1. What happened

The home at 633 Stonehaven Drive in Sun Prairie was first listed by a different brokerage on February 23, 2025, at $460,000. After 83 days on market with no successful sale, the listing expired on May 16, 2025. The same brokerage re-listed the home on June 9, 2025, at $430,000, a $30,000 drop. After another 114 days, that listing also expired on September 30, 2025. By the time the seller reached out to Integrity Homes, the home had been on and off the market for 197 cumulative days across two listings, with two different price points, and no closed sale. The seller had run out of patience with a brokerage that could not get the home sold.

• First listing (Feb 23, 2025): $460,000 list, 83 DOM, expired
• Second listing (June 9, 2025): $430,000 list, 114 DOM, expired
• Total cumulative time on market with prior broker: 197 days
• Number of price reductions during that period: one, of $30,000
• Result: zero closed offers across both listings

2. What we did

The seller hired Integrity Homes to take over the listing from the previous brokerage and reset it. We treated this as a clean takeover, not a price drop on the prior stale listing. The MLS record shows the home went into Delayed status on November 3, 2025, then Active on November 4, 2025, at $414,900. That price was intentionally set below the prior $430,000 expired list price and just under the Sun Prairie city-wide median of $430,000 at the time, which gave the home immediate competitive positioning against everything else in the inventory.

• Fresh MLS entry: new MLS number, reset days-on-market clock, new exposure cycle
• New list price: $414,900 (down $15,100 from the prior expired $430,000)
• Position relative to Sun Prairie's $430,000 median: just under, making the home the value pick in its price band
• Re-launched as a Delayed-then-Active listing, giving the market a clean entry rather than a stale carryover
• Integrity Homes took over the entire listing presentation, marketing, and buyer communication from the prior brokerage

3. What it meant

The listing went Active on November 4, 2025. Fourteen days later, on November 18, the MLS status changed to Offer-Show with an accepted offer in hand. The home closed at $415,000, which is $100 above the $414,900 list price. Total days on market: 18. After 197 days unsold across two listings with a different broker, the seller closed within three weeks of re-listing with Integrity Homes.

• List price: $414,900
• Final sale price: $415,000 ($100 over list)
• Days on market (DOM): 18
• Days from Active to accepted offer: 14
• Listing date: November 4, 2025
• Accepted offer date: November 18, 2025
• Net comparison: closed at $415,000 vs. the prior expired $430,000 list. Real-world buyers in the current Sun Prairie market priced this home at $415,000, not at $430,000 and not at $460,000.

What this means for other Sun Prairie sellers

I get calls every spring and fall from Sun Prairie homeowners who are 30, 60, or 90 days into a stale listing. The instinct is almost always the same: drop the price by another 5 or 10 grand. The Stonehaven Drive story shows why that rarely works on its own. The previous broker dropped the price by $30,000, far more than most sellers will agree to, and the home still expired again. The reset that worked was not a deeper discount. It was a fresh listing at a defensible price with a clean DOM clock.

• A price drop on a stale listing is not the same as a fresh listing at a lower price
• Sun Prairie's median time on market is 15 days. A listing past day 30 is sending a signal, not waiting on the market
• The $400,000 to $500,000 band in Sun Prairie has 1.26 months of supply, extreme seller's market. There is no inventory excuse
• Pricing should anchor to the median and to truly recent comps, not last spring's expectations
