Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Inventory in Orchard Ridge has tightened over the past year, with active listings down about 11 percent and just 1.9 months of supply compared with 2.8 months across Madison. Contract activity has cooled, as homes sold, new listings, and pending sales are all running roughly 7 to 18 percent below last year in this rolling three‑month view.
Prices have adjusted notably, with the typical home value down nearly 30 percent year over year even as the median list price is up more than 12 percent. Sellers are seeing fewer bidding wars, as the share of homes selling above list has fallen to about 30 percent, down roughly 25 percent from last year, and the average sale-to-list ratio has edged just under 100 percent.
Days on market show a mixed picture for Orchard Ridge, with the median now at 43 days, slightly faster than a year ago but higher than earlier in 2026. With inventory still relatively lean but pricing and negotiation dynamics shifting, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands how to navigate these changing conditions.

“Paul did extremely well for me totally happy with his efforts during this difficult time with the estate sale of property he presented all the information from the value of the property what I needed to do to get the property ready for each step”
“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.”
“Chris and his team made purchasing my first house very easy. Communication was top notch. Every question i had was answered in a timely manner and broken down enough for me to understand what was going on during the whole process. I have already passed on his info to several people looking to buy. I will absolutely go through him again if I'm in the position to buy again.”
“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”
“We have appreciated and loved working with Joe over the past 10 years! We have used his services to buy and sell our home and it's been a wonderful, smooth process throughout. He knows the area, is flexible and also available for questions we have throughout the process. Such a wonderful person to work with and would recommend to anyone looking for a home.”
“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.”

“Barrett helped us through the process of selling our condo by giving us options and explaining them well. He always answered our questions promptly. We sold our condo quickly, and we were very happy with the entire process. If we move back to Madison, we will work with Barrett again.”
“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.”
“It was great! He was always available when we had a question, and always very helpful! Not only he help us find a home but also he helped with the sale of are place.”
“Rena was an incredible asset to our plan to purchase a new home. Her extensive expertise and patience with my many questions made this a great experience. I look forward to working with Rena again!”
“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.”
“Melissa was great to work with. She went above and beyond to get our questions answered, offer showings, and was a great communicator. She was incredibly flexible with our shifting priorities as we determined what we really wanted in a house. She made the first time home buying experience comfortable. We're so happy to have bought our first home!”
“Mallary went above and beyond helping us purchase our home! We were moving all the way from SC and she made this process so much easier. Driving to multiple houses in different areas for us and video calling giving us great tours of homes. The home we decided to buy had some issues with it and needed some repairs after the appraisal. Mallary went above and beyond buying things for our home using her own money to make sure we were able to get our dream home. She even offered to repaint the entire outside of the house on her own. She has a great work ethic, is extremely friendly, and very knowledgeable! I highly recommend her to everyone looking for a realtor!”
“We truly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. Ryan stuck with us through months of searching and always patient, upbeat, and ready with new ideas and a great sense of humor!. Sometimes he knew what we’d love before we even saw it ourselves. He was so easy to work with by being flexible with showings, quick to respond and full of great local insight and contacts. We felt really taken care of every step of the way!”
“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!”
“Marcie has helped me purchase two homes, and sell one. Fantastic experience every time, assisted me with all my questions and inquiries. Available at the times I needed guidance the most.”
