CT Real Estate Housing Market Report | September - October 2025




Key Insights for Buyers and Sellers

Avon continues its trajectory as a strong seller’s market, but the nuances are shifting. Home values remain elevated, demand is steady, and inventory is still constrained. However, the pace of sales is modering somewhat—giving buyers slightly more room to evaluate and giving sellers less margin for error in pricing and presentation. The most competitive properties (in prime locations, well-maintained) still attract attention quickly; rest-of-market homes may linger longer without strong positioning.

Market Performance Overview

  • The average home value in Avon is now estimated in the low $560,000s—a solid increase year over year (around +6 %).

  • In September 2025, Avon had about 97 total residential units listed, reflecting a modest bump in inventory compared with prior months.

  • The median price per square foot for single-family homes in September was ~$249.

  • Homes continue to sell above asking price in many cases—with a recent figure showing ~106 % of asking for many listings during September.

  • The typical days on market for single-family homes has stretched. A recent report shows 14 days on average in September, up markedly from prior months.

  • The ratio of sold price to list price remains strong but slightly compressed compared to peak months (i.e. margins over asking are not as steep).

Inventory & Market Conditions

  • Inventory is still limited, though September’s total units (97) represent growth in the pool of homes on the market.

  • New listings in September were also strong—Avon added 29 single-family home listings in that month alone.

  • Many quality homes are still being snapped up quickly, but properties that require updating, have odd layouts, or are priced aggressively are taking more time to sell.

  • Multiple-offer conditions remain common in the most desirable neighborhoods, though not as universal as earlier in the year.

  • As the market cools slightly, buyers may find more opportunity to negotiate on terms, contingencies, or small repair credits—especially on homes that aren’t perfectly turnkey.

Market Insights & Buyer/Seller Considerations

Buyers

  • Stay sharp with pre-approval and financing readiness.

  • Focus your search on well-located, well-maintained properties—those are still generating the most interest.

  • Use the slightly longer market times to inspect carefully, check comparables, and present offers that are clean and compelling.

Sellers

  • Pricing will matter more than ever. Overpricing now risks your home sitting.

  • Presentation and staging are critical to create speed and interest.

  • Consider listing timing: early fall remains a window before winter slowdown sets in.

  • Be ready to adjust quickly—if initial interest is limited, price downward or refresh marketing rather than letting momentum fade.

Popular Places to Visit in Avon

  • Talcott Mountain State Park & Heublein Tower — A scenic hike with panoramic views.

  • Farmington Valley Greenway — Walking and biking trail connecting through the region.

  • Avon Old Farms School Campus — Architecturally striking grounds and occasional public events.

  • Horse Guard State Park — Equestrian heritage, open trails, and scenic landscapes.

  • Avon Community Events & Fall Festivals — Seasonal fairs, arts & crafts shows, and outdoor town gatherings through autumn.

What This Means for You

Buyers: The market is a bit less frenzied, but you’ll still need decisiveness. Use the breathing room wisely—inspect thoroughly, strategize offers, and act when the right property emerges.
Sellers: You’re still in a strong position. But the margin for mistake is shrinking. Price accurately, present flawlessly, and be responsive to feedback and market shifts.

Bottom Line

Avon’s housing market remains competitive. Values continue to rise (~6 % year-over-year), but pace is moderating. Inventory saw a modest increase in September, and days on market have lengthened. The most compelling homes—well-located, well-maintained, expertly marketed—still command premium terms. Others need sharper pricing or improved staging to remain attractive. Sellers retain advantage, but buyers with preparation, clarity, and timing can still find opportunity in this fall window.
