With just 74 single-family homes on the market at month’s end, the total number of home sales declined 49% year-over-year in September, from 39 to 20, according to new data.
The median sales price for the month also declined 2%, from $1,675,000 to $1,648,500, according to new data from the New Canaan Board of Realtors.
Even so, year-to-date, the median sales price of houses is 23% in New Canaan, noted Melissa Rwambuya, president of the Board Of Realtors and New Canaan Multiple Listing Service.
“With unprecedented low inventory, sales are down but demand remains very high,” Rwambuya said in a statement. “Sellers are seeing multiple offers on their homes so it is still a great time to be a seller. We do not see this buyer demand going away any time soon.”
