Selling your home in New Milford, CT is almost like having a baby. Why is that? The absorption rate for single family homes in New Milford, CT is 36 weeks. The normal gestational period for a baby is 38 weeks. I don't have to tell you what a gestational period is, but what is an absorption rate?
The absorption rate tells me how long it will take to sell the current inventory on the market at the current rate of sales. As of today in New Milford, CT the absorption rate is 36 weeks. That is a buyers market for sure. Absorption rates over 6 months are considered a buyers market. We are over 6 months, so it is a buyers market here. My guess is that the inventory will only increase as we get further into the new year, then the absorption rate for New Milford, CT will increase also.
