First the basic metro layout of Madison real estate: Madison geographically has an East and West side, separated by the Isthmus where the Capitol, the University and the Downtown areas are located. On either side of the Isthmus are Madison’s two dominant lakes, Lake Mendota to the Northwest and the smaller Lake Monona to the Southeast. All three areas, West, Isthmus and East have their own distinct charm and offer you a wide variety of Madison real estate including Madison homes, condos and building sites. Of course building sites are fewer on the Isthmus, but yes they do exist!

Madison Homes for you: The Madison Real Estate Market

Why is the real estate market for Madison homes so resilient? First of all, a large reason is the steady stream of professionals relocating and buying Madison properties and regional real estate. The second reason was the restrained approach to financing. Fixed mortgages on Madison real estate greatly outnumber adjustable mortgages. This stabilized both the buying and selling sides, because fewer under-qualified borrowers purchased home in Madison. Our Madison real estate market did not see the huge price swings that were common in many urban areas. We did not experience the huge “boom and bust” real estate cycles. Rather, the market for Madison homes has progressed at a slow and steady pace. Madison houses are available in styles and prices to meet the needs of any lifestyle. And, Madison properties are a great investment.

Custom Homes and New Construction add to the Madison Real Estate PictureNew Construction of Madison Properties

If you are looking at new construction, take note of several new projects that are being developed by a construction company called Veridian Homes. Our clients have reported that this builder is easy to work with. Veridian Homes is known for quality-built, mid-range Madison properties, like the homes in the Veridian-built subdivision of Ice Age Falls.

On the upper end of the Madison real estate price spectrum, Michael F. Simon builds quality custom Madison homes with emphasis on architectural appeal and craftsmanship. Because Michael F. Simon builds green custom homes, the building process includes a comprehensive checklist of the highest energy and building standards as established by Green Built Home™ and Energy Star™.

Madison Luxury Houses

If you are looking for luxury Madison real estate, consider purchasing a lakeshore home, where much of the real estate value is in the lot itself. Some savvy buyers are buying lake real estate on Monona and Mendota for about 500K, and replacing the existing houses with multi-million dollar homes.

Another popular option for executive Madison properties are golf course homes. Since Madison is all about having fun, a golf course home in Bishop’s Bay, or on the Blackhawk Country Club in Shorewood Hills might be just right for you.
