Real numbers from the Connecticut shoreline. Updated regularly. No spin — just truth.
The Milford market continues to favor sellers, but there are shifts happening that smart buyers can take advantage of. Here's the breakdown:
The 8.3% year-over-year increase is strong, but it's decelerating from the double-digit gains we saw in 2021-2023. This is a healthier, more sustainable pace. For sellers, it means your equity is growing. For buyers, it means the days of homes appreciating 15% a year are likely behind us — but you're still building wealth.
At 142 active listings, Milford remains inventory-constrained. Anything priced correctly in the $400K-$700K range is still seeing multiple offers within the first two weeks. Above $800K, there's more room to negotiate.
At 18 average days on market, properly priced homes are moving fast. If a listing has been sitting for 30+ days, it's almost always a pricing issue — not a demand issue.
Interest rates, new construction permits in the shoreline towns, and migration patterns from NYC. These three factors will determine where the market goes in Q3 and Q4. I track all of it in my weekly Market Monday updates.
