“As first-time homebuyers, we had no idea what to expect, and Tonya truly held our hands through the entire process. She was incredibly patient with us, answered every question we had, and made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel so much easier. She knows the area inside and out, was always punctual, and was not only incredibly responsive but proactive too, sending us listings she thought would be perfect for us when they hit the market. What we appreciated most was her honesty. If she didn't think a home was right for us or noticed something we might have overlooked, she never hesitated to tell us. We always felt that she had our best interests at heart, and that kind of genuine guidance made us trust her completely. We truly couldn't have done this without her, and she's officially part of the fam now! Whether you're a first-time homebuyer or a seasoned buyer, we couldn't recommend Tonya enough. She's the one!”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Inventory in New Canaan has expanded compared with last year, with active listings up about 45 percent in this rolling three-month view. Even with more homes available, months of supply is still low at 2.1, reinforcing the seller’s market backdrop. Contract activity has been brisk, as homes sold are up roughly 49 percent year over year, even though pending sales have slipped slightly.
Pricing has responded by moving higher overall, though with some recent softening. Typical home values are up about 10 percent from a year ago, while the share of properties selling above list price has surged from around 43 percent to nearly 73 percent.
Homes are also moving faster than they did a year ago, with median days on market down from 31 to 21 despite a modest month-to-month slowdown. Sellers are achieving strong results, with the average sale-to-list ratio now above 107 percent and higher than it was last year. At the same time, more inventory and a cooling in list prices compared with a few months ago can offer buyers slightly more room to maneuver. Whether you are trying to stand out as a buyer or maximize your outcome as a seller, Agent Pronto can connect you with a New Canaan agent who understands these trends and can guide you through them.

“Trish was incredible to work with. As a first time homebuyer she made the process so easy and smooth from start to finish. Trish went above and beyond to show me several properties and was always accommodating of my tricky schedule. Trish also sent weekly updates by email with progress and next steps which took the stress out of the home buying process! Trish was super responsive morning noon and night. I highly recommend her for anybody looking to buy or sell!!!”
“Christine did an amazing job helping us rehabilitate the home to suit the type of high end renter we desired. She helped us screen and avoid the difficulties that increasingly arise in this process. She exceeded all expectation and became a valued colleague.”
“Colleen was the perfect agent. She is deeply knowledgeable about a range of neighborhoods and helped us find a dream home after a process that lasted more than a year. She was patient and responsive during the entire search and helped win a competitive purchase. She has my highest recommendations, and I will go back to Colleen first for any real estate needs.”
“Nic has been consistently great to work with. I have used him 3 times now and each time had difficult sales involving Hubbard clauses and was able to flawlessly deliver each and every time getting my offers accepted in bidding wars. There are No other agents I would use. His knowledge and expertise is unmatched.”
“I can't say enough good things about Brian. He went above and beyond to help with selling our family home of 54 years. From the beginning, Brian took time to understand our goals and family dynamics, as well as manage our expectations. He was extremely patient and exercised professionalism and knowledge to keep everything moving forward. Brian was insightful about the real estate market and knowledgeable about buyers. He also helped us with arranging repairs, cleaning, virtual staging, and pretty much anything else that we needed. Even when Brian took a well-deserved short vacation, he was still on top of things. He made us feel like we were his only client....and I am sure he had a lot of other things going on. But most important, Brian cared! This is the x-factor that sets him apart from other agents. In the end, he helped us entertain 9 strong offers that lead to getting more than $100k over our asking price. We could not have done this sale without Brian and his staff. I would recommend Brian to my Mother with no reservations! He is the best and my Family is grateful to him for holding our hands through and relatively difficult situation. Thank you Brian, for everything!”
“We had an exceptional experience selling our childhood home with Jennifer. She was compassionate in understanding our needs and handled all buyer interest and offers promptly and professionally. She's an excellent agent, but an even better person! We couldn't have been happier with the outcome. We would highly recommend Jennifer for any of your real estate needs.”
“Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make. Bruno made the process less stressful and I can’t imagine having gone through the process with anyone better than him. From day one, he was incredibly patient, never once making us feel rushed or pressured. We looked at many homes out several offers and no matter how many questions we had or how many showings we requested, he was always available and happy to show us the houses. What impressed me the most was how much he genuinely cared about making sure we made the right decision. He took the time to educate us throughout the entire process, explaining things in a way that was easy to understand and making sure we felt confident every step of the way. His knowledge of the market was incredible. He told us that interest rates were likely to go up and that home prices would continue to increase, and he was absolutely right. The market won’t be the same in a few months he kept telling us. Thanks to his advice, we felt confident moving forward when we did, and looking back, we’re so grateful we listened. More than just being a great realtor, he was someone we completely trusted. He always had our best interests at heart, was honest, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping our family find the right home. Some realtors want a quick purchase and to move on. He pointed out potential issues and recommended several services for after the home purchase. We’re incredibly thankful for everything he did for us and couldn’t recommend him more highly. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, patient, and truly cares about his clients, you won’t find anyone better than Bruno.”
“Maggie! Maggie! Maggie! She was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire process. She made everything feel simple, smooth, and stress-free. She was always responsive, patient, and willing to answer every question I had, which made buying a home so much less overwhelming. By the end of it all, I genuinely felt like I had gained a friend. I can't recommend Maggie highly enough—I would recommend her a thousand times over!”
“Victor did an amazing job by guiding us through the entire process, he makes sure to check with you if the house have any imperfections of things that need to be addressed over time. If he feels you are not getting a good value he is very transparent with you and prefers to be patient than to rush things. We are very happy with Victor and will highly recommend.”
“Danielle was aces. We got an offer within a week and closed a short time after. The whole time, she was in constant communication with me. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in this area.”
“Faye was up front and direct with us, she listened to our questions and concerns with selling our property.”
“Judy did a great job for us. She advised on pricing strategy, organized an open house and subsequent viewings, established a deadline for offers, and dealt effectively with questions as they arose. She was always available to discuss progress and offered helpful advice on aspects of the sale not directly related to her role as a realtor. We received three offers well over the asking price and closed on the sale without any problems.”
“David was wonderful to work with as we had a difficult home to sell in this market. He did his due diligence in researching aspects of our unique house that would be relevant in the sale of the house. He was very diligent and responsive and conducted the process in an ultra professional manner.”
“We had an outstanding experience working with Chris. He sold our house quickly and at the best possible price, while handling every detail with care and professionalism. He helped us navigate all of our needs and requests, skillfully negotiated timelines, and ensured we received the strongest offer available. From beginning to end, he was consistently present, supportive, and truly went above and beyond. He is extremely knowledgeable, outgoing, and professional, and his great sense of humor made the entire process far less stressful and even enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better agent and highly recommend Christopher to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
“Working with Jeff was one of the best decisions my wife and I made during our home-buying journey. From the very beginning, it was clear that Jeff wasn’t just focused on making a sale—he was genuinely invested in our long-term happiness, satisfaction, and peace of mind. One of Jeff’s greatest strengths is his knowledge of a home’s structural integrity. He was able to walk us through potential pitfalls that many buyers overlook, such as cosmetic upgrades meant to mask deeper issues. His ability to identify these “makeover traps” and explain them in simple terms gave us tremendous confidence and reassurance throughout the process. Jeff’s approach is refreshingly client-focused. While many realtors rush to close deals, Jeff was patient and deliberate. Even during times when my wife and I were indecisive, he never pressured us. Instead, he listened carefully, offered thoughtful counsel, and provided perspectives that helped us weigh our options clearly. His calm demeanor made the entire experience less stressful and, at times, even enjoyable. He also went above and beyond with his recommendations—connecting us with resources and strategies that made the buying process smoother than we could have imagined. These small but impactful suggestions added up and saved us both time and stress. Having worked with other realtors in the past, I can say with certainty that Jeff stands out. Too often, realtors can come across as abrupt, impatient, or overly pushy. Jeff is the complete opposite: down-to-earth, approachable, and respectful. He strikes the perfect balance between guiding you in the right direction and allowing you the space to make your own decisions. On top of that, his ability to teach us about different aspects of a house along the way made us feel more informed as buyers. In short, Jeff is not only a realtor but also a trusted advisor and partner throughout the home-buying process. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone in Connecticut who is considering buying or selling a property. Whether it’s friends, family, or colleagues, I would feel confident knowing they would be in excellent hands with Jeff. If you are looking for someone who combines deep expertise, patience, integrity, and a genuine care for his clients, then Jeff is your realtor.”
“Luke was fantastic to work with. Always responsive and helped guide us through the entire process of buying our first home! Could not recommend Luke enough as he will always have your back!”
“Antonio did an amazing job! He helped us find the house of our dreams and sell our condo. Antonio was great at communicating with us throughout the buy and sell process. Antonio is very knowledgeable and professional. He listens to his clients’ needs and pays attention to the detail throughout the buy and sell process. It was a great experience working with Antonio.”
“Mr. Ceylan successfully sold my property in Danbury, CT, and it was one of the best experiences I have ever had working with a mature and experienced realtor. Not only did he sell my property above the asking price, but the transaction was also the smoothest and most transparent I've ever encountered. Mr. Ceylan's honest and trustworthy communication made a significant difference throughout the process. His exceptional skills and professionalism have earned my highest recommendation, and I would not hesitate to refer him to my friends and family.”
“Tyler did a fantastic job finding my family a new, beautiful apartment within weeks. He was supportive and responsive to our specific needs and changing requirements for housing. He made this experience so easy and was there for us every step of the way. I cannot recommend him enough!”
