Real Estate Homes Outside NYC in New Canaan CT
The record-breaking real estate market in New Canaan doesn’t want to cool down.
Almost every measurable metric used to compare single-family homes sales and prices is still trending upward, even as winter settles over Fairfield County and the rest of the state.
The year-to-date statistics comparing 2020 to 2019 are eye-popping.
–The average sales price of a home in New Canaan rose 12.8 percent to $1,691,454;
–The median sales price rose 7.2 percent to $1,439,000;
–The average sales price per square foot rose 7.9 percent to $374;
–The average list price of a home rose 6.5 percent to $2,250,951
Some numbers went down, but only ones that are positive news for home sellers, which included a drop in the average number of days a home was on the market.
If you were to compare sales in December 2020 to December 2019, the numbers were equally impressive.
–The median sales price rose 5.8 percent to $1,586,500;
–The average sales price per square foot rose 20.1 percent to $406;
–The average list price of a home rose 23.1 percent to $2,634,585
The only “negative number” may be that the inventory of available homes for sale in the community is at its lowest point in many years.
