The Hartford County Market Update has been updated to show the number of new/active listings that came on the market in the previous month. Under Contract and Closed numbers are large because they reflect activity on any active listings that existed prior to and through the previous month.

So where are we in the market at this time? The Greater Hartford Association of Realtors’ opinion about the U.S. housing market is that the market is undergoing a major shift. Affordability continues to be an obstacle for buyers and sellers, mortgage rates have doubled since March, and home prices remain elevated due to a limited supply of homes, although price gains are slowing at a quickening pace. As a result, many homeowners are waiting until market conditions improve to sell their home, while other sellers are increasingly cutting prices and offering concessions to attract a greater number of buyers.

While this may sound like sobering news, you can see from the Hartford County Market Update that properties continue to come on the market, go under contract, and close. Buyers and sellers who adjust their expectations based on market conditions and the availability and costs of financing should be able find a way to complete their sales.

The housing market typically slows down as we move into the Fall and Winter seasons. However, continued high inflation and recent increases in mortgage interest rates are influencing the trend towards declining home sales, declining sales prices, and homes staying on the market longer. Currently in Hartford County, homes are selling, on average, about 3% above listing price. Inventory remains lower than normal with about 1.5 months of supply, and are on the market an average of 28 days.
