West Allis April median sale was $271,500 — up modestly from $264,000 a year ago. YTD median is $270,000, up 7.8% over 2025 YTD.

Modest YoY appreciation. West Allis tracks the lower-cost end of the metro and prices haven't sprinted the way Oak Creek or Franklin have.

Median time to offer is 4 days. Same week. Half of West Allis homes go under contract within the first showing weekend.

0.67 months of supply — extremely tight. Roughly 30 active listings at any given moment, mostly under $300K.

— What the numbers mean

Entry-level still moves at full speed.

West Allis is one of the few places in Milwaukee County where you can still find single-family homes under $250K. That's why this market is so tight: every first-time buyer priced out of the city or the inner-ring suburbs is competing for the same ~30 active listings here.

Sale-to-list ratio is 103.7% in April — sellers averaging nearly 4% over asking. That's higher than Brookfield. The bidding pressure is real, just at a lower price point.

Average days on market dropped from 22 to 26 YTD (slight increase) but median is steady at 7 days. Practically the same answer as Oak Creek: priced right, gone in a week.

The $200K–$300K tier carries the bulk of the volume — 26 of April's 49 sales. But the strongest-growing segment is $300K–$400K (up 37% YTD), and even $400K+ is starting to register (up 250% YTD from a tiny base). West Allis is slowly trending upmarket.

Short read for buyers: West Allis is a get-in-while-you-can market. Entry pricing keeps drawing in competition. Be ready to write fast and be ready to go slightly above asking. Short read for sellers: list aggressive but not stupid — a $20K reach over comparable will sit; $5K over will get bid up.
