21 days. That’s the median time on market in Middleton right now, up from 9 days a year ago. Prices have moved too. Home prices are down 3.8% compared to the same time last year. Before anyone panics, this is a cool-off, not a crash. Both sides have something to work with right now. If you’re buying, there’s a lot more opportunity than there was a year ago, with more flexibility in terms and other parts of an offer. Some buyers are holding back because interest rates are going up, so it’s worth knowing where you stand before you decide to wait. If you’re selling, homes are still selling pretty quickly. The key is pricing it correctly and doing the right marketing to get it sold. Which side are you on? Comment “buying” or “selling” and I’ll tell you what this market means for you.

28 days. That’s the average time DeForest homes spent on the market in September, up from 19 days a year ago. DeForest may be one of the first markets where we’re seeing a little decline in activity. The important part is where it’s showing up. $300K to $400K homes are still moving fast. Higher-end homes and new construction are sitting longer, and that’s what’s pushing days on market higher. Prices were down 1.5% in September. With fewer sales, though, the numbers can get skewed pretty far one way or the other, so I wouldn’t read too much into one month. Looking at October, I think things might pick back up and we’ll see more of a balance. DeForest and the surrounding areas are still a great market. Selling above $400K and not sure how to price it right now? Send me a message.

If that sounds alarming, it shouldn’t. This isn’t the world falling apart in Middleton. It’s things balancing out. For buyers, there’s a lot more opportunity right now, including more flexibility in terms and other parts of an offer. Some buyers are reluctant because interest rates are going up.

Most houses don’t come with a secret passage. This one does. This is the William T. Leitch House at 752 E Gorham St in Madison. Gothic Revival, built from stone, with deeded Lake Mendota access and lake views. What stood out to me walking through it: 11-foot ceilings that actually fill the rooms with light. Italian marble fireplaces and woodwork you just don’t see anymore. Parlors, a formal dining room, a library, and a glass conservatory. A remodeled kitchen, so the history doesn’t come at the cost of everyday living. 6 bedrooms, 6 full baths, 1 half bath. Offered at $1,650,000. Homes like this don’t come up often on the isthmus. If you want the full details or a private showing, send me a DM or give me a call.
