CT Real Estate Housing Market Report | September - October 2025




Key Insights for Buyers and Sellers

The Simsbury market remains in seller territory, but momentum is easing. Home values are trending upward at a moderate rate, and while supply stays tight, buyers may find a bit more breathing room. Sellers still enjoy strong demand—especially for well-priced, quality homes—and strategic pricing is more important than ever in this transitional phase.

Market Performance Overview

  • The average home value in Simsbury is now estimated around $530,000, reflecting a modest year-over-year increase of about 3–4 %.

  • Homes are still selling above list price in many cases, but the premium over asking is narrowing compared to the hotter months.

  • The median time from listing to contract has stretched somewhat; many homes now take 10 to 20 days to go under agreement, rather than the ultra-rapid pace seen earlier in the year.

Inventory & Market Conditions

  • Active inventory remains relatively low—typically 50–60 homes for sale in town.

  • A slight increase in new listings in early fall gives buyers more choice, but many of these listings are quickly absorbed, especially in desirable neighborhoods.

  • Multiple-offer conditions persist for strong listings, but fewer homes are generating intense bidding wars.

  • Homes that are dated, poorly presented, or overpriced may stay longer than they did during peak months.

Market Insights & Buyer/Seller Considerations

Buyers

  • Be prepared and decisive.

  • Focus on homes in excellent condition or with strong location advantages.

  • Clean, well-structured offers—especially with minimal contingencies—can give you leverage.

Sellers

  • Pricing is critical. Starting too high may delay activity, while underpricing may leave money on the table.

  • Presentation matters more in fall than ever—staging, photography, and marketing make a difference.

  • Consider listing before the market fully quiets down; early fall often captures motivated buyers before winter sets in.

Popular Places to Visit in Simsbury

  • Talcott Mountain State Park & Heublein Tower — Scenic hiking destination with panoramic views.

  • Stratton Brook State Park — Trails, swimming, and forested natural beauty.

  • Simsbury Meadows Performing Arts Center — Hosts concerts and events through the fall.

  • Simsbury Fly-In & Car Show — Annual September event combining aircraft displays and classic cars.

  • Community Seasonal Events — Including fall foliage tours, town festivals, and guided “Hike with the Library” walks.

What This Means for You

Buyers: You may find slightly more time to consider options, but the competition for good homes remains. Be ready with financing, and make offers that stand out.
Sellers: The window is still favorable—just more nuanced. Get your pricing right, present your home at its best, and choose your timing to maintain momentum.

Bottom Line

Simsbury’s housing market remains strong but is showing early signs of moderation. Average values are up moderately (~3–4 %), days to pending are lengthening slightly, and inventory is still constrained. Well-positioned homes continue to draw competitive interest, but precision in pricing and presentation now plays an even bigger role in achieving results. Sellers retain a market edge, and buyers who are prepared and discerning can still find success.
