Dane County condo supply
Only .6 months of supply and 100 units were available for sale as of January 8th. Inventory is tight in all price categories right now, especially in the $100,000 to $300,000 price range. A scarcity of supply is a huge reason why choosing the right buyer agent team is so important in this year's condominium market.
