Big Picture: What's Driving Verona's Market?
Verona's market remains tight due to a perfect storm of factors: Epic Systems employment hub, excellent schools, new construction, and proximity to Madison. Even with 30-year mortgage rates hovering near the mid-6% range and expected to stay close to current levels into 2026, qualified buyers continue to compete for limited inventory.
Integrity Homes' view: With 1.67 months of supply and -6.8% price growth, Verona is still a seller-leaning market, but late-fall conditions are giving motivated buyers a bit more negotiating room and time to act. Sellers who list now face minimal competition, while buyers need to be pre-approved, decisive, and ready to compete on well-priced homes—especially in the $400,000–$499,999 range where supply is tightest.
