REAL ESTATE INFO FOR ASHLAND AND BAYFIELD COUNTIES

Twelve single family homes sold last month in Ashland. Down from last month’s peak monthly sales of 17, September sales still represent the year’s second highest sales total. 


Prices ranged from $36,000 for a small one bedroom, one bath home on 16th Ave E to $260,000 for a 15 acre homestead just south of town on Beaser Ave. 


The city’s average sale price last month, approximately $165,000, marks the lowest average sale price in five months now. ADD DETAIL ABOUT YEARLY AVERAGE


Two of the twelve homes—514 W 9th Ave and 914 2nd Ave W—sold above asking. They were on the market 5 and 3 days respectively, which is way less than the month’s median of 21 days. 


The city’s highest priced sale of month among homes on the grid, a home on the corner of 7th Street and 9th Ave W, a home initially listed for $285,000, sat on the market for 105 days before selling for $250,000. It’s a pretty house. Beautiful woodwork and tiling, five bedrooms, two baths, an attached two car garage. although not historic itself, it’s a great home a block away from Ashland’s historic MacArthur and Chapple avenues.


For just a little less, a home on 16th Ave W sold for $139,000. This clean, solid home  on .62 acres is a great find for someone wanting a pinch of privacy as well as proximity to a city’s amenities. 


Otherwise, two homes on Front Street E—a small street running only five city blocks—sold last month. Which is kind of crazy. Prior to these two sales, only four homes on the street had sold in the last ten years. 


Commercially, the Stagecoach Bar on Main Street E changed ownership. After some unfortunate events, the bar was listed for sale in August of 2024 for approximately $250,000. It sold for $175,000. 


The only land to sell last month was out in Moquah, a 32 acre spread ion County G. This land is gorgeous; there’s a great balance of pasture and woods, a copse of cedars near a creek and enough ostrich ferns to drown in. But, and this a a big but, the property has buried pipeline running throughout. Which is why is sat on the market for as long as it did. 


No multi-family properties sold last month. 


Ashland, Wisconsin Real Estate Sales: September 2025

Active September for real estate sales around Bayfield. 


Outside of town, a 2 bed, 3 bath cabin tucked in the trees off 13 near Turner Rd sold in six quick days for $463,000. It’s a pristine cabin replete with wood paneling, one that could use a few aesthetic updates, but if its purpose is simply that of a cabin, who cares. On nearly 8 acres, this could be a sweet little homestead. 


In Brickyard Creek, two more homes sold. One for $385,000 and another for $465,000. Brickyard Creek’s popularity cannot be understated--it’s downright competitive. Homes for sale there do not stay on the market for long; and they often sell above list price. Both of the properties that closed last month sold quickly and above sellers’ asking price. And both sold for cash. 


In town, three single family homes plus a condo sold. 


On the bend coming into town, 240 6th St S sold for $425,000. Great view, but nearly every car coming into and through Bayfield drives past the front of this home. This home was purchased in 2021 for $342,309. That’s a 19% increase. 


On S 4th St, a gorgeous home tucked in a copse of trees sold for $550,000. Between Rittenhouse and Manypenny, it’s situated so cleanly. From either street, the home’s discreet; and the surrounding trees buffer the home nicely from some of the city’s ambient noise. 


Only one other home in the city limits has sold for more this year: 129 N 1st St. 


Which also sold last month. N 1st has some of the best lake views in the city. This one does as well. It’s a great home. So many touches of warmth. A menagerie of interior styles, but good balance of colors and textures. And did I mention the view’s phenomenal. 


Also in town, a condo on N 2nd St. sold for $262,500. 


Landwise, a couple of golf course lots on Eagle Run sold. As well, a half acre on N 6th St sold for $40,000. Finally, in Brickyard, 1.6 acres on Creek Trail sold for $65,000. 


BAYFIELD, WISCONSIN REAL ESTATE SALES: SEPTEMBER 2025

Washburn, Wisconsin Real Estate Sales: September 2025

In Washburn, only three single family homes closed in September. And at an average price of approximately $217,000, which is far below the year’s average of $280,000. 


In town, two homes sold: 219 N 8th Ave W and 845 W Bigelow St. Both sold for less than the sellers’ initial asking price. 


219 N 8th St, a manufactured three bed, two bed home on nearly 1/3 of an acre lot, was on the market for 268 days before selling for $159,000. 


On Bigelow St., a three bed, two bath house with a two car garage sold in six days for $220,000, a little less than the sellers’ initial asking price of $225,000. The exterior belies the quaint, modest interior. While the home’s interior could benefit from some new fixtures and such, it’s got great wood floors and classic kitchen cabinets to work with. At its price point, and given its location, it’s a great home for a family to grow in. 


Outside of town, a modest two bed, 1 bath home sitting on 40 acres on Paulson Rd sold in 14 days for $272,500, a little more than the sellers were asking, $269,900. This is a great price. The home does need some attention, but with as much land as you’re getting along with a heated garage, there’s a lot to like about this property. 


No land in the area sold last month. Nothing commercial either.
