Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Madison currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge signaling a seller’s market. Months of supply sit at 2.8 in the latest rolling three-month view, still below the roughly balanced threshold. Homes are taking longer to sell, with the median days on market rising to 50.
Prices are still edging upward over the past year, with typical home values and median list prices each up about 5 percent compared with a year ago. At the same time, buyers have gained a bit more breathing room as the share of homes selling above list price has fallen sharply from the highs of recent years, now around one-third of sales. Active listings are slightly higher than a year ago, and months of supply is up nearly 29 percent year over year, indicating inventory has loosened even though it still favors sellers.
Sales activity shows a mixed picture in this rolling three-month period. Homes sold are up modestly from a year ago, yet new listings and pending sales have slipped slightly year over year, hinting that both buyers and sellers may be a bit more cautious. With an average sale-to-list ratio hovering right around 100 percent, most properties are still trading very close to asking price. In a market where conditions are shifting but still tilted toward sellers, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a local Madison agent who understands these trends and can guide them through their next move.
Madison offers residents a vibrant balance of outdoor recreation around its lakes, a thriving arts and dining scene, and strong educational and employment opportunities in a welcoming, community-focused environment.
Madison stands apart from nearby Milwaukee and Janesville with its rare blend of college-town energy, lakeside scenery, and a strong civic mindset. The city’s identity centers on the University of Wisconsin campus, the Capitol Square, and the two signature lakes, Monona and Mendota, which shape daily life as much as they shape the skyline.
Residents enjoy an active outdoor culture, from the extensive City of Madison bike paths to waterfront parks like Olin Park. Cultural anchors such as the Overture Center for the Arts and Madison Museum of Contemporary Art keep the arts scene accessible year round, while the Dane County Farmers’ Market on the Square reinforces the city’s local food and farm connections.
Neighborhoods each have a distinct feel. Areas near Hilldale mix condos with shopping and dining, Atwood and Marquette offer walkable streets and independent businesses, and suburban-style pockets on the west and east sides appeal to buyers seeking more space and newer construction.
With steady demand from university, health care, and tech employers, Madison’s housing market rewards preparation. Whether you are planning to sell a near-campus bungalow or buy your first home along the Ice Age National Scenic Trail, timing and strategy matter. Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers with the right local real estate agent so you can move confidently in Madison’s competitive market.

“Kyle did a wonderful job for my family. My first time selling a home and he answered every question I threw at him with no hesitation. I never give anyone a 10 because they can always be perfect. I would definitely reach out to Klye again when I sell my home in the future.”
“Austin was the best we could ask for, he made the whole process seamless. We had nothing but good and positive things to say about Austin. This stage in life will be leveled up because of the professional and attention to detail Austin gives”
“Dawn is amazing!! We absolutely LOVE our new home thanks to dawn. She went above and beyond on anything we needed at any time day or night. Made the process of buying are home so easy and set us up with the best team.”
“Very responsive and knowledgeable. Easy to work with and made time for all of our showings. Communication was top notch. I would recommend Jennifer to anyone looking to buy a home. Very transparent and will not put you in the wrong position.”
“Everything about Liz and her knowledge is amazing! She is honest and very forthcoming both when buying and selling. I feel like I’ve had a parent by my side the entire process of both buying and selling a house. Liz ensures that you are supported through every step of the journey and always has your back. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.”
“Ashley is incredible agent, with over 20 years of experience, and knowledge far surpassing the average. Not only did she walk us through every single step of buying our first home, but she was able to give such a high level of detail and insight during inspections and viewings that we were able to focus on how we felt about each house, without worrying we’d miss a critical detail. She went above and beyond repeatedly to make sure we got the best deal during negotiations, making sure every contract was iron clad and in our best interests. Quick to respond to any question, extremely professional yet laid back and personable, there is no one else I would recommend more!”
“Dre was highly recommended to my partner and me by one of our co-workers, who is also a realtor. After meeting him for the first time, we both knew he was the right realtor for us. He presented as professional, methodical, and knowledgeable, and his demeanor really put us at ease. We were immediately comfortable around him. As we continued working with him and getting to know him, we also found Dre to be reliable, patient, and attentive. As first time homebuyers, this was exactly what we were looking for. He's exceptional at all the things you want him to be exceptional at: scheduling and coordinating showings, letting us take our time in the houses, walking us through the paperwork and the processes with remarkable patience, even when we asked the same question multiple times. Where Dre really shines, though, is in his responsiveness. He was always incredibly communicative with us about his availability, and he was more than willing to take calls or have extensive text message chats at all times of the day. It felt like we were his only clients, which we certainly were not, but that was level of attention and focus he gave us. One example stands out above the rest: There was a new house on the market we really wanted to see on the first day it opened (a Saturday), but Dre was unable to take us to a showing himself since he was out of town, something he had told us about two weeks in advance. We wanted to make sure we were the first people in there, though, and he went out of his way to make it happen by connecting us with one of his other agents who was available. We ended up loving the house and wanted to submit an offer. At the drop of a hat, while he was on vacation, Dre got on the phone with us for 45 minutes to talk about the house and start drafting up an offer. We continued communicating with him periodically through the rest of the afternoon, getting things squared away with the language. Fast forward to three days later, and we had an accepted offer! I can honestly say that I don't think we would have gotten our house if Dre hadn't willingly sacrificed part of his vacation time for us. He is not just a team player; he is a cheerleader and a coach too. He made sure we felt supported throughout the entire process, and it gave us such a positive experience as first-time homebuyers. His reputation truly precedes him; we're so grateful for the initial recommendation, and for the above-and-beyond service we received from Dre!”
“Kelley Muselman has been wonderful to work with. Our family has worked with her for over four years, and during that time she has helped us with two home purchases, one land purchase and sale, and most recently the sale of my parents’ primary home. She is knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. Kelley takes the time to explain things clearly, stays on top of every detail, and genuinely looks out for her clients’ best interests. Every transaction we’ve worked on with her has been smooth, well-managed, and far less stressful because of her guidance. It’s rare to find a realtor you trust enough to go back to again and again, but Kelley has absolutely earned that trust with our family. We highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.”
“Carolyn is great to work with! She is fast to respond with showings arrangements and answers our many questions! My husband & I are in rental property management but this time we were looking for our own personal house. Carolyn has been showing us houses for a while and we finally decided that building our own "empty nester" house was the best for us. We found some land and Carolyn set up for us to view it & found out some information about what kind of buildings we could have on the property. She is friendly, helpful & professional. Thanks, Carolyn!”
“We cannot say enough good things about Andrew. He helped us buy our very first home in Mount Horeb in 2018, guided us through purchasing our second home in Blanchardville in 2023, and most recently sold our Mount Horeb house for us in 2026. Having worked with him through every stage of our homeownership journey, we can confidently say there is no better broker we could have hoped for. Andrew is extremely professional and exceptionally knowledgeable. When it came time to sell, he gave clear, practical recommendations on exactly what we needed to do to make our home as marketable as possible—and those recommendations truly paid off. He is hands-on, responsive, and genuinely invested in his clients’ success, making what can be a stressful process feel manageable and well-guided. Regardless of what company he is with, Andrew sets the standard for what a great realtor should be. That said, HomeTeam4U has been absolutely awesome throughout this transaction, and we are incredibly grateful for the support and expertise we received. We would recommend Andrew without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
“Sean was professional and also personable! He's very knowledgeable and could answer all my questions, and he made me feel at ease! His positive energy is contagious. I really enjoyed working with Sean!”
“Kim Colby and Tom Citta helped me both sell my previous home and buy my new one, and they were fantastic throughout the entire process. They were professional, responsive, and made everything feel smooth and stress-free for my wife and I. They gave great advice on pricing and were always available to answer questions. On the buying side, we were able to find exactly what we wanted, and they assisted us through the entire process, answering all of our questions along the way. We’re so grateful for their support and highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”
“Justine is my favorite realtor, ever. And my family has moved a lot during a long military career. When we downsized our house a few years ago, Justine walked us through the selling process, helping us to logically prepare the house for sale while also allowing us the emotional space to process all the memories we were leaving behind. She also was instrumental in helping us look for another house that fit our needs, again hearing us when we declined a house but also reminding us what she had heard us say in the past were features that we liked. I was always impressed with her ability to listen to the details - dates, numbers, needs, timelines - while also being so incredibly approachable and responsive.”
“Brian always had our best interests in mind throughout our entire buying process. He was patient, thorough, and went out of his way to make the process as comfortable, easy, and stressless as possible. We feel really lucky we have had him as our representative.”
“Very good. Rena did an excellent job representing us for both the purchase of our new house and the sale of our previous house. I greatly appreciated being paired with her and saving the time and stress of searching for her myself.”
“Amy was a fantastic broker to have on our side. She helped us understand the process, kept us informed during the entire process, and was always available for communications with prompt replies and follow up. She is very knowledgeable and was able to clearly convey details and processes to us. We didn't worry about anything as Amy was on top of everything at all points in the process. We trusted Amy to work on our behalf and in our best interested and she lived up to that trust without question. We highly recommend Amy!”
“Attentive and caring agent. Worked hard in a less than optimal market to get our house sold.”
“Trent is a very experienced and Knowledgeable realtor. We used him to buy a new house and sell are old one, ten years ago and again this year. He goes above and beyond to make buying and selling a great experience. I highly recommend Trent Estabrook!”
“Quick contact made by assigned real estate agent. Was able to make an appointment at my earliest convenience!”
“I would recommend. She was personable and professional and helped me with my real estate needs. She was able to list my property at a flat fee to increase my homes exposure.”
