Connecticut single-family home sales fell for the sixth straight year in 2010, reaching their lowest annual level in nearly two decades, according to a new report by the Warren Group, released today. A mostly-mediocre sales year in the state was dragged down by a dismal fourth quarter — the slowest fourth quarter for single-family home sales there since the 1990s — and the sluggish sales numbers came even as median home prices ticked up to $250,000, an increase of 4 percent over the median home price in 2009. It was a similar story for condominium sales. TRD [more]
October single-family home and condo sales in Connecticut saw double-digit percent increases from the same month a year ago while median prices dropped, according to a report released today by real estate data provider the Warren Group (see all the data here). Single-family home sales rose 11.5 percent year-over-year to 2,371 in October 2009, marking the third month that year-over-year sales increased. Meanwhile, the median price for single-family homes dropped 4.4 percent to $239,000 from October 2008, the data shows. He was cautiously optimistic in his interpretation of the data.Timothy Warren, CEO of the Warren Group, attributed the jump in sales to the first-time homebuyer tax credit. “While gains in sales volume are pointing to a housing recovery, we have to keep in mind that home prices are still declining year-over-year, so the housing market hasn’t completely turned a corner,” Warren said.

Single-family home sales in Connecticut climbed for the second consecutive month in August, according to a report released today from the Warren Group, a real estate data tracking group. There were 2,644 Connecticut home sales in August, marking a 7 percent climb from the same time period in the previous year, the data shows. Timothy Warren, CEO of the Warren Group, said that while the data is a good indicator of market recovery, other economic concerns linger. “The gains in home sales for two consecutive months is a good boost for Connecticut’s housing market, especially since sales have been slumping since 2005,” Warren said. “However, unemployment and mortgage delinquencies remain a concern, and prices continue to erode from last year’s levels, evidence that the housing recovery will be slow.”
