Wallingford, CT real estate
Wallingford is right in the middle of the state, and it’s popular with buyers who commute to both Hartford and New Haven.
The Wallingford market right now
Wallingford by the numbers
What I’m seeing
- Homes listed right now carry a median asking price of $460,000, well above the $385,000 median that homes actually sold for over the past year. Part of that is the mix of homes on the market today, and it’s the reason I price from closed sales rather than from other listings.
- Well-priced homes are moving fast. The typical listing has been on the market about 10 days.
- Inventory is about where it was a year ago, with 81 single-family homes for sale.

About Wallingford
Wallingford sits on I-91 and the Wilbur Cross Parkway (Route 15), about halfway between Hartford and New Haven, with a CTrail Hartford Line station downtown.
Center Street is the heart of downtown, with restaurants and shops within walking distance of many older neighborhoods.
Homes range from older colonials and capes near the center to ranches and newer subdivisions, plus a wide choice of condos.
A tip from Stanley
Wallingford has some of the fastest-moving listings in the area. Buyers here do well with a pre-approval ready and a plan for how strong to go on the first offer.
