Q3-2025
Q3-2025 MARKET REPORT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The third quarter of 2025 brought continued strength across Lower Fairfield County, with Darien and New Canaan showing significant growth in both sales volume and pricing. While Rowayton saw fewer transactions, pricing remained stable, and homes continued to move quickly. Across all three markets, buyer demand remains high, supported by low inventory, quick sales, and above-ask pricing.
Darien had a strong quarter with homes sold up 15% and average price rising 6% to $2.82M. Days on market remained low at 28 days, and sellers received 103.7% of list price, underscoring strong, sustained demand.
New Canaan saw sales rise 19% in Q3 and average prices jump 21% to over $3M. Homes sold in an average of 35 days, and buyers continued to pay over asking at 101.8%, showing deep buyer confidence in the market.
Rowayton sales dipped 8% in Q3 but values held strong. The average sale price edged up 2%, while price per square foot rose 14% year-to-date. Homes are selling quicker and over asking, indicating selective but strong demand.
As we head into the final quarter, market fundamentals in Darien, New Canaan, and Rowayton remain solid. Limited inventory, motivated buyers, and continued competition for quality homes suggest that pricing strength and swift sales will carry into year-end.
With Warm Regards,
Liz Nunan President and CEO
