DANE COUNTY MARKET
Menu
Here is everything you need to know about the Dane County market in August.
What is happening with the Dane County market? Things are changing in our local real estate, and we have the latest data for you here today.
In our entire market, we’ve seen sales decrease for the seventh consecutive month by 6%. In Dane County specifically, we’re down by 7%. This has helped to stabilize prices in the county, which are holding steady at just below $400,000. That’s 12.6% higher than it was in 2021. Year to date, the average price is $428,488—an increase of 10.2%.
While these prices have been decreasing, inventory is still a pressure point. Over the last year, inventory has decreased. In Dane County alone, we’ve seen a decrease of 25% in new listings from August 2021 to now. From January 2021 through today, available inventory has decreased more than 11%. We’re seeing a low availability of only about a month of inventory across Dane County. In contrast, we’d expect to see about six months of available inventory in a balanced market. This implies that we are still in a great seller’s market.
Interest rates have also been increasing.* Today, we’re sitting at 6.875% for a 30-year fixed mortgage—quite high compared to our previous rates of just under 3%.
The average number of days on the market was about 15 instead of the 14 days in August 2021. We think this trend will continue, with properties staying on the market longer.
Thinking about buying or selling and need my help? Please don’t hesitate to give me a call or email. I’d be happy to answer any questions.
* Note: Interest rates have subsided to 6.5%. Interest rates are volatile and since shooting we have seen a slight decrease.

Welcome to our home at 8861 Sunstone Lane in Middleton, WI!
8861 Sunstone Lane, Middleton
We bought this house not only as our first home but as a place to start our lives together in Madison. We had been renting for several years but knew we wanted to make the Madison area home so we began looking for houses where we could start our family. It was important to us to find a home that 
was in a good neighborhood with access to good schools, parks, restaurants, etc.
When our Realtor® brought us to Hidden Oaks we knew we had found what we were looking for. The moment we walked into our house, we knew we were home. It was the right size for us with an open layout on the main floor, all the bedrooms on the upper floor, master on suite, and it was a new construction on a corner lot.
After living in our home for almost seven years now, we have grown to love it even more. We added a stamped concrete patio off the dining room to add some outside entertaining space. We added 
a small garden area to the south side of the house to grow some seasonal vegetables for summer cookouts. We also love the carriage lane behind the house which turned out to be a great place to hang out with our neighbors and was even home to the neighborhood block party for a few years.
Now that we have one child, and another on the way, we love having the park and the bike/walking paths in the neighborhood as well. It’s a great way to get outside and have some fun without having to pack 
everything up in the car and head somewhere.
This is a wonderful home and we know you’ll love and enjoy it as much as we have.
