Anne-Lise Brown, president of the Board of Realtors and New Canaan MLS, said in a statement, “The market remains relatively flat, and we did not see the uptick we were hoping for with new listings in February but we expect more inventory for the coming spring market.”

Homes spent 147 days on the market on average in February, compared to 172 one year ago, the data show, a decrease of 15%.

By Michael Dinan | January 6, 2022

With just 78 single-family homes in New Canaan listed on the market at the end of December, the overall number of homes sold in the month declined to 16 from 41 one year ago, according to new data. The median sales price for December stood at $1,557,000, according to data released by the New Canaan Board of Realtors. The figure is down 3% from the year-ago month, though for all of 2021 the median sales price increased 22%, from $1,442,500 to $1,759,000, the data show. “Given the lack of inventory, it is no surprise that prices have increased to the extent that they did at the end of 2021,” Anne-Lise Brown, president of the New Canaan Board of Realtors and New Canaan MLS, said in a statement. “However, I would caution that as more inventory comes on the market in 2022, these numbers may not be sustainable. What I do hope is that local families can take advantage of the shorter ‘days on market’ to make the most of the opportunities for their families.
