CT Real Estate Housing Market Report | September - October 2025




Key Insights for Buyers and Sellers

The Farmington / Unionville market continues to lean toward sellers, but some characteristics are softening. Home values remain generally stable to rising, buyer demand is still healthy, and inventory remains limited—but the margin for error in pricing and condition is narrowing. The most competitive homes—those in strong locations and updated condition—still draw attention quickly. Buyers who are prepared and strategic have good opportunities; sellers who lean into presentation and clarity will benefit most.

Market Performance Overview

  • In Farmington, average home values are around $476,567, marking a year-over-year gain of about 2.7%.

  • Unionville’s median listing price in recent months has hovered near $449,900, showing some fluctuation year-over-year.

  • Many properties are still selling near or slightly above list price, but the premium above asking is trending downward in more competitive segments.

  • The time to contract has extended in many cases: homes that once went under agreement in a week may now take 10 to 20 days, depending on condition and price.

Inventory & Market Conditions

  • Inventory remains tight. In Farmington, there were about 65 active listings as of mid-year, with 42 new listings entering the cycle.

  • In Unionville, inventory is particularly scarce—some markets report fewer than 20 homes active at times.

  • The stronger listings—those in desirable neighborhoods or turnkey condition—continue to attract multiple offers.

  • Homes with older finishes, deferred maintenance, or less ideal configurations are beginning to linger longer than in prior months.

  • The gap between list price and sale price is narrowing, placing more emphasis on pricing accuracy and marketing effectiveness.

Market Insights & Buyer/Seller Considerations

Buyers

  • Be fully underwritten and ready to move quickly when the right property appears.

  • Target homes in strong condition, desirable zones, or with features that resonate broadly.

  • Offers that are clean, well-constructed, and responsive to feedback are more likely to succeed.

  • Use the slightly increased days on market to do careful due diligence—but act decisively when a property aligns with your goals.

Sellers

  • Precision in pricing is more critical than ever—starting too high may reduce traction.

  • Invest in staging, photography, and marketing to help your property stand out.

  • Consider listing timing carefully—early fall often captures buyers before seasonal slowdowns deepen.

  • Be responsive to early buyer feedback and adjust strategy quickly if offers lag.

What This Means for You

Bottom Line

The Farmington / Unionville market remains active and favorable for sellers, with modest value growth and tight supply.
