It's only Valentines Day but the market is already heating up, especially for some of the more affordably-priced properties in the Dane County area. For example, in the last week, one of our clients received 3 competing offers on their new listing, while another client received an amazing 13! Here's a quick look at the price points that are receiving the most interest from buyers in early 2020.
The hottest homes in the Madison area
Right now the hottest homes in the Madison area are those priced under $300,000. As you can see from the data below, well over 50% of these more affordably-priced listings are under contract with an accepted offer. If you think of this another way, it's like browsing for properties on a website like Zillow and realizing that over 50% of the of the properties you see are already scheduled to close with another buyer. This is why it's so important to work with a skilled buyer agent in a fast-moving market. The right buyer agent has the tools and expertise you need to compete against other buyers and successfully purchase your dream home.
The hottest condos in the Madison area
In the local condo market, the under $300,000 properties are also selling very quickly. The data for condos is very similar to the data for single family homes above.
