For the first time ever, Oshkosh, WI, has claimed the top spot in Realtor.com®’s Hottest Housing Markets rankings for July. 🏡

What Makes Oshkosh Stand Out?

• Budget-Friendly Prices: With a median list price of $374,000 (a whopping $65,950 less than the national median), Oshkosh homes are attracting buyers seeking affordability.
• Peaceful Surroundings: Tranquil vibes and scenic beauty elevate Oshkosh’s appeal.
• Lightning-Fast Sales: Properties spend just 18 days on the market—32 days less than the national average!

Bidding Wars and Creative Offers

Local real estate agents confirm the frenzy:

• Multiple Offers: Bidding wars are common.
• Creative Strategies: Buyers waive inspections, offer appraisal gap coverage, and even pay property taxes to stand out.

Midwest Heatwave

Oshkosh leads the Midwest charge, but other cities are sizzling too. As mortgage rates climbed, Midwest markets gained popularity. Inventory shortages fueled the fire.

Urban Markets Join the Party

Cities like Las Vegas, Philadelphia, and Chicago are also heating up. Urban buyers seek homes near business hubs as they return to the office.
