I Analyzed 40 Home Sales in Greendale. Here Is What Actually Happened This Summer

Karen Larson approached this summer's Greendale housing data with the same rigorous, evidence-based methodology she applies to every client engagement: a full review of MLS sold data, leveraging a verified sample of 40 completed transactions across the twelve weeks ending August 30, 2026, rather than a partial snapshot or an anecdotal impression of the season.

The method was straightforward and the credibility rests entirely on its transparency. Every figure below comes directly from MLS sold data for Greendale, cross-checked against a corroborating source before publication, covering all residential property types that closed within the window.

The first finding worth noting is the median sold price. Homes in Greendale sold at a median of $404,000 across this period, a figure that reflects the considered judgment of forty separate buyers and sellers rather than a single outlier transaction.

The second finding is the pace of the market, and it surprised even a seasoned observer of local conditions. The median time on market across those 40 Greendale sales was 34 days, a tempo that speaks to a strategic alignment between listed inventory and ready, qualified demand.

The third finding, and arguably the most telling, concerns negotiating leverage. The median sale-to-list percentage in Greendale reached 103.1%, meaning the typical seller in this dataset closed above their original asking price. That figure alone reframes the conversation many homeowners are having about what their property is truly worth in today's environment.

Taken together, these three findings, a median price of $404,000, a median of 34 days on market, and a sale-to-list ratio of 103.1%, tell a cohesive story: Greendale sellers this summer retained meaningful pricing power, and buyers who hesitated on strong listings often found themselves competing rather than negotiating from strength.

It is worth noting what this dataset does not attempt to say. With 40 transactions carrying both sale and list prices in this window, the sample does not meet the threshold required to isolate an over-ask share or a fast-sale share with statistical confidence, and Karen Larson holds that standard deliberately rather than offer an approximation dressed as precision.
