The market was hot in July! 🔥Here’s a summary of the Fairfield and Westport CT single-family markets compared to a year ago.
July 2026 Takeaways
1. Housing Supply: Months of housing supply continued to be limited with 2.7 months in Fairfield and 3.6 in Westport at the end of July showing a continued sellers’ market.
2. Price Selection: Homes sold across all price points, between $433K to $4.2M in Fairfield and from $1.2M to $8.986M in Westport.
3. Competition: The median price was still up from a year ago due to continued high demand and low supply. Homes sold an average of 5-6% over the asking price, however this reflected a wide range.
4. Market Time: The time from list to contract was brisk, averaging less than 30 days in both towns! Almost all listings (over 96%) sold in 90 days or less.
5. Buyer Takeaway: Buyers can work with their agents to plan the best offer approach based on their needs and the conditions specific to their home of interest, since competition is still case-by-case.
6. Seller Takeaway: The successful sellers were those who priced competitively to draw buyers in quickly and invested in the steps needed to present their property in it’s best possible light to ensure buyers felt a strong and positive emotional connection when they arrived.
