Homes that have been sitting on the market for 6+ months often signal motivated sellers—and potential deals for smart buyers. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to make your move, this might be it.

A Market Shift Worth Watching

Fall in New Haven County brings more than crisp air and changing leaves. It also marks a shift in buyer behavior—and seller motivation. As focus turns to the holidays, some homes are lingering on the market longer, creating real opportunities for those ready to negotiate.

  • Prices range from $200K to $4.3M
  • 274 homes have expired in the last 6 months
