“Sixteen years ago, Rose Riordan helped us buy our first home in the suburbs. When it was time to sell that house and move to a city condo, she was our first and only choice. Rose handled the entire transition flawlessly. She was always available and easy to reach whenever we had questions or need her opinion throughout the process. We highly recommend her services when selling or buying a home!”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).
Darien’s rolling three-month data through June 2026 shows a pickup in inventory and steady contract activity. Active listings are up compared with a year ago, reaching 165 homes, while new listings have also edged higher year over year, giving buyers more options even as the market still leans toward sellers with about 2.3 months of supply.
Pricing has been moving upward in response to this demand. The typical home value over the latest three-month period is about 11% higher than a year earlier, and the median list price is also up year over year, pointing to solid price appreciation.
Conditions at the offer stage highlight firm but not overheated competition. Roughly 49% of recent sales closed above asking price and the average sale-to-list ratio is slightly above 101%, indicating that many buyers are still bidding close to or over list while sellers see modest premiums. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting dynamics can turn to Agent Pronto to find an agent who understands the Darien market.

“Kim made the proper assessment of house value. She arranged house viewing for the prospective buyers and then selectied the most qualified oness to propose the buying offer. All that was done orderly and in a very short time. As a result the house was sold within three days and at a price much exceeding the asking one. I am very thankfull to Kim.”
“My family and I were very fortunate to have the support of Brittany during the selling of our condo. She's professional, knowledgeable and personable which minimized the stress of the process for us. I would definitely recommend her services to family and friends! Thank you again Brittany for being apart of this journey with us!!”
“We were very pleased. We received an above asking offer after just a few showings. Also the pictures in the listing made me sad I was leaving what was to be our forever home.”
“Originally we were referred by our first lender and we could not have been more fortunate to work with Vicky and Sam. They were professional and realistic regarding our home search. We had not purchased a home in a very long time and Vicky was patient and understanding and was so attentive. avidly referred us to our second lender (the first was not communicative) and it was wonderful. Overall the whole experience was great! Thank you for helping us find our dream home!”
“Working with Tracy to buy our home was a great experience and she was always available and communicative even as we navigated some difficult parts of the negotiation with the seller. She was personally at every visit and even at the inspection and closing, going way above and beyond my expectations and previous experiences with buying agents. Thanks to her we found a home for our family and while we don't plan to buy in the near future I'd be happy to work with her again and again. Thanks Tracy!”
“Barb was 1/20 realtors who was willing to work with me in the beginning over 9 years ago. This is when I first purchased my home. I was cheap buyer. It went without saying I was going to be using her for the sale of the home 9 years later. She handled the hurdles flawlessly and talked me through and coached me the entire way. To say I appreciate her is an understatement. I sold my home after we relocated it of state and she coordinated every logistic of that sale on my behalf to he best of her ability. I recommend her without fail and would point every person in her direction that has a need for a solid realtor.”
“Kathy fought a lot of uphill battles for us and despite hurdles at every turn (with prospective buyer) she pushed on and was able to secure our sale. I can't thank her enough for the amount of work she put in.”
“It was a joy to work with Kathryn she was able to answer every question I had, her knowledge goes a long way and I will definitely recommend her to friends and family.”
“Heather was very helpful from beginning to end even with the struggles and challenges we gave her.”
“To be honest Ralph was the best part of my team. He's a good person and if it wasn't for him I wouldn't know half of what I know about buying a house Thanks Ralph”
“We relocated from an area where we had lived our entire lives, and the prospect of moving to another state can often be quite challenging. However, our experience with Kimberly was exceptionally smooth and seamless. Her expertise, combined with the thoughtful and tailored feedback she provided based on our specific criteria, proved invaluable throughout the entire process. She conducted herself with the utmost professionalism while also making us feel genuinely supported, as though we were family. We would highly recommend her to any prospective buyers or sellers seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate professional.”
“Our house could be considered high end property in the neighborhood. Cinny worked hard to get it under the contract in a week and sold our house a little over a month. We are happy about the result. During the process, there were ups and downs which made us nervious. Cinny listened to our concerns and gave us professional advice.”
“Dayana is the realtor for the buyer looking to purchase in a seller's market. Her expertise was the key to our acquiring the property we now own. From showing us various properties, to continually checking in with us, to putting together a competitive and timely offer, to connecting us with a good attorney, to negotiating the terms of the contract, and otherwise guiding us through the process, Dayana was the best. Thank you Dayana!”
“Shawn is a perfect example of everything a new homeowner could want in a realtor. He's patient, informative and passionate about helping you find the right home. Shawn goes the extra mile in preparing detailed documents on every listing you visit and has a vast knowledge of property pros and cons. You also know you'll get a honest and trustworthy professional at your side when you work with him. I can't recommend Shawn enough!”
“Would use Lizette again, very easy to work with & very professional. Would recommend here 100% to Friends.”
“Before using Jeffry as my agent, I had looked at several homes with 3 other agents for almost a year. Within 2 months of working with Jeffry, we found the home that I had been looking for and was the perfect fit.”
“Mike is professional, extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with”
“Great to work with in all respects, from start to finish!”
“Dan was very professional throughout the entire process. He was knowledgeable about the neighborhood and broader trends and we were able to respond quickly to market conditions. Dan is very fair, honest, and trustworthy. He is also candid about the condition of the property but strives to get the most value possible for the seller out of the sale. He hired a professional photographer which helped with marketing the property and bringing out its best features. We would recommend Dan to our family and friends.”
