Wisemans Creek's house market is moving lower: the median sale price reached $610,000 in the December 2025 quarter, roughly 36% below where it sat a year earlier. That said, only three sales settled in the quarter, so the median is a noisy signal — treat it as a direction rather than a level. Zoom out: prices have climbed roughly 54% over the past decade — 4.4% per year on average.
