The West Hartford market right now
West Hartford by the numbers
What I’m seeing
- Homes listed right now carry a median asking price of $659,900, well above the $515,000 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 14 days.
- Inventory is tighter than a year ago: 161 single-family listings now versus 181 in October.
