Why are there lots for sale that are marketed as a condominium? Recently Dane County has seen quite a few lots developed as condominium plats instead of a traditional plat or CSM, most likely to avoid the ETJ (Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction) of neighboring municipalities. Wisconsin law (62.i.23.7) allows for cities and villages to control the zoning outside of their boundaries to preserve the future growth patterns. Cities in Dane County generally don’t want rural subdivisions to develop in their ETJ because it will be more difficult to annex land into the cities in the future. A condominium plat is not subject to the same ETJ review as a standard plat, which means that rural subdivisions may be permissible as a condominium (depending on the township) where a regular plat may not.
Comparing Sales from Q1 2022 to Q1 2023
Single Family Home sales were down 42% from Q1 2022. In Q1 2023, there were four sales at Cathedral Point in the City of Verona (constructed 2016-2019), 13 sales at Crescent Crossing in the City of Fitchburg (constructed 2022 or newer) and nine sales at Woods at Cathedral Point in The City of Verona (constructed 2022 or newer).
