Dane County WI Real Estate Market Update – June 2025

If you're keeping an eye on the real estate market in Dane County, Wisconsin, you’re not alone—and for good reason. June 2025 brought some interesting shifts that buyers, sellers, and investors should take note of. Whether you're in Waunakee, Sun Prairie, Madison, or surrounding communities, here's what you need to know right now.

📊 June 2025 By the Numbers:

• 🏘 660 Active Listings

• 💰 $626,363 Average List Price

• 📆 33 Average Days on Market

• 🔑 537 Properties Sold

• 💵 $620,291 Average Sale Price

💡 Price Reductions—but Still a Strong Seller’s Market

While 19% of homes saw a price reduction last month, and price drops averaged 8.4% for homes over $1M and 4.2% for homes under $1M, it’s important to zoom out. These numbers reflect seller adjustments to meet today’s buyer expectations—not a crash or panic.

Inventory remains low at just over 3 months, and that keeps Dane County firmly in a seller’s market. For comparison, 6 months of inventory typically signals a balanced or buyer's market.

What does this mean for you?

• Sellers still hold the advantage—but strategic pricing matters more than ever.

• Buyers are seeing a bit more flexibility, especially in higher price ranges, but competition is still out there.

• Luxury homes (over $1M) need aggressive, thoughtful marketing to stand out.
