County Highlights
Fairfield County continues to dominate with 1,498 active listings and the highest median price at $799,900. Despite the volume, average days on market remains relatively brisk at 47.0, suggesting strong demand in this high-end market. New Haven County follows with 1,224 active homes and a more accessible $429,950 median, moving at 46.2 days on market.
Hartford County shows 801 active listings at a $429,500 median, while Litchfield County’s 485 listings carry a higher $649,900 median and the longest average days on market at 70.4 — indicating more selectivity among buyers in this rural/suburban region. Smaller counties like Tolland (186 active) and Windham (176 active) posted the fastest paces at 43.8 and 40.0 days on market respectively.
What Stood Out
- More than 2,365 active listings (46% of inventory) sit under $500K, creating the broadest selection for first-time and move-up buyers in recent memory.
- The $500K–$1M segment holds 1,700 listings, while luxury properties ($1M+) total 1,061 — showing balanced depth across price tiers.
- Under-agreement volume of 3,240 signals healthy buyer engagement despite rising supply, though longer DOM in Litchfield suggests some pricing adjustments may be needed there.
Why This Matters
For buyers, this week’s surge in new listings — particularly under $500K — opens more options and potential negotiating room, especially in New Haven and Hartford counties where prices remain below the statewide median. Relocators targeting Fairfield should expect competition at the high end but more breathing room than in previous tight cycles.
Sellers benefit from the continued pace of properties going under agreement, but the jump in active inventory means staging, pricing, and condition matter more than ever. Homes in Tolland and Windham are moving fastest, while properties in Litchfield may need realistic expectations around longer market times.
Overall, the market is transitioning toward greater balance. Buyers have more choices without a dramatic slowdown in sales velocity, while motivated sellers who price competitively are still finding success.
Bottom line: Inventory is rising quickly, giving buyers more leverage while rewarding well-prepared sellers.
