As Connecticut’s real estate landscape shifts, I’m seeing more buyers discover greater opportunity in New Haven County. Through early Q3, seven of the top 20 listing increases statewide were right here, offering a welcome breath of fresh air for those feeling the squeeze in Fairfield County. In Hamden alone, approximately 90 more homes hit the market this year, giving buyers a chance to find the right fit while easing some of the upward pressure on prices.
With Wilton’s early Q3 closings averaging about 10% above asking, it’s clear that families prioritizing schools are beginning to look east for similar homes at more approachable price points. Towns like Stratford saw new listings snapped up quickly, while buyers expanded their search into places like Oxford, Plymouth, Stafford, and Lebanon to maximize value.
At the same time, other areas—Farmington, Middletown, Southington, Westport, and Southbury—saw fewer listings, and Litchfield County buyers found larger discounts. My approach is always centered on helping you navigate these shifts with honest communication, strategic advice, and a commitment to protecting your interests every step of the way. Whether you’re searching for more options, better value, or simply the right place to call home, I’m here to help you make informed and confident decisions in this evolving market.
