The five highest-priced home sales reported in the Madison metro area for the week ending October 18, 2026, added up to $6 million. All five were in Dane County: two in Verona and one each in Madison, Stoughton and Monona. The group takes in three single-family homes and two condominiums, and it spans more than eight decades of building, from a home completed in 1937 to one finished in 2019.
No. 1 — $2,030,000 · 3176 Woodhill Cir, Verona, Wisconsin
The top sale of the week was a contemporary home in The Woods at Watch Hill in Verona, which sold for $2,030,000. Built in 2019 by RT Thomas, it sits on a cul-de-sac on 2.03 wooded acres, and its design sets broad expanses of glass against reclaimed timber and natural stone. Inside, an open staircase of steel and glass is the centerpiece. The property last sold for $1.9 million in 2022.
With 5,245 square feet, it is the largest of the five homes. It has four bedrooms, three full baths and a half bath, along with a great room, vaulted and beamed ceilings, and two gas fireplaces. The kitchen is fitted with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances and has two islands that together seat as many as 10, plus a large walk-in pantry with its own cabinets and counter space. The primary suite has a fireplace of its own and a wall of windows that looks out on the woods and the wildlife there.
Beyond the main rooms, the home includes a den, a game room, a mud room and a bonus room above the attached three-car garage. A climate-controlled wine cellar is part of the living space, and the full lower level is finished, with full-size windows and a walkout. The setting is a few minutes by car from Verona, Madison and Middleton.
The home went under contract two days after it was listed and sold for $30,000 above its $2 million asking price. Wanda Roche of Compass Real Estate Wisconsin was the listing agent, and Eric Hansen of Real Broker LLC represented the buyer.

No. 2 — $1,386,000 · 4110 Manitou Way, Madison, Wisconsin
In the Nakoma neighborhood of Madison, a Colonial built in 1937 sold for $1,386,000. Finished in brick and wood siding, it is the oldest of the five homes, and it stands across from the golf course on a quarter-acre lot, with sidewalks and public transit nearby.
The living room has a gas fireplace, and a bright den is lined with built-in bookshelves. The family room, the dining room and the kitchen all look out on the backyard, a private garden of perennials under a canopy of mature trees. The kitchen is one of two additions linked by a newer deck; it has Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances and a large island, and the breakfast room beside it is wrapped in windows and custom built-ins.
The home has four bedrooms, two full baths and a half bath in 3,003 square feet, and two fireplaces, one wood-burning and one gas. The bedrooms and both full baths are on the upper floor, where a walk-up attic adds storage. There is also a mud room with a Dutch door, a rec room, a partially finished basement and an attached one-car garage.
Listed by Mary Duff of Stark Company, REALTORS, the home went under contract 30 days after it came on the market and sold for $66,000 above its $1.32 million asking price. Caleb Payne of Madcityhomes.Com represented the buyer.

No. 3 — $880,000 · 1828 Lake View Ter, Stoughton, Wisconsin
A ranch home in Kegonsa Manor in Stoughton sold for $880,000. Built in 2001 on a cul-de-sac, it sits on 0.80 acres with partial views of the lake. The property last sold for $426,500 in 2019, and a remodel of the entire home followed in 2019 and 2020.
That work brought custom maple cabinetry made by Amish craftsmen, quartz countertops, new flooring, a custom tiled shower and a heated floor in the main bath. Gas fireplaces with stone surrounds warm both levels. The single-story home has 3,836 square feet, four bedrooms and three full baths, with vaulted ceilings, a wet bar, an exercise room and a finished lower level that walks out to the yard.
Much of the home’s appeal is outdoors. A screened porch measuring 12 by 20 feet opens onto its own grilling deck, and there is also a patio and a custom fire pit. Chain-link fencing runs about 500 feet around the perimeter, and electrical service is already in place for a hot tub or pool. The attached garage has room for three cars.
Ferraro Real Estate Team of EXP Realty, LLC was the listing agent, and Tom Matson of Matson Real Estate, INC represented the buyer.

The condominium has three bedrooms, two full baths and 2,142 square feet. Its corner position gives it windows on more than one side and vaulted ceilings.
