CT Real Estate Housing Market Report | November - December 2025




Key Insights for Buyers and Sellers

The Farmington/Unionville market continues to favor sellers, but the winter season is bringing a more balanced feel. Home values remain strong, demand is steady, and inventory is still limited. However, buyers are gaining slightly more room to negotiate as activity slows from the peak months. Sellers still hold an advantage — especially those who price accurately and present their homes well — while buyers benefit from a calmer pace and improved ability to evaluate options before making offers.

Market Performance Overview

  • The typical home value in Farmington is approximately $476,500, showing modest year-over-year appreciation.

  • Median sale prices across Farmington and Unionville range from $430,000 to $575,000, depending on neighborhood, size, condition, and updates.

  • Homes continue to sell close to asking price, though premiums above list are less common than in early to mid-2025.

  • Average days on market are increasing slightly, with many homes taking 10–20 days to go under contract — longer for homes needing updates or priced above market norms.

Inventory & Market Conditions

  • Inventory remains constrained, with an estimated 50–70 active listings across Farmington and Unionville combined.

  • Updated, move-in-ready properties still attract strong buyer interest and may sell quickly even in winter conditions.

  • Multiple-offer situations are possible in highly desirable neighborhoods, though not as prevalent as during peak demand periods.

  • Homes priced too aggressively or requiring significant updates often see extended days on market and may require adjustments to gain traction.

Market Insights & Buyer/Seller Considerations

Buyers

  • Solid financing and clear priorities remain essential to act decisively.

  • Focus on homes with strong fundamentals — location, updates, layout, and long-term value.

  • The slower seasonal pace provides more opportunity for thorough inspections, negotiations, and market comparisons.

  • Be ready to act quickly when a competitively priced, well-maintained home hits the market.

Sellers

  • Accurate, competitive pricing is key as buyers become more selective heading into winter.

  • Presentation matters: staging, curb appeal, and quality photography significantly impact interest.

  • Listing before early-spring competition increases your chances of capturing motivated year-end buyers.

  • Remain flexible and responsive to market feedback and adjust strategy promptly if needed.

What This Means for You

Buyers: The pace is more balanced, giving you additional space to assess listings while still needing readiness for strong homes. Negotiation opportunities are slightly improved, especially for homes needing updates or priced above market expectations.

Sellers: While you remain in a strong market position, succeeding now requires precision in pricing and standout presentation. Updated, well-prepared homes continue to capture the most attention and the strongest offers.
