Dane County Housing Market Update: June 2026
Dane County's housing market posted strong numbers in June, with 821 single family, condo, and multi-family homes closing across the county, up from 712 sales in June 2025, a 15.3% increase in closed transactions year over year. The average sale price climbed to $569,509, up 4.8% from $543,580 last June, while the median sale price landed at $499,900.

Dane County Real Estate Market Update: New Listings
Dane County's housing market stayed active this week, with 257 new listings hitting the market in the last seven days. Single-family homes made up the bulk of new inventory at 187 listings, followed by 53 condos and 17 multi-family properties. Of those 257 listings, 22 are already showing as under contract (Offer-Show status) just days after going live, a clear sign that well-priced homes in Dane County are still moving fast. Single-family homes accounted for the majority of that quick activity, with 20 of the 22 going under contract, alongside 2 condos.
On the single-family side, an average of $587,028 reflecting some high-end properties pulling the number up (prices ranged from $199,000 up to $2,995,000). The typical new single-family listing runs about 2,068 finished square feet, 3 bedrooms, and 2.5 baths, with a median price of roughly $253 per square foot.

Have a down payment saved but can't get approved for a traditional mortgage? You're not out of options. Buyers across Dane County, Madison, and South Central Wisconsin are turning to a different kind of home financing when banks say no, one built around real income and assets instead of a credit score. If you've already been denied by a lender, or your situation just doesn't fit the traditional mortgage box, this program was built for you.
This isn't a conventional mortgage, and it doesn't underwrite you like one. Credit isn't a factor in approval. We use a soft credit pull simply to understand your story, not to score you out of a home. Documentation is limited to income and assets, gift funds are accepted toward your down payment, and there's no need to source every dollar sitting in your account. Most buyers in Wisconsin qualify with 15–20% down, with 10% available by exception, and closings can happen in as little as 14 days, far faster than a typical mortgage timeline.
