Stratford Downtown’s rolling three-month snapshot through September 2026 shows some dramatic month-to-month shifts, with median list prices jumping sharply while sale prices pulled back. The typical home value is around $184,900, down more than half from the prior three‑month period, yet the median list price has surged to about $419,700. Active listings increased about two‑thirds month over month to 13, and new listings climbed 60 percent, indicating more sellers are coming to market. Pending sales also rose strongly, up 150 percent over the prior period, signaling that buyers are still engaging despite pricing volatility.
Looking at the same three‑month window a year ago adds perspective. Median list prices are now more than double their level a year earlier, and active listings have risen by roughly 119 percent, giving buyers more options than last year. New listings are up about 169 percent year over year, while pending sales have surged about 152 percent, pointing to a busier pipeline of transactions.
Conditions have shifted from extremely tight inventory to a still seller‑leaning market, with months of supply rising year over year from around 1.1 to 2.6. Homes are taking longer to sell, with median days on market climbing to 85, up 44 percent from last year’s rolling period. Only 20 percent of recent sales closed above list price, down sharply from last year, and the average sale‑to‑list ratio has eased to about 97.5 percent.
