite strong seller conditions, the median list price of $354,900 sits 11.2% below Wisconsin's $399,900 median, suggesting sellers prioritize transaction velocity over maximum pricing in the current environment.
Active listings totaled 97 single-family homes across the Oshkosh metro, translating to 1.7 months of supply based on current absorption rates. The market absorbed 15 properties while welcoming 11 new listings, continuing a pattern of demand outstripping fresh inventory.
Properties moved quickly at a median 42 days on market, significantly faster than both Wisconsin's 56-day median and the national 77-day benchmark. The 10.3% relisted rate indicates most properties sell on their first market appearance, though slightly above the typical sub-10% threshold.
The $354,900 median list price represents $159.1 per square foot, well below Wisconsin's $209.3 per square foot average. While 37.1% of active listings reduced prices during the week, no properties increased asking prices, an unusual dynamic in a strong seller's market.
The aggressive pricing strategy appears effective given the 15 weekly absorptions and rapid 42-day sales pace. Sellers accepting market realities rather than testing upper price limits may explain why Oshkosh homes move 25% faster than the state median despite the inventory shortage.
Oshkosh's 1.7 months of supply slightly exceeds Wisconsin's 1.4 months but remains well below the national 2.5-month level. The metro's 42-day sales pace beats both state (56 days) and national (77 days) benchmarks by substantial margins.
At $354,900, Oshkosh's median price trails Wisconsin by $45,000 and the national median by $78,080. The $159.1 per-square-foot pricing sits 24% below the state's $209.3 figure and 25% under the national $212.3 average.
