Newtown, CT Real Estate Comparison 2016 vs 2015 Every year in January, we post a comparison of real estate statistics for the year that just ended and the year prior. This year we are comparing 2016 to 2015. All data is for Single Family Homes and is from the multiple listing service (MLS)
We changed up the format somewhat. What do you think?

| # of Sales | 356 | # of Sales | 413 | + 56 |
| Median Sale Price | $366,000 | Median Sale Price | $380,000 | + 3.68% |
| Average Sale Price | $383,534 | Average Sale Price | $397,322 | + 3.47% |

You can easily see that there were pluses in all categories in 2016. The average sale price is up almost 3.5% and the median price showed an increase, too. The number of sales and the sales volume both increased significantly, but it took a little longer to sell a home in 2016.
