The five highest-priced home sales reported in the Madison, Wisconsin metro area for the week ending October 4, 2026, came to a combined $7.67 million. All five were single-family homes in Dane County, two in Middleton, two in Waunakee and one in Madison itself.
The group ranges widely in age and setting. The oldest was built in 1961 and the newest in 2021, and the list runs from a compact home on the water to a country property with wooded acreage. The third- and fourth-ranked sales closed at the same price.
No. 1 — $1,838,000 · 2800 Tomahawk Ct, Middleton, Wisconsin
The week’s top sale is a home on the shore of Lake Mendota, on a cul-de-sac in Middleton. It sold for $1,838,000. Built in 1987, the contemporary home has a stucco and fiber cement exterior, and large windows look out over the lake and bring daylight deep into the rooms.
At 2,648 square feet on a 6,534-square-foot lot, it is the smallest of the five homes, and it sits on the smallest lot. The space is put to good use. A great room with a vaulted ceiling rises two stories, and white oak floors run through the home. The kitchen has been updated with a Wolf range, a walnut island and marble countertops, along with a walk-in pantry. The home has four bedrooms and three bathrooms, and the primary suite includes an updated bath and a loft area. Outside, a Trex deck and a pier sit on a lake used for water skiing, and the Pheasant Branch Conservancy is a short walk away. A detached two-car garage is climate controlled. The property last sold for $775,000 in 2016.
