Info provided by Keara Langston from the Greater Hartford Association of Realtors®

(Hartford, Conn., November 12, 2024) – According to the Greater Hartford Association of REALTORS® (GHAR), inventory of single-family homes in Greater Hartford increased 7.7 percent (from 729 to 785) when compared to October of last year. The median sales price rose 2.7 percent ($375,000 to $385,000) and new listings increased 13.4 percent (from 476 to 540). Closed sales dropped 6.0 percent (from 435 to 409) and pending sales increased 6.4 percent (from 438 to 466) from October of 2023 to October of 2024. The average days on market until sale decreased 9.1 percent (from 22 to 20 days), over the same timeframe. In year-to-date statistics, when compared to October of last year, closed sales decreased 0.4 percent (from 4004 to 3988) and pending sales increased 1.3 percent (from 4087 to 4141). New listings increased 5.9 percent (from 4738 to 5019) and the median sales price rose 11.1 percent (from $360,000 to $400,000). The days on market decreased 16.7 percent (from 24 to 20 days) from the beginning of the year, when compared to year-to-date last year. Condominium inventory in Greater Hartford increased 42.6 percent (from 155 to 221) and the median sales price increased 9.2 percent (from $245,000 to $267,500) from October 2023 to October 2024. Pending sales increased 26.4 percent (from 110 to 139) and closed sales increased 7.0 percent (from 115 to 123). New listings increased 35.2 percent (from 128 to 173) and the average days on market decreased 11.1 percent (from 18 to 16 days), during this same month last year. “An increase in inventory is a welcome sign, giving buyers more options,” said GHAR CEO, Holly Callanan. “It’s still a competitive market even as sales slowdown, which is typical for this time of year,” she said. In the national outlook, Lawrence Yun, National Association of REALTORS® chief economist stated: "The rise in inventory – and, more technically, the accompanying months’ supply – implies home buyers are in a much-improved position to find the right home and at more favorable prices. However, in areas where supply remains limited, like many markets in the Northeast, sellers still appear to hold the upper hand."

Selling and Buying a Home During the Holidays

The holiday season is often associated with festive gatherings, gift-giving, and joyful memories, but did you know it’s also a fantastic time to buy or sell a home? While some may hesitate to tackle real estate transactions during this busy season, the holidays offer unique advantages for both buyers and sellers. Here's why:

For Sellers

  1. Motivated Buyers: Buyers during the holidays are often serious about making a move quickly, whether it's for tax benefits, job relocations, or family needs.
  2. Less Competition: Fewer homes are listed during this time, giving your property a chance to shine with less market saturation.
  3. Holiday Charm: Festive decor and cozy atmospheres can make your home feel especially inviting to potential buyers.

Tips for Sellers:

  • Keep decorations tasteful and minimal to avoid overwhelming the space.
  • Focus on creating a warm, inviting atmosphere with good lighting and a tidy appearance.

For Buyers

  1. Flexible Schedules: Many people take time off work during the holidays, making it easier to schedule showings and closings.
  2. Negotiation Opportunities: Sellers who list during the holidays are often eager to close a deal, which may open doors for better terms or pricing.
  3. End-of-Year Incentives: Lower interest rates or special loan programs may be available, making it a financially smart time to buy.

Tips for Buyers:

  • Stay pre-approved and ready to act fast on your ideal home.
  • Consider the long-term value of a property beyond its current seasonal charm.

Why This Season Could Be Perfect

The holidays bring a sense of urgency, joy, and optimism that can create a win-win environment for all parties involved. With fewer distractions and a motivated market, it could be the ideal time to make your real estate move.

If you're considering buying or selling this holiday season, I’d love to help you navigate the process smoothly and stress-free. Let’s turn your holiday dreams into real estate success!
