Homeowners in Dane County named in a foreclosure filing who still hold the deed. This is the window before the auction, while an equity sale is still on the table. Owner and property data from public records.

What makes the Dane County market different
- Housing in Dane County is tight: only 4% of units are vacant, against 10% nationally. Low vacancy usually means a renovated house finds a buyer or a tenant quickly.
- Only 32% of owner-occupied homes in Dane County are owned free and clear (U.S.: 39%). More owners carry a loan, so check the estimated equity on each lead before you make an offer.
- Only 51% of homes in Dane County are single-family detached houses (U.S.: 61%). Apartments, attached homes and mobile homes make up more of the housing, so check the property type before you value a deal.
- HUD sets the fair market rent for a 3-bedroom home for the Madison, WI area at $2,047 a month, against a median home value of $366K in Dane County. Set those two side by side to judge whether a buy-and-hold rental pencils out before you make an offer.
- Permits were issued for 6,629 new housing units in Dane County in 2025, up 21% from 2024. Rising construction is a sign of demand for housing here.
