Meriden is one of the best values in central Connecticut, and it’s a strong market for first-time buyers and investors.
The Meriden market right now
Meriden by the numbers
What I’m seeing
- Asking prices on today’s listings (median $359,900) are running a little above what homes sold for over the past year ($321,750), a sign that prices are still climbing.
- Homes are selling at a steady pace. The typical listing has been on the market about 19 days.
- Inventory is tighter than a year ago: 114 single-family listings now versus 162 in October.

About Meriden
Meriden sits where I-91, I-691 and Route 15 meet, and the Meriden Transit Center has a CTrail Hartford Line station.
Hubbard Park and Castle Craig look out over the city from the Hanging Hills.
Homes include single-family capes, ranches and colonials, a large stock of two- and three-family houses, and condos.
A tip from Stanley
Two- and three-family homes are a big part of Meriden’s market. For those, I look at rents, leases and the numbers an investor or owner-occupant will run, not only the comparable sales.
