We are in the full swing of Spring Market in southwestern Connecticut! We’ve been seeing many homes hit the market, receive multiple offers, and sell well over the asking price within days on the market, when priced well and presented beautifully, in many towns across Connecticut. This is in alignment with a “typical” Spring Market and we are excited to see a return to a strong, relatively normal, and seasonal market.
We always say that real estate is local, so lets dive into the low inventory market we are still experiencing, specifically in Fairfield, CT:
There are currently 69 single-family homes listed for sale as of April 23, 2026.
There are currently 23 condominiums listed for sale as of April 23, 2026.
To go even further, there are 2 single-family homes currently listed for sale in Fairfield under $500,000. Both are duplexes.
The highest priced single family home is $25,000,000 – 1131 Sasco Hill Road.
123 homes sold in Fairfield in the last 90 days.
Inventory is picking up, though, as you’ll see by the graphs below. We had a late start to Spring Market this year due to a snowy winter, so we anticipate a strong summer market.
Jorge Rivera, our in-house mortgage broker, provided a few more stats in Fairfield:
Most winning bids are landing 3-7% over the asking price. This is good to keep in mind if you are planning on putting in an offer on a home in Fairfield or what to expect with offers if you are selling your home. Formulate the listing price and add on an additional 3-7% to come up with a competitive offer price.
Turn-key homes are moving in 6-10 days. Homes that present well will always stand out amongst the competition. Ask us about our staging and home prep consultation program!
The market is strongly favoring sellers but we are seeing an “inventory trickle” of more and more listings coming on the market.
Our team agents have been navigating a variety of markets over the last several years and are well versed in how to position your home in the local market. There are many strategies for both buyers and sellers we’ve executed in home sales, such as a rent-back, off-market sales for sellers, off-market direct to homeowners prospecting for buyers’ escalation clauses, appraisal gap coverage, and much more. Mortgage brokers also have their own strategies to help make your offer competitive! Wherever you are in the home selling or buying process, I would love to have an initial conversation with you to talk through next steps, options, and strategies. My e-mail inbox is always open!
