NORFOLK — The 12-month trailing median price for a single-family home, excluding condos, in Norfolk — known as the “Ice Box of Connecticut” — fell to $320,000 for the period ending July 31, 2026. Over the last year, the rolling 12-month median peaked at $526,500 in September 2025.
The current median of $320,000 is 22% below the $410,000 recorded a year ago and 16% below the $381,500 median for the comparable period ending July 31, 2024, unlike other towns in the Northwest Corner, which have seen rising values.
Norfolk median prices remain well below the 2007 “bubble level” of $550,000, but are back strongly from their lowest point in March 2017 of $166,000.
Closed sales of single-family homes occur about once a month in quiet Norfolk, with 11 sales in the 12 months ending in July 2026, compared with 12 in the comparable 2025 period and and 17 in 2024. Like the rest of Litchfield County, Norfolk saw its most active period during the pandemic-era housing boom, with 38 homes sold from March 2020 to March 2021.
Inventory of one- and two-family homes for sale reached 14 in early August, about a year’s inventory. Higher priced homes dominated the market with four over $1,000,000 and not one under the current median price of $320,000.
