CT Statewide MLS Comprehensive Sales Statistics by County

The Connecticut real estate market has been unquestionably challenging over the last year, and longer. For many of our members, questions remain; how has the market changed? How much? When will it end? While I cannot answer when it will end, what I can do is provide you with the information to let you know what the market is doing in your county.

Reflected in these reports are: Single Family Home Sales by County; Average vs. Median Sale Price by Year; Number Sold by Month; Median Sale Price by Quarter (condo and SFH); Median List Price vs. Median Sale Price by Quarter; Average Days on Market by Year; Average Days on Market by Month; Condo Sales by County; and List Price vs. Sale Price by Quarter (condo). These are comprehensive reports that reflect the sales statistics as reported to the MLS and through public records (in the case of Fairfield County data). As is the case with all MLS data, these stats are reliable, but not guaranteed.
