As we dive into another year in Connecticut's real estate landscape, the data is painting a picture of continued growth, competition, and shifting dynamics in both New Haven and Fairfield Counties. At the ASJ Team, we're committed to staying ahead of the curve and guiding our clients through these evolving market conditions.
Year over year, we're witnessing a notable increase in the average and median sales prices across both counties. This trend underscores the enduring appeal of Connecticut's real estate market and reflects the ongoing demand for properties in the region. However, alongside this surge in prices, we're also observing a decrease in inventory compared to the previous year.
The scarcity of available homes has led to a decrease in closed sales in both New Haven and Fairfield Counties, declining by 14.23% and 4.98% respectively. Despite this decline, properties are selling at an accelerated pace, emphasizing the heightened competition among buyers. In New Haven County particularly, there's a significant decrease in median days on the market, highlighting the need for swift action in today's fast-paced environment. New Haven County saw a median days on market of 21 days this past January, and Fairfield County saw a median days on market of 36 days.
While Fairfield County's decrease in median days on the market is less pronounced (declining only 2.7% over January 2023), the overall market conditions indicate another year of fierce competition ahead. In such a dynamic landscape, it's crucial for buyers and sellers alike to partner with a real estate team that possesses both knowledge and experience.
