Single Family Home Sales for New Milford CT, November 2013
The real estate market in New Milford CT is still recovering. We are in a buyer's market, slogging through short sales and sale prices are not rising.
Although October showed a rise in the average sale price, the numbers were skewed as the result of a sale of a property of over 4 million. The November average sales price was down again. Given that we can see the numbers are really fairly consistent, hovering between the high $200,000's to the low to mid $300,000's.
Comparing November 2012 to November 2013, the amount of sales are down by 2 and the average sales price was also down by more than $21,000.
With many parts of the country showing a stronger recovery it tells me we are getting there, it will take more time, more jobs in Connecticut and a stronger local economy for Southern Litchfield County to show improvement. The good news is we are holding fairly steady. With other parts of Connecticut showing a stronger real estate recovery it follows that our time is coming!
For buyers it is all good news. The only problem is that often buyers are competing in the same price range so it can be very frustrating. But prices are still down and interest rates are low so it does make for a good buying climate.
For sellers it may not be such good news unless you are realistic about your price and have an aggressive and proactive marketing plan for your home. You want to be in that select group of homes that sells, not the ones that sit forever with multiple price reductions.

Take a look at the charts below, I think they tell the story quite well. Notice that if we had no more homes come on the market it would take 11 months to sell the current inventory.
