Here's a quick look at the Madison area real estate market for the month of May. This preliminary market info is based on our snapshot taken on May 26th. We'll report on the full month of May once all of the final numbers are available in the month of June.

New MLS listings continue to enter the market at a slow pace. 

New single family home listings have been trending much lower since the end of March. Low supply has created a very competitive market for buyers this spring. 

Properties priced under $350,000 are very hot. 

As of May 26th, well over 50% of the single family homes priced under $350,000 are under contract and scheduled to close soon.
