Q1-2026




In the first quarter of 2026, Fairfield County’s real estate market demonstrated notable resilience amid varied conditions. While sales activity showed some moderation, home values remained strong, supported by limited inventory and steady buyer demand across the county.
The county continues to attract buyers drawn to its combination of coastal charm, suburban amenities, and convenient access to New York City. Competition remains robust across key price segments, with well-positioned homes generating heightened interest and activity. Entry-level and mid-range properties are particularly sought after, reflecting sustained buyer eagerness despite broader market fluctuations.
Inventory constraints persist throughout much of the county, maintaining a market environment where quality homes move quickly. Looking ahead, the market is expected to remain competitive, and without a meaningful increase in supply, pricing is likely to continue trending upward.
As the market leader north of New York City, Houlihan Lawrence is uniquely positioned to help buyers and sellers navigate their real estate journey with unmatched market insight, strategic guidance, and deep local expertise.
With Warm Regards,
Liz Nunan President and CEO
FIRST QUARTER 2026
