Don't give up on homeownership

Posted by Dan Miller, REALTOR on Tuesday, June 16th, 2026 at 6:09am.

You entered this year excited by your goal of becoming a homeowner, but you're still searching. Yes, you've toured a few homes that you absolutely loved, but the spring market has been so competitive. You did your best with your offers, but you just couldn't compete with so many other buyers writing offers on the same homes as you.

If you're feeling discouraged by the spring market, that's completely understandable. But we're here to tell you that the market is trending in your favor right now, and that your patience will pay off if you stay the course and remain committed to your search.

Reasons for optimism 

As we shared in our latest market update, inventory is growing and will continue to grow over the next several months. In fact, the supply of Madison area homes will nearly double from the early spring to the fall market.

Just as important, competition is decreasing and will continue to decrease for the remainder of the year. You will experience a much more favorable market if you stay the course with your search. 

At Mad City Dream Homes, we helped more than a dozen buyers achieve an accepted offer in May, by being patient and persistent until the right opportunity came along for each of them. If you want a team that stays committed to your homeownership goals, we'd love to work with you. Reach out and together we'll make a plan — one built around your timeline, your budget, and the neighborhood you've been dreaming about.
