CT Real Estate Housing Market Report | November - December 2025




Key Insights for Buyers and Sellers

Goshen continues to maintain a steady, moderately competitive housing market heading into the winter months. Demand remains solid, particularly for homes offering acreage, privacy, and scenic surroundings — features Goshen is well known for. While the market is still seller-leaning, activity has slowed from earlier in 2025, giving buyers slightly more negotiation power and more time for decision-making. Sellers remain in a favorable position due to limited inventory, but accurate pricing and strong presentation are increasingly essential during the winter season.

Market Performance Overview

  • The average home value in Goshen is approximately $515,000, reflecting year-over-year appreciation of around 5–6%.

  • Recent median sale prices typically range from $475,000 to $590,000, depending on acreage, home size, and level of updates.

  • Homes continue to sell near asking price, although bidding premiums above list have diminished compared to the spring and summer markets.

  • Days on market have increased modestly, with many homes taking 22–40 days to go under contract.

Inventory & Market Conditions

  • Inventory remains low, with typically 15–25 active listings across the Goshen market.

  • Homes offering land, updated interiors, lake proximity, or scenic views tend to attract quicker buyer interest.

  • Multiple-offer scenarios still occur, particularly for well-priced homes near Woodridge Lake or with modern updates, but they are far less frequent than earlier this year.

  • Homes requiring updates or priced above neighborhood averages typically remain on the market longer during the winter slowdown.

Market Insights & Buyer/Seller Considerations

Buyers

  • Winter conditions offer more breathing room for inspections, negotiations, and property comparisons.

  • Focus on homes offering strong long-term value — acreage, updated mechanicals, functional layouts, and desirable locations.

  • Remain financing-ready, as competitively priced homes near lakes or with acreage still move quickly.

Sellers

  • Correct pricing is essential; buyers are more selective entering the winter season.

  • Strong presentation — staging, curb appeal, and professional photography — remains a key factor in attracting motivated buyers.

  • Listing before spring competition arrives may help you capture serious year-end or early-year buyers.

  • Respond promptly to market feedback to maintain interest and momentum.

What This Means for You

Buyers: You now have more opportunity to evaluate and negotiate, though high-quality homes near lakes or with acreage still attract swift interest. Preparation and clear priorities remain important to capitalize on opportunities.

Sellers: Low inventory supports your position, but buyers are increasingly value-conscious during the winter months. Accurate pricing and standout presentation will determine your success and reduce days on market.

Bottom Line

Goshen remains a highly desirable market for those seeking space, natural beauty, and a quieter lifestyle. With steady appreciation and limited inventory, sellers continue to hold an advantage, though winter introduces more balance. Buyers who remain prepared and informed will find strong opportunities, while sellers who price and present effectively will continue to achieve excellent results as the market transitions toward 2026.
