CT Real Estate Housing Market Report | November - December 2025




Key Insights for Buyers and Sellers

Burlington remains a seller-leaning market, though the winter slowdown is creating a more measured pace. Home values are holding strong with consistent appreciation, and demand remains steady for well-maintained, well-priced homes. Inventory is still limited, but buyers now have slightly more time to evaluate options and negotiate terms. Sellers continue to benefit from low supply, but success increasingly depends on accurate pricing, strong presentation, and responsiveness to market feedback.

Market Performance Overview

  • The average home value in Burlington is approximately $519,000, reflecting year-over-year growth of roughly 8–9%.

  • Recent median sale prices generally range from $480,000 to $625,000, depending on size, updates, and neighborhood desirability.

  • Homes are still selling near or slightly above list price, though premiums above asking are less consistent than earlier in 2025.

  • Days on market have increased modestly, with many homes taking 20–36 days to secure a contract, compared to faster movement in spring and summer.

Inventory & Market Conditions

  • Inventory remains low, with typically 30–40 active listings across town.

  • New listings continue to enter the market, but updated and well-located homes still attract quick attention.

  • Multiple-offer situations are still possible for standout homes, though competitive bidding is less intense than mid-year.

  • Homes requiring updates, with unconventional layouts, or priced above competing listings may see longer exposure and require adjustments.

Market Insights & Buyer/Seller Considerations

Buyers

  • Maintain readiness with financing and be prepared to move quickly when a strong listing appears.

  • Focus on homes that offer long-term value—condition, location, and functional layouts continue to influence pricing and demand.

  • Take advantage of the slower seasonal pace to conduct thorough inspections and comparisons without peak-season pressure.

Sellers

  • Pricing accuracy is essential; buyers are increasingly discerning as winter approaches.

  • Presentation matters — staging, decluttering, and professional photography help differentiate your home.

  • Listing before early-spring competition rises may provide greater exposure and stronger buyer engagement.

  • Adapt quickly to showing feedback to maintain momentum.

What This Means for You

Buyers: The winter season provides slightly more room for evaluation and negotiation, but strong homes still move quickly. Being prepared, focused, and decisive remains the best strategy for securing the right property.

Sellers: You continue to benefit from low inventory and solid demand. However, buyers are more cautious in winter, making pricing strategy and presentation critical to achieving strong results.
