Happy July! 🏖️The Summer Housing Market Is Sending Mixed Signals. Here’s a summary of the Fairfield and Westport CT single-family markets in June 2026 compared to a year ago.

June 2026 Takeaways 📝

1. Housing Supply: Supply remained limited. There were approximately three to four months of housing supply in Fairfield and Westport, respectively at the end of June, showing a continued sellers’ market. To add some perspective, 10 years ago in June, there were 709 homes for sale in Fairfield and 494 in Westport (vs 137 and 98 this year)!
2. Price Selection: Homes sold across all price points between $430K to $3.3M in Fairfield and from $500K to $11.8M in Westport.
3. Competition: On average, prices were still rising due to continued high demand and low supply. Homes sold an average of 4-6% over the asking price, however, this reflected a wide range.
4. Market Time: The average days on the market was 30 in Fairfield and 43 in Westport, which was significantly longer than last year, but still relatively fast.
5. Buyer Takeaway: Buyers can work with their agents to plan the best offer approach based on their needs and the conditions specific to their home of interest, since competition has been case-by-case.
6. Seller Takeaway: Sellers in this market have seen the best outcomes when they price competitively to draw potential buyers to their listing and present their home strategically to elicit buyer enthusiasm and emotional connection. Agent consensus during a recent sales meeting, was: “Don’t price to the outlier.” This means you should price to match the majority of comparable sales, not the one with the highest number that may have had extenuating circumstances.

In Fairfield, there were 80 single-family sales with 65 more under contract at the time this was written. The number of homes for sale increased, as well as the average market time, but so did prices. Homes sold for an average of 106% of the asking price. This reflected a huge range though, from 87% to 138% of the list price! Most homes sold close to full price, with 89% of homes selling at or above 95% of the list price. Reported Cash deals accounted for 28% of the sales.

Sales and inventory were up in Westport, compared to June 2025. Days to contract averaged 43, which was a significant increase from the prior year, though still quite fast. Sale prices were still on the rise and averaged 104% of asking. There was also a wide variation here, with a low of 72% up to as high as 153% of the list price! Eighty-two percent of homes sold at or above 95% of the asking price. Forty-two percent of buyer agents reported cash deals.
