As we move into fall, the August housing data shows a mix of rising prices, shifting inventory, and steady demand across Fairfield County. Here’s how our key towns performed:
All data pulled from SmartMLS on September 8, 2025
Fairfield
-
Median Sale Price: $1,330,000 (+18.2% YOY)
-
Closed Sales: +10%
-
New Listings: down 20%
-
Condo Market: Median condo price rose nearly 30% to $600,000; average condo sales price nearly doubled year-over-year.
Takeaway: Fairfield continues to see strong buyer demand despite limited inventory, pushing prices higher across both single-family and condo markets.
Weston
-
Median Sale Price: $1,232,500 (−13.6% YOY, though year-to-date is slightly up)
-
Closed Sales: down 12.5% in August, but steady year-to-date
-
New Listings: dropped 61.5%
-
Inventory: 33 homes, 2.9 months’ supply
Takeaway: Weston’s slowdown in new listings is worth watching, but overall pricing is stable year-to-date, suggesting selective buyer activity rather than a major downturn.
Wilton
-
Median Sale Price: $1,410,000 (+16% YOY)
-
Closed Sales: down 18.5%
-
Inventory: down 32.5% (27 homes available, 1.5 months’ supply)
-
Condos: Median price more than doubled to $1.325M (limited sample size)
Takeaway: Wilton’s supply squeeze is supporting higher pricing, especially in the single-family market, even as fewer deals are closing.
Westport
-
Median Sale Price: $2,595,500 (+11.5% YOY)
-
Closed Sales: down 15.8%
-
Days on Market: dropped sharply to 36 (from 58 last year)
-
Inventory: up slightly to 86 homes (3.4 months’ supply)
-
Condos: Smaller market, but sellers captured stronger list-to-sale ratios (98.9%)
Takeaway: Luxury demand remains strong in Westport, with higher prices and faster sales signaling confidence among both buyers and sellers.
What This Means for Buyers & Sellers
-
Sellers: Low inventory continues to work in your favor, especially if you’re in Fairfield or Wilton. Proper pricing remains key in Weston.
-
Buyers: Expect competition at the top end, but expanding Westport inventory could mean new opportunities this fall.
