We’re grateful for our Director of Agent Development, Matt Doyle, at our brokerage; he’s always providing insightful, synthesized statistics. Here’s the latest regarding final sale prices – by price range – for single-family properties that received accepted offers between September 1st and November 7th in Dane County.

Homes that were listed...

  • Between $200,000-$399,999 sold for an average of .5% under list price.
  • Between $400,000-$599,999 sold for an average of .9% under list price.
  • Between $600,000-$999,999 sold for an average of .9% under list price.
  • At $1 million and above sold for an average of 1.1% under list price.

The takeaway? Home values in Dane County continue to grow, but sellers would be wise to price a home for the seasonality of their sale, and work with a real estate agent who will go the extra mile to ensure their listing is a success. A home listed in the spring will have a different strategy than a home listed in the fall. As the market balances, these seasonal differences are becoming more pronounced, and a good agent will help guide you through them.
