Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026 - Aug 2026).
Inventory in Darien has expanded in this rolling three-month view, with active listings up more than 20% year over year and months of supply climbing to 2.5, a roughly 63% increase. Despite this added selection, homes are still moving at a steady pace, with about 90 homes sold and 90 pending sales over the period.
Pricing has pushed higher over the past year, as the typical home value is up more than 12% even while the median list price has risen at a slower pace of about 4%. At the same time, sellers are no longer seeing the same bidding intensity, with the share of homes sold above list dropping more than 20% from a year ago and the average sale-to-list ratio hovering just under 100%.
Conditions suggest sellers still hold an edge, but buyers are gaining leverage as supply grows and days on market edge up to around six weeks. To navigate these shifting trends and make the most of current pricing, both buyers and sellers can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who knows the Darien market well.

“Was impressed from the beginning when the owner answered the phone and made an appointment within a day or two to come out to the property. When we decided to put the house on the market, they were extremely professional And answered all our questions. The photographer came out promptly, and took amazing pictures of the property. It was listed the next day,and our house sold in less than a week. Andrew McCatty was our broker. He could not have been more knowledgeable or professional. Any questions that we had, Andrew either answered the phone or got back to us very quickly. Highly recommend Andrew and Century 21 Circle. Would only work with them again and would recommend them to family and friends.”

“I previously used Jeffry Phillips to sell a house I inherited. It was a very emotional time and he was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and gave suggestions of things that could be done to the house prior to selling it. Because that experience was so positive and he was so professional I utilized his services when it was time for me to sell my house. When it came time to sell my home, he was professional and extremely knowledgeable about the Garfield Ridge neighborhood. I would highly recommend him to any of my friends family, and neighbors if they are buying or selling a house.”
