This Month’s Market Insight: “Smart Pricing Is Back in Style”
Across the board, we’re seeing a classic mid-year transition: more listings, longer market times, and early signals that buyers are becoming price-sensitive—even in luxury markets.
While sellers still hold an advantage, especially in towns like Fairfield and Westport, that edge is narrowing. Homes that are priced thoughtfully and staged well are continuing to sell quickly. Overpriced homes, on the other hand, are starting to linger.
Sellers: Now’s the time to align strategy with market reality. Pricing aggressively high might no longer yield top-dollar results.
Buyers: More choices and slightly longer market times mean better negotiating power—especially if you're decisive and pre-approved.
