County Highlights
New Haven County led inventory growth with a +35 increase to 1,223 active listings and a median price of $429,900. Fairfield County remains the highest-priced market at a $799,000 median, adding 13 listings to reach 1,545 active. Hartford County saw a modest +11 rise to 862 active listings with a more affordable $449,900 median.
On the quieter side, New London County was one of the few to see inventory decline (-11 to 461 active), while Windham County dropped -16 to just 172 active listings. Litchfield County continues to show longer market times (71.3 days average) with a $645,000 median, reflecting its more rural character.
What Stood Out
- New Haven County towns were particularly active among movers: Meriden added 12 listings (now 58 active) and West Haven gained 9 (now 60 active).
- Several Hartford County towns saw notable inventory drops, including Windsor (-11 to 21 active) and East Hartford (-11 to 31 active), while Avon also declined by 10.
- Price distribution remains concentrated below $1M, with 2,381 active listings under $500K and 1,772 between $500K–$1M — together making up the clear majority of supply.
Why This Matters
For buyers, this week’s increase in active listings — especially the jump in New Haven and continued strength in Fairfield — offers more options without dramatic price shifts. The median list price holding near $500K and average days on market around 52 suggest opportunities to negotiate, particularly in towns seeing inventory growth like Meriden and Norwalk.
Sellers in lower-inventory counties such as New London and Windham may benefit from reduced competition and faster absorption. However, properties priced above $1M (981 active listings statewide) continue to face a thinner buyer pool and longer marketing periods on average.
Relocators should watch Hartford and New Haven for the most movement in both supply and pending contracts, while coastal and rural areas like Litchfield and New London offer different pacing and price points.
Bottom line: Inventory is inching upward across much of Connecticut, giving buyers more breathing room while sellers in tight pockets still hold an edge.
