Strong Economy And Moderate Affordability

Madison is an economic powerhouse that is a vital component of Wisconsin’s economy. It has a strong job market that provides a diverse array of job opportunities, and several major industries thrive there. For starters, Madison is the state capital and the home of Wisconsin’s biggest university, therefore, government, research, and education opportunities are plentiful. Additionally, the city’s economy has developed significantly and includes huge technology, medical, insurance, and manufacturing industries. Zendesk, Alliant Energy, Sub-Zero & Wolf Appliances, and Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals are just a few companies that have headquarters or major offices in the city.

While Madison’s economy is strong, the real estate market in the city hasn’t slipped into unaffordability yet. According to Redfin, the median sales price for a home in Madison was just over $370,000 in March 2023. While this is more than many areas in Wisconsin, it is less than the national average, and considering the city’s strong job market, Madison is a mostly affordable place to reside.
