Fitchburg Housing Market Update: Fall 2026
Fitchburg has quietly become one of the most interesting housing markets in Dane County. Through the first nine months of 2026, 268 homes and condos closed in the city at a combined median price of $485,000. But the headline number hides the real story: Fitchburg is running two very different markets side by side. Existing homes are still selling fast and drawing multiple offers, while a wave of new construction is giving buyers more choice than they've had in years.
Here is what the data shows and what it means if you're thinking about buying or selling in Fitchburg this fall.
Fitchburg Market Snapshot
Single-family homes led the way with 189 closed sales at a median price of $520,000 and an average of $560,045, or $244 per finished square foot. The median home sold in just 11 days, 56% went under contract within two weeks, and 28% of sales involved competing written offers. Today there are 53 single-family homes on the market a ...

Priced Right vs. Priced Wrong: Dane County's Two Housing Markets
There are two housing markets in Dane County right now, and the only thing separating them is price. In one, homes sell in about a week and buyers compete for them. In the other, homes sit for months while sellers wait for offers that don't come. The latest data from the South Central Wisconsin MLS shows just how wide that gap has become.
Start with the homes that sold. Over the past 60 days, 1,024 single-family homes closed across Dane County at a median price of $502,750. The median home went under contract in just 8 days. Nearly half sold within a week, and 60% were gone within two weeks. One in four sales drew competing written offers. With only about 1.8 months of supply on the market, demand for well-priced homes remains strong.
Now look at what's still for sale. Of the 937 single-family homes currently listed in Dane County, the median has been on the market for 49 days. More than 4 in 10 have been sit. ...

The Dane County housing market is not doomed, it is normalizing, and the numbers tell a clear story of a market shifting from frantic to balanced.
What the end of 2025 looked like
Late last year the market was still running hot. From September through December 2025, 1,627 single-family homes sold across Dane County at a median price of $478,000. Sellers pulled in 98.85% of their asking price on average, and the typical home went under contract in just 15 days. Condos followed suit, with 407 closings at 99.1% of list price and a 16-day median. Price a property right and it moved fast and near full ask.
What active listings look like now
The pace has changed. As of September 2026, Dane County has 1,278 active single-family listings at a median asking price of $539,900, sitting a median of 46 days on market with the average closer to 67 days. The condo market has cooled even more. There are now 453 active condos on the market at a median ask around $334 ...
