CT Real Estate Housing Market Report | July - August 2025




Key Insights for Buyers and Sellers

Farmington remains solidly in seller-market territory, with rising home values, swift sales, and continued buyer interest. While July indicated momentum, early August figures suggest a slight stabilization. Sellers still hold an advantage; buyers win when they're prepared and proactive.

Market Performance Overview

  • July 2025: Median sold price was approximately $540,000, with properties spending an average of 11 days on the market. Sale-to-list ratios stayed strong as demand remained high. Active listings numbered around 66, with 9 new listings added.

  • August 2025 (early): The average home value stands near $476,600, reflecting a 2.7% annual appreciation. Homes are going pending in about 6 days, and inventory remains lean at around 65 active listings.
    These trends show that while the market remains competitive, there’s a hint of leveling emerging.

Inventory & Market Conditions

Listings remain limited—mid-summer inventory hovered between 65 to 70 homes. Though buyers are still active, heightened supply and slightly slower turnover may give them a bit more room to strategize.

Market Insights & Buyer/Seller Considerations

Buyers: A strong pre-approval and readiness to move quickly remain vital. Offers that are clean and strategically timed are most effective in this market.
Sellers: Home readiness—from thoughtful staging to accurate pricing—continues to be paramount. Pricing within market norms ensures sustained buyer interest and keeps transaction timelines short.
