CT Real Estate Housing Market Report | November - December 2025




Key Insights for Buyers and Sellers

Simsbury remains one of the Farmington Valley’s most competitive and desirable markets. While the winter slowdown is moderating the pace slightly, demand continues to outpace supply, keeping conditions favorable for sellers. Home values continue to rise steadily, and well-maintained, move-in-ready homes remain in high demand. Buyers now have a bit more room for evaluation and negotiation compared to spring and summer, but the market still rewards preparedness and swift decision-making. Sellers benefit from low inventory, but accurate pricing and strong presentation are essential as buyers become more selective.

Market Performance Overview

  • The average home value in Simsbury is approximately $486,000, reflecting healthy year-over-year appreciation of around 6–7%.

  • Recent median sale prices range from $450,000 to $560,000, depending on updates, square footage, and neighborhood desirability.

  • Homes continue to sell near asking price, although bidding wars are less frequent than earlier in 2025.

  • Days on market have risen slightly, with many homes taking 12–24 days to secure a contract.

Inventory & Market Conditions

  • Inventory remains low, typically 30–45 active listings, keeping competition steady even as activity slows seasonally.

  • Well-presented homes in desirable neighborhoods such as Weatogue, Tariffville, and Simsbury Center draw significant buyer attention.

  • Multiple-offer situations still occur, especially for updated homes priced competitively, though premiums above asking are less aggressive than earlier in the year.

  • Homes needing updates or priced above comparable listings tend to stay on the market longer.

Market Insights & Buyer/Seller Considerations

Buyers

  • Continue to prepare strong financing and clear priorities; desirable homes still sell quickly.

  • Take advantage of the slightly slower winter pace to negotiate more confidently and complete thorough due diligence.

  • Prioritize homes with long-term value indicators, such as modern systems, functional layouts, and proximity to schools and amenities.

Sellers

  • Pricing matters more as buyers become increasingly value-driven in winter.

  • Professional presentation — staging, curb appeal, decluttering, and quality photography — significantly strengthens your market position.

  • Listing before the spring surge can help capture motivated buyers with fewer competing properties.

  • Monitor showing feedback and be ready to adjust strategy if initial activity is slow.
