Less than ideal early spring weather and a smaller than usual number of new listings appears to have had a chilling effect on the April market. Sales of single family and condominium homes in Dane County were down 9% compared to one year ago. Through the first 4 months of 2019, sales trail the prior year by 7.2% but are only 2.6% behind 2017. The year-to date drop is being shared relatively equally between single family homes (down 7.3%) and condominium homes (down 8.4%). Throughout the 16 county region* served by the SCWMLS, the results through April are 9.5% behind 2018. Crawford County is the sole market to report an increase over last year.
