CT Real Estate Housing Market Report | September - October 2025




Key Insights for Buyers and Sellers

Plainville remains a clear seller’s market, though the pace is showing early signs of leveling. Home values continue to rise modestly, inventory remains constrained, and buyer interest is steady—especially for well-priced, well-conditioned homes. Sellers retain leverage, but pricing accuracy and presentation are more important than ever. Buyers who are prepared and decisive still have a path to success.

Market Performance Overview

  • The average home value in Plainville is approximately $329,000, representing a year-over-year growth of about 3–4 %.

  • In July 2025, the median listing home price was around $302,500, which reflects a decline of 8.3 % versus the prior year—likely due to variation in listings.

  • On average, properties spend about 12 days on the market before going under contract, roughly matching last year’s pace.

  • The 06062 ZIP (Plainville) continues to show competitive dynamics: the median sale price recently was $345,000, up 5 % year-over-year, with a median time on market of 27 days.

  • Many recently sold homes achieved sale-to-list price ratios above 100 %, though the premium above asking is narrower than in hotter months.

Inventory & Market Conditions

  • Active inventory is limited—only a few dozen well-positioned homes are generally available.

  • New listings continue to enter the market, though many of the stronger homes are absorbed quickly.

  • Multiple-offer situations still occur in desirable neighborhoods and for turnkey homes, but intensity and overbidding are less universal.

  • Properties needing significant updates, with idiosyncratic layouts, or priced misaligned with comps are seeing longer market times.

Market Insights & Buyer/Seller Considerations

Buyers

  • Be fully pre-approved and ready to act.

  • Focus on homes in good condition or in prime locations.

  • Offers structured with fewer contingencies or stronger terms will be more competitive.

  • Use the modest increase in market time to do thorough due diligence, but don’t hesitate when a good home appears.

Sellers

  • The margin for error is shrinking—start with sharp, data-informed pricing.

  • Excellent presentation matters: staging, quality photos, and curb appeal help your home stand out.

  • Early fall remains a smart window to list—before market activity cools further.

  • Be responsive and willing to adjust strategy based on buyer feedback.
