What’s a Home Really Worth in Madison Right Now?

The typical home value in Madison is approximately $417,300, based on the Zillow Home Value Index for 2025. That’s roughly 2% growth over the past year, which is modest but steady. Homes are going pending in about 18 days, showing that well-priced properties are still moving quickly despite higher interest rates.

Online estimates like Zillow are a useful starting point, but they don’t see everything—condition, recent upgrades, micro-neighborhood trends, and specific school zones all influence true market value. Dane County’s typical value is closer to $453,500, so suburbs like Middleton, Verona, and Fitchburg often price higher than the city average.

If you’re planning a move, your best number is a data-driven CMA (comparative market analysis), not a single online estimate.Upgrades, location, and competition can push your number higher or lower.
