Here are the latest results of the Washington CT Real Estate Market, June 2013

House with pool for sale Washington CTThe statistics don't always show everything.

When putting my results together for single family home sales and other stats in Washington, CT I noticed a few things.

  • The number of sales are down by 2 when compared to May 2013, and only up one from June 2012
  • The average list and sale prices are up compared to both May of 2013 and June of 2012

But... my web site is busier than it has been with people searching for homes for sale in Washington, CT!

And I mean busy! The most popular home looked at by buyers on my site right now is a home in New Preston (Washington) CT on Lake Waramaug.

Is the real estate market starting to change in Washington?

We shall see. Currently there are 80 active single family homes for sale, 8 homes under deposit and 4 homes pending sale. I would like to see more, only time will tell the real story. I am optimistic though.

Washington, CT has a lot to offer either a full time resident or a person looking for that quintessential weekend home in Litchfield County. Although prices seem to be on the rise, there are some great homes at both ends of the scale.

Washington, CT has:

  • Great restaurants to choose from, all prices, all types
  • A local grocery store
  • A defined town center with boutique shops
  • A good school district
  • Lots of hiking trails through Steep Rock and Hidden Valley
  • A very active art association
  • Robust volunteer community spirit
  • Access to Lake Waramaug through their own town beach
  • The Mayflower Inn and Spa, fantastic place indeed. Wow!
  • And a whole lot of eye candy!

Of course there is more to Washington, these are just a few of the benefits of choosing a home in Washington. I spend much time there and so I could be a bit partial. I have many fond memories of walking through Steep Rock and Hidden Valley, of browsing the stores or eating at any of the local restaurants, of just driving around and enjoying the local scenery!

So how is the real estate market doing in Washington, CT?

Not bad, all things considered. Let's see what the coming months bring, but it is looking up as far as I can see if the activity on my website is any indication. Those looking must see something special about Washington, just like I do!

For sellers, the change probably isn't happening fast enough. Pricing correctly and intensive marketing is key to getting your home to stand out above the competition. You can read about our powerful marketing and listing program here.
