WARREN — Warren, a rural community bordering Lake Waramaug, saw its 12-month trailing median price for a single-family home rise to $905,000 for the period ending April 30, 2026.

The figure represents a 35% increase from the $669,250 median recorded for the 12 months ending April 30, 2025, and a 76% increase from the $515,000 median recorded for the year ending April 30, 2024.

The 12-month rolling average of home sales through April 30 was 17, compared with 20 during the previous 12-month period. With only about 650 housing units, Warren’s small housing stock often results in months with little or no sales activity. For instance, during the first four months of 2026, just four properties changed hands, including vacant land.

Meanwhile, at the end of May, only five single-family homes were listed for sale, four of them priced above $1 million. Eight parcels of land were on the market, with asking prices ranging from $150,000 to $3.5 million for a one-acre lot on Arrow Point Road.

Seasonal rentals remained readily available at the end of May, with eight furnished summer homes still on the market. Since January, four furnished summer homes have been rented through local real estate agencies, with monthly rents ranging from $8,500 to $20,000, roughly in line with last year’s activity.
