Prospect, Ct Real Estate 2009 Year End Analysis

By
Real Estate Agent with Mapleridge Realty, CT 203-206-0754 REB.0759001

As we reached the end of 2009 in Prospect, Ct the market was showing a modest increase from the previous year in terms of total residential units sold.

As Prospect, Ct is a small town to begin with the bulk of the inventory of available housing would be in residential sales. The only condominiums complexes in town are 55+ communities.

In 2009, 78 properties were sold with a range in value from $190,000 to $589,000 with a median sales price of $257,000.

By comparison, there were 66 units sold in 2008 with a range in value from $172,000 to $589,000 with a median sales price $176,000

Currently there are 46 properties on the market, representing an 8 month inventory which definitely demonstrates a buyer's market. In addition, 8 properties are currently under contract and going through the closing process. 

We are an ideal community of 12,000 people and the 7 degrees of separation is too many to connect with all the people in town.

Ed, Prospect is a cool little place and if your market stats are going to continue in the vein they have been, perhaps this is a good indication we are.... on the mend!

That's interesting....hmmmm...do you include the sales from those 55+ communities in your data, Ed?

Andrea, it's hard to tell we have several foreclosures and a few short sales in the current active mix and I'm sure they will pull it down.

William, no, first paragraph very clearly says residential. As the condos are 55+ communities they would not be an indication of the overall mix, plus Toll Brothers does not put all of their sales into the system

I also left out the mobile home park almost on the Naugy line because it does skew values considerably.

Ed sounds like Prospect is a cute little place if it only has 12,000 people, would be kinda cool.  Let's hope the increase continues and even with the foreclosures and short sales, that 2010 we are on the mend!

Ed.. The times when I have driven by through Prospect, I've always been attracted to the "small town" ambiance.  Thanks for the updated information on the town.

Ken, your welcome

Valerie, it was one of MOney Mag's best 300 towns for a while at #300 we added a few people and lost that designation

Hi A & P imagine all that in spite of me!

Craig, too much information makes my head hurt
