Buying or Selling Around Madison This Fall
← Back to Resources MADISON MARKET INSIGHTS Buying or Selling Around Madison This Fall What the latest local numbers mean October 2026 · Simply Homes Madison in autumn, 2013. Photo: Yinan Chen / Wikimedia Commons, public domain. Planning a move around Madison this fall? Start with the local picture, then narrow it to the homes you would actually buy or compete against. A countywide headline can provide context, but your neighborhood, price range and property type deserve a closer look. A quick look at Dane County The South Central Wisconsin MLS August 2026 report shows 1,214 active listings in Dane County, up 3.3% from August 2025. The year-to-date median sale price through August was $470,000, up 4.4% from the same period in 2025. Our reading: buyers have modestly more choice at the county level, but these figures do not establish that any particular home is cheaper or easier to negotiate on. The median is the midpoint of recorded sale prices, not a measure of how much every property has gained in value. Buying this fall Build a comparison around the kind of home you want. For each serious contender, look at similar recent sales, current alternatives, condition and any price changes. Ask what makes its asking price reasonable and what might justify a different offer. Keep your must-haves separate from features you could change later. A home with dated paint may deserve a second look if the location and layout work for you. A home that stretches your budget may still be the wrong fit, even after a price reduction. Before offering, review the full monthly cost with your lender, including taxes, insurance and any association fees. Decide how much room you want left for repairs and everyday life. That gives you a clearer limit when a home catches your attention. Selling this fall Start with the listings a buyer would compare with yours today. Look at how your home measures up on condition, layout and price, then use comparable closed sales to help shape the listing strategy. A county median alone cannot tell you what to ask. Prioritize preparation that helps buyers understand the home: clear rooms, working lights, a tidy entrance and accurate photos. Discuss larger projects before spending money on them; the right priorities depend on the property and your timeline. Once listed, review showing activity and feedback with your agent. If buyers repeatedly raise the same concern, use that information to revisit the presentation or pricing strategy.

2024 Year in Review: A Year of Growth, Achievement, and Community
As the year comes to a close, it’s time to reflect on the milestones and successes of 2024. This year has been nothing short of incredible, marked by growth, challenges, and a strong commitment to building communities. Here’s a recap of our journey through the past year. January: Building the Foundation We kicked off the year by breaking ground on two four-unit buildings and a three-unit apartment complex in Jannah Village. These projects marked the beginning of a year dedicated to expanding housing opportunities in the area. February: Overcoming Challenges Despite initial struggles with the City of Madison Zoning Department, we persevered and broke ground on an additional 17 units. This milestone underscored our dedication to overcoming obstacles to create housing solutions for our community. April: Recognized for Excellence In April, I was honored to receive the Wall of Success Award from the Sun Prairie School District. This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication we bring to every project. Supporting Homeownership Throughout 2024, we helped 14 homeowners purchase existing homes, contributing to around $6 million in sales. Additionally, we worked with clients to build six new homes, fulfilling dreams of custom-designed living spaces. Expanding Communities In Mazomanie, we built a seven-unit condo complex and have already sold four units. This project exemplifies our commitment to providing high-quality, modern living spaces. Phase 3 of Jannah Village Starting in August, we began work on Phase 3 in Jannah Village, completing half of the phase by December. This involved installing sewer systems, water lines, roads, curbs, and grading—creating 21 new single-family home lots for sale as we head into 2025. Investing in Infrastructure This year, we acquired a warehouse lot and secured all necessary approvals from the City of Madison. This investment sets the stage for future developments and opportunities. Major Developments Underway In 2024, we also broke ground on a 41-unit apartment building, which will be completed in 2025. This project will significantly expand rental opportunities in the area, offering modern and affordable housing solutions. Looking Ahead to 2025 As we close the chapter on 2024, we’re already preparing for an even more impactful 2025. With 21 new single-family home lots in Jannah Village and 41 new rental units coming online, we’re committed to meeting the needs of our growing community. Thank you for your continued support and partnership—here’s to building a brighter future together!
