What this tells you
The median is the middle sale price, excluding concessions. It describes the homes that sold, and a change in the mix of homes can change the median. Year-over-year percentages are the publisher’s rounded figures.
Inventory is a month-end count, not today’s available homes. Days to offer is an average, not a median or time to closing. County and statewide figures come directly from their reports; they are not averages of town medians.
Coverage is activity reported through SmartMLS, which may exclude sales reported elsewhere or outside an MLS. Counties use Connecticut’s eight historical counties, not the nine planning regions. Town reports cover the parent municipality, including villages such as Kensington within Berlin.
