South Shore Real Estate Sales, June 2025

Of the whopping 9 single family home sales along the south shore this year, 4 of them happened just last month. Two in Herbster, two in Port Wing; Cornucopia, for the fifth month in a row, had no single family home sales, although that drought’s probably going to end next month. 

Both homes that sold in Port Wing sold below asking. 83145 Washington Ave sold for $225,000 after being on the market for 19 days; and 80240 Morrison Rd, a home on 15 acres, sold for $310,000 after 49 days. 

Homes were a bit more pricey in Herbster, which has been the case for a while now. At $515,000 and $695,000 respectively, these sales demonstrated not just the market strength of Herbster but also that of Lake Superior frontage. Land near Bark Bay and Siskiwit Bay have been and most likely will remain covetable for years to come. 

Landwise, Port Wing saw a couple of parcels sell, disparate in composition but equal in price. One, an inland parcel of 160 acres between Port Wing and Iron River on Port Wing Town Line Road; the other, a 4 acre lot with 308 ft of Lake Superior frontage on Quarry Point Road. The former sold in 160 days; the latter in 31. Both sold for $225,000: the former at $1,406 an acre, the latter at $56,250 an acre. That’s the difference a slice of the big lake will make.
