Trending Activities

During the spring and summer, Hammonasset Beach emerges as a prime destination for fishing, surfing, strolling along the boardwalk, observing wildlife, and enjoying breathtaking sunsets. The gardens and the turtle habitat are popular places to see while there.

Modest Real Estate Scene

Based on December 2023 data from Redfin, Connecticut’s median home sale price is just under $380,000, and homes remain on the market for about 39 days. While the number of homes for sale have shown a steady decline, just 14.6% of residences incurred price drops. Overall, there’s been a notable 13% price increase in homes for sale throughout Connecticut. All things considered, the current real estate market appears to favor sellers rather than buyers.
