NORTH CANAAN, CT – Home prices and sales continued to climb in North Canaan through July, while limited inventory kept the town’s housing market tilted toward sellers.
The median price of a single-family home for the 12 months ending July 31 was $355,000, up 27% from $279,900 during the previous 12-month period. It was also 42% higher than the $250,000 median recorded for the year ending July 31, 2024.
The latest figure was just below the town’s record trailing 12-month median of $357,750, reached in April 2026.
Sales also increased. Twenty-nine single-family homes were sold during the 12 months ending in July, nearly twice the 15 sold during the comparable period a year earlier and up from 16 two years earlier.
For comparison, annual sales peaked at 47 during the 12 months ending in August 2021, amid the pandemic-era surge in demand.
Eight single-family homes were listed for sale at the end of August, representing roughly three to four months of inventory based on the recent sales pace. That level of supply generally indicates a seller’s market.
Three single-family homes were listed below the 12-month median price of $355,000. The other five single-family homes were listed above the median.
