My REAL April 2025 Newsletter! Connecticut Real Estate Market Update

Spring has officially sprung in Connecticut! The daffodils are popping, the ice cream trucks are back (finally), and the real estate market? Oh, it's just as wild as the pollen count.

Whether you're buying, selling, or just casually stalking Zillow listings with your morning coffee, you’ll want to keep an eye on these sizzling spring stats from Milford, Norwalk, and New Haven.

🏡 Milford: The Secret’s Out

If Milford were a stock, now would be the time to invest. Why?

• Median List Price: $525,000

• Closed Deals: Up 17% from last year

• Median Days on Market: Homes are flying off shelves 38 days faster than in 2024

• Home Values: Up $4/SqFt year over year

• Sale-to-List Ratio: Down 1%, meaning there’s still a bit of breathing room for buyers

Translation? Milford is hot—but not too hot. Sellers are smiling, and buyers can still catch a fair deal (if they're quick!). With its charming shoreline and small-town vibes, Milford remains a favorite for everyone from first-time buyers to investors.

🌇 Norwalk: A Seller's Playground

Over in Norwalk, it's less “spring cleaning” and more “spring competing.”

• Median Sold Price: $602,000

• Sold-to-List Price: 105.1% — Yes, homes are selling above asking

• Median Days on Market: Just 22 days

• Months of Inventory: 1.61 — Sellers, it’s your time to shine

• Inventory Change: Slight uptick (+3.87%) = more options for eager buyers

In a nutshell: Norwalk is thriving. It's a fast-paced market with solid returns for sellers, and while the competition is stiff for buyers, the right agent (👋) can help you win the bidding war without breaking the bank.

🏙️ New Haven: Fast & Competitive

You might come to New Haven for the pizza, but you’ll stay for the real estate action.

• Median Sold Price: $315,000

• Sold-to-List Price: 100.5%

• Median Days on Market: Down to 29 days

• Inventory Supply: Just 1.85 months

• Inventory Change: Down a whopping -36.86% from last year

Buyers, bring your A-game and maybe a Yale degree to figure out how to act fast! The Elm City’s market is moving at lightning speed, and homes are selling slightly above asking. But with prices still lower than Milford and Norwalk, New Haven offers great value.

💡 Did You Know?

Waiving inspections might make your offer more competitive... but it could also cost you thousands later. Don’t let a leaky roof ruin your post-closing party. Always have a trusted inspector in your corner — even in a hot market.
