CT Real Estate Housing Market Report | July - August 2025




Key Insights for Buyers and Sellers

Goshen remains a balanced-to-seller’s market. While prices are rising moderately, the pace of sales is slowing, giving both buyers and sellers room to strategize. Sellers still benefit from demand, while buyers gain a bit more breathing room to make thoughtful offers.

Market Performance Overview

  • The average home value in Goshen is approximately $586,000, reflecting a steady gain of about 2.6% year-over-year.

  • In July 2025, the median listing price was around $885,000, showing strong upward momentum compared to last year.

  • Homes sold in July recorded a median sale price near $890,000, with the average time on market extending to about 65 days—a notable increase from last year’s average of 21 days.

Inventory & Market Conditions

  • As of late July, Goshen had approximately 18 active listings, with around 5 new listings entering the market—indicating limited supply.

  • Slower sales (65 days on market) suggest the market is cooling slightly, giving buyers a better chance to explore and evaluate, while sellers should prioritize presentation and accurate pricing.

Market Insights & Buyer/Seller Considerations

Buyers: Take advantage of the extended selling timelines to conduct thorough research and launch strategic offers. Strong financing and thoughtful terms will still be key in competitive situations.
Sellers: Despite slower cycles, demand remains—so invest in staging, accurate pricing, and excellent marketing to maintain buyer interest and secure strong transactions.
