HOT TIPS

Required for Record Changes

RASCW/SCWMLS will only process record changes when the Agent Change of Information form has been submitted.

We have recently seen an increase in fraudulent and unauthorized change requests. As an added security measure, requests made by phone or email alone will not be processed.

Submitting the Agent Change of Information form helps us verify requests, maintain accurate records, and ensure the security of member information.

The Agent Change of Information Form needs to be returned to member@wisre.com.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we continue to prioritize data security.

COMMUNITY PSA

YOU ASKED, WE ANSWERED

Q: I just made a subject property. How do I convert it to a live listing?

A: If you have administrative access to the Paragon system, you can convert your Subject Property to an Active or Delayed MLS listing. NOTE: The “Add Listing” function (under the Listings menu in Paragon) should be used to add listings in all other statuses.

1. Select CMA from the menu bar in Paragon
2. Select Maintain Subject Properties
3. Locate correct listing – click on “Select an Action”
4. Select “Maintain Subject Property”
5. Review the information. Click the Convert button at top of screen (if you SAVE – you still have a subject property). If there are errors you will be prompted to correct them. 
6. Click the Convert Button again after corrections.
7. A box will come up and you will be prompted to enter status, listing date & expiration date.
8. Click SAVE and the listing will be saved with a 7-digit MLS number

If you do not have Admin-REALTOR® level access or above, you will not be able to perform this action. Connect with your broker or admin for assistance.

YOUR Monthly MARKET DATA

What Does This Mean for You?

18-County Region:

Active inventory in May 2026 reached 2,618, an increase of 343 listings (15.1%) compared to May 2025, when inventory stood at 2,275. This marks a notable year-over-year gain, reflecting a continued expansion in available listings across the region. Compared to April 2026, inventory rose by 318 listings (13.8%) from 2,300. The month-over-month increase suggests a strong seasonal ramp-up, with more sellers entering the market and contributing to improved supply conditions heading into the summer months.

Dane County:

In Dane County, active inventory climbed to 956 listings in May 2026, up 93 listings (10.8%) from 863 in May 2025. This steady year-over-year growth indicates a modest but meaningful improvement in housing availability compared to last spring. Month-over-month, inventory increased by 155 listings (19.4%) from April 2026, which had 801 active listings. This sharp rise reflects typical seasonal trends, with a significant influx of new listings helping to ease some of the inventory constraints seen earlier in the year.
