Sales of single-family homes in New Canaan more than doubled in August from one year ago, new data show. The increase, from 27 to 57, was due mainly to a 157% increase in the $1 million to $2 million range, according to Multiple Listing Service data compiled by the New Canaan Board of Realtors. The median sales price also increased year-over-year by 2%, from $1,361,500 to $1,336,772, the data show. Here’s a snapshot of the sales activity:
Board President Melissa Rwambuya said in a statement: “Despite the start of the school year when the market typically slows down, demand remains incredibly high with historically low inventory. Open houses are very well attended with many people still looking to move here from New York City.

A widely anticipated rebuilding project at Route 123 and Lakeview Avenue will start mid-September, according to those overseeing it. Tax credit financing through Connecticut Housing Finance Authority, as well as a Federal Housing Authority-approved loan and private bank backstopped by HUD have come through for the estimated $45 million Canaan Parish project, according to Scott Hobbs, chairman of the New Canaan Housing Authority. The volunteer agency is partnering with New Canaan Neighborhoods Inc. to rebuild Canaan Parish, a 60-unit Section 8 housing complex at New Norwalk Road and Lakeview Avenue, in a single five-story structure and to construct a new, 40-unit structure of the same height. Both buildings would count toward the state’s affordable housing requirement.
Asked what’s the big message for locals as construction gets underway, Hobbs said, “I think that you are going to start seeing the fruition of a lot of work from a lot of people and great support from the community and town officials in creating what will be a world-class affordable housing complex. We believe that we have very architecturally interesting buildings that will serve the residents and community well for the next generation.”
Unanimously approved in August 2018 by the Planning & Zoning Commission, the project has been described as creating more energy-efficient buildings with green space around them and in a combination of different-sized units.
