Madison real estate Market Report.

Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Madison real estate market, updated for May 2026. *

Inventory in Madison stayed lean in March, with just 6 homes on the market and only 1 new listing added. With months of supply at 2, buyers have relatively few options to choose from compared with many nearby areas.

Pricing is adjusting sharply in response to these conditions, as the typical home value sits around $25,000 after dropping about 66% month over month and nearly 66% year over year. Even with that, the median list price has moved up over 15% from the prior month to roughly $115,000, showing that sellers are still testing higher asking prices on the limited stock available.

Homes are taking longer to move, spending a median of 91 days on the market, which is up about 1% from last month and more than double year over year. With about two thirds of listings seeing a price drop, no homes selling above list, and an average sale-to-list ratio of roughly 0.83, buyers have room to negotiate while sellers must price strategically from the start. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these shifting conditions and can guide them through the Madison market.

Learn more about what Madison has to offer.

Madison offers residents a welcoming, community-focused lifestyle with convenient parks, local shops, strong schools, and abundant work and recreational opportunities.

Madison sits along the Mississippi River within the greater St. Louis region, offering quick access to downtown St. Louis, East St. Louis, and Granite City. With multiple bridges, major highways, and nearby transit connections, commuting to regional employers, stadiums, and cultural attractions is straightforward.

Daily life in Madison revolves around practical convenience. The city’s grid of established neighborhoods is close to grocery options, local diners, and everyday services, while larger shopping and employment centers in Collinsville and Belleville are a short drive away. Families appreciate access to area schools and nearby higher education such as Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and Lewis and Clark Community College. Outdoor time often centers on the riverfront, with easy drives to Horseshoe Lake State Park and regional trail systems.

Residents rely on community staples like the Madison Public Library and city services coordinated through City of Madison government resources, while regional entertainment at World Wide Technology Raceway draws visitors from across the metro. Proximity to downtown St. Louis also places pro sports, museums, and dining within reach without sacrificing a quieter hometown feel.

Whether you are weighing a move to Madison or planning to sell and relocate, the right local real estate agent can clarify neighborhood options, price trends, and timing. Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers with Madison experts who help streamline decisions and reduce stress at every step.

“After a bad experience with another Realtor, Kathy was recommended to me by a friend and I couldn't of been more pleased that I went with the recommendation. Kathy has great attention to detail when it comes to reviewing the home in person and had a very strategic approach in a multiple bid scenario that won my home at a fair market value. She was also extremely responsive at anytime of the day and was always available to answer any questions!!! It was such a relief to have Kathy as my realtor. Truly best in class service!”

“We relocated from an area where we had lived our entire lives, and the prospect of moving to another state can often be quite challenging. However, our experience with Kimberly was exceptionally smooth and seamless. Her expertise, combined with the thoughtful and tailored feedback she provided based on our specific criteria, proved invaluable throughout the entire process. She conducted herself with the utmost professionalism while also making us feel genuinely supported, as though we were family. We would highly recommend her to any prospective buyers or sellers seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate professional.”

During the process, there were ups and downs which made us nervious. Cinny listened to our concerns and gave us professional advice.”
