The Connecticut Real Estate Market — What's Actually Happening

The Connecticut real estate market, honestly assessed. No alarm, no euphoria. What the data says and what it means for buyers and sellers today. ## Current Conditions Overview Fairfield County operates with chronically low inventory in most desirable towns. Median days on market in Westport, Darien, and New Canaan has been running under 20-30 days in recent periods. Well-priced properties in these towns frequently receive multiple offers. Above $2.5M, inventory is more adequate and competition is less intense. Below $700K — a narrow segment of the market — competition is intense for a different reason: there is almost nothing available. ## Fairfield County by Town | Town | Median Price | DOM | List-to-Sale | |------|-------------|-----|-------------| | Greenwich | Highest in FC | ~45-60 | ~96% | | Darien | ~$1.7M | ~20-30 | ~98% | | New Canaan | ~$1.8M | ~25-35 | ~97% | | Westport | ~$2M+ | ~20-30 | ~98% | | Ridgefield | ~$900K | ~30-40 | ~97% | *Data sourced from SmartMLS. Current figures vary — contact Sean for the latest numbers.* ## The Honest Market Read For buyers: The buyer who has done the town selection work in advance, has financing in order, and can move quickly when the right property appears is the buyer who succeeds. Being pre-approved — with a full commitment letter, not just a pre-qualification — is not optional. For sellers: A well-priced, well-prepared property in the primary Fairfield County markets moves. The market does not do the work for an overpriced listing. Price correctly, prepare the home to show its genuine best, and launch at the right time of year. ## Monthly Reports Archive Monthly market reports are published at /witnessed/market/ and provide the most current data for each primary town. The data table above is updated monthly when each new report publishes.
