Houlihan Lawrence Q2-2025 New Haven and Middlesex Counties Market Report
Q2-2025
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The real estate markets across New Haven and Middlesex Counties showed varied trends in the second quarter of 2025, reflecting a mix of steady demand and cautious buyer behavior.
In New Haven County, Milford stands out with strong sales growth and steady price increases. Buyers remain active, and homes continue to sell near list price with quick turnaround times, indicating a balanced market with solid demand. Meanwhile, New Haven and Woodbridge experienced fewer sales but rising prices, especially in median values, suggesting that while transaction volume slowed, buyer interest remains focused on quality properties. Branford reported stable sales volume but a slight softening in prices and fewer pending contracts. This points to a market where buyers are becoming more selective, and pricing sensitivity is growing.
As we look ahead, we remain committed to guiding you through every step of your real estate journey. Sellers who price thoughtfully and present their homes well are continuing to see strong results. Buyers are still active but more selective, acting quickly on homes that are well located and move in ready. The market north of New York City is expected to keep rewarding quality, timing, and value.
With Warm Regards,
Liz Nunan President and CEO
