Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Inventory in Tenney-Lapham has loosened in this rolling three-month view, with active listings up compared with late winter and months of supply rising to 5.6. New listings increased from earlier in the year, but year over year they are still down nearly a third, and homes sold and pending sales have fallen by more than half. Even with fewer closings, about two-thirds of homes are going under contract within two weeks, showing that well-priced properties are still drawing quick interest.
Pricing is showing mixed signals as the market absorbs this softer sales volume. The typical home value over the latest three months is slightly lower than a year ago, while the median list price is also down modestly year over year, suggesting some seller caution. At the same time, the average sale-to-list ratio has pushed above 101 percent, and nearly half of sales are closing above asking, so the homes that do sell are often achieving strong prices.
Compared with the broader Madison market, Tenney-Lapham is running with far more inventory relative to recent sales, even though the city overall is still in a tighter seller’s environment. Days on market have shortened significantly from a year ago, indicating that buyers are deciding more quickly when they find the right fit, despite the higher months of supply. Whether you are a buyer trying to make sense of these shifting conditions or a seller aiming to price strategically, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands this data and how to act on it.
Tenney-Lapham offers residents a walkable, diverse community with historic homes, vibrant local eateries, plentiful green spaces, and easy access to parks and neighborhood events that foster connection.
Tenney-Lapham stands out from other near east side neighborhoods in Madison with its rare mix of downtown energy and relaxed lakefront streets. Just north of the Capitol, it offers quicker access to the isthmus than Schenk-Atwood yet feels more residential than the heart of Downtown Madison.
Tree-lined blocks lead to the waterfront at Tenney Park, where residents jog along the Yahara River, skate in winter, and launch kayaks onto Lake Mendota. Locals walk or bike to neighborhood fixtures like Christensen’s Grocery and popular spots along East Johnson Street. The area’s blend of classic houses, modest multi-flats, and contemporary apartments attracts longtime residents, students, and professionals connected to UW–Madison and the nearby Capitol Square.
Community identity runs strong through the Tenney-Lapham Neighborhood Association, which supports local events, traffic calming, and careful infill development. Buyers will find that move-in ready homes and well-kept duplexes can draw multiple offers, especially close to the park or bike paths leading toward Marquette and Capitol East. Sellers benefit from the steady demand for walkable locations near the lakes, bus routes, and bike corridors.
Whether you are planning ahead for a competitive purchase or timing a sale to capture peak interest, working with a Tenney-Lapham–savvy agent is key. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with professionals who understand how to prepare, price, and negotiate effectively in this sought-after neighborhood.
