A report from Stark Company Realtors showed that Dane County’s housing market last year had its “first meaningful increase” in available homes since the COVID-19 pandemic, though prices escalated more than anticipated, according to WisBusiness. The report evaluated regional market trends for the winter season and all of 2024.

By year’s end, Dane County reportedly had 605 homes on the market — up 30.7%. Most of the added inventory was condos, which increased 106% over the year to 163, while single-family homes rose 15% to 442. Fifty-three percent of single-family homes and 40% of condos on the market were new construction as of early January. 

Overall, sales in Dane County rose just over 7% for the year, and median prices increased 7.34%. Most of the price growth was made up by single-family homes, up 9.2% for the year, while condo prices rose 2.8%.
