The Waterbury market right now
Waterbury by the numbers
What I’m seeing
- Homes listed right now carry a median asking price of $330,000, well above the $286,500 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.
- Homes are selling at a steady pace. The typical listing has been on the market about 24 days.
- Inventory is tighter than a year ago: 236 single-family listings now versus 297 in October.

A tip from Stanley
For Waterbury multi-families, rents and leases matter as much as the house. I bring those numbers to every pricing conversation.
