Madison Real Estate Market (and surrounding communities)

Jump to Comments

I mentioned in a blog post early this week that I would be sharing what Madison area communities are in a Seller’s market, Buyer’s market or Balanced market.

On the air on Wednesday I gave the run down of most of those markets. We still have some numbers to pull and will be posting them soon but here is a few of the Madison real estate market numbers.

Madison East Real Estate (Single Family)

Absorption Rate: 6.6 Months

This makes the Madison East Real Estate almost a sellers market.

Madison West Real Estate (Single Family)

Absorption Rate: 8.4 Months

This puts Madison West Real Estate in a balanced market.

Dane County Real Estate (Single Family)

Absorption Rate: 10.2 months

This makes the overall Dane County single family real estate market a balance market.

Dane County Real Estate (Condo)

Absorption Rate: 21.4 months

This makes the condo market in Dane County a definite Buyer’s Market.

The Dane County Condo real estate market is throwing a wrench into the real estate market numbers. The problem is everyone is combining the numbers. The local Realtor board pulls the numbers from the MLS. The news media outlets gets the numbers from the Realtor board.

I was actually surprised when I looked at the numbers separately. The single family market is out of the crazy seller’s market it was but has become balanced. The condo market is not only a buyer’s market, but to the extreme.  Almost 2 years of inventory is sitting out there.
