What I’m seeing

  • Asking prices on today’s listings (median $399,999) are running a little above what homes sold for over the past year ($364,000), a sign that prices are still climbing.
  • Homes are selling at a steady pace. The typical listing has been on the market about 20 days.
  • Inventory is tighter than a year ago: 76 single-family listings now versus 104 in October.

Living in East Haven

About East Haven

East Haven sits on Long Island Sound along I-95, next to New Haven.

The Momauguin beach area and the Shore Line Trolley Museum are local landmarks.

Homes range from beach cottages near the water to capes, ranches and colonials inland.

A tip from Stanley

Near the water, flood zones and insurance costs affect what buyers can pay. I check those early so sellers aren’t surprised later.
