Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026 - Aug 2026).
Inventory in Tenney-Lapham has expanded in this rolling three-month view, with active listings up moderately from a year ago while new listings have risen more sharply. Months of supply has climbed dramatically year over year to 8.3 months, suggesting homes are staying on the market longer and giving buyers more options. Even with that higher supply, pending sales are up solidly from last year, indicating that well-priced homes are still attracting offers.
Pricing has inched higher, with the typical home value up modestly year over year and now just under $500,000. At the same time, the share of homes selling above list price has jumped compared with last year, and the average sale-to-list ratio is now slightly above 101 percent, showing buyers are still willing to bid up desirable properties despite slower overall volume.
Market pace has eased, with the median days on market around the high-30s in this period, a bit faster than a year ago but slower than earlier this summer. Compared with Madison as a whole, Tenney-Lapham shows a higher months-of-supply figure, pointing to more of a pause locally even as citywide conditions lean toward a firmer seller’s market. With homes sold down significantly from last year but contract activity still healthy, conditions can be nuanced for both sides of a transaction. Buyers and sellers in Tenney-Lapham can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an experienced local agent to navigate these shifting dynamics.
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.

“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.”
“We worked with Matt and Candie on real estate transactions in Cape Coral, FL, Ft. Myers, FL and Madison, WI. With all 4 transactions, their knowledge of the market and neighborhoods was excellent. They have great negotiation skills when it came to purchasing and selling our homes. They were also very helpful in all the aspects of selling and buying a new home. Whether you needed help finding a service provider to get something repaired, coordinating with getting utilities switched over, or getting your modem out of the home before closing, Matt & Candie were always there. They are really great partners to have when selling or buying your home!”
