What's Pushing Prices Up in Verona

The single biggest force on Verona pricing right now is supply. With 1.57 months of inventory (43 active listings against a 12-month sales pace) and a median DOM of 7 days, well-priced homes are getting attention quickly. New listings YTD are running +3.6% versus last year — modestly above last year's pace — and pendings are absorbing the inflow.

Verona's appeal is durable: home of epic systems — a fast-growing community southwest of madison with strong employer demand, a top-rated school district, and one of the tightest markets in dane county. That demand profile doesn't change quickly, and it's the long-running engine behind the pricing strength you see in the data.

What's Keeping Prices From Rising Faster

The April closed median came in -4.6% versus a year ago. That's not the start of a price decline — it's the mix of homes that closed in a single month. The YTD median ($500,000, +3.1% YoY) is a cleaner read on the trend.

Average % over asking is running at 0.42% YTD — roughly at list, not above. That's the affordability ceiling showing up in the data: buyers will close at fair list pricing, but they push back on aspirational pricing. For sellers, that means anchoring to comp sets in the same price bracket (not last year's peak) is where the offers come from.
