Prefer the quick version? Here's a snapshot of the December 2025 Wilton Market Update:
🏠 Prices surged year-over-year – Median sales price is $1.33M, down 5.59% from November's $1.41M, but up a remarkable 42.25% from last year's $935K. Average sales price is $1.42M, up 6.09% from November's $1.34M, and up 7.47% from last year's $1.32M. Historic December performance.
⚡ Homes selling lightning-fast – Average days on market plummeted to 35 days, down 56.25% from November's 80 days, and down 44.44% from last year's 63 days. Fastest December on record.
📦 Inventory holding steady – 24 homes for sale, up 9.09% from last month's 22, and up 4.35% from last year's 23. Month's supply of inventory at 3 months signals more balanced conditions.
📉 Sales dropped to December low – 8 homes closed in December, down 42.86% from November's 14, and down 61.90% from last year's 21. Slowest December in three years despite strong pricing.
What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know
✨ Sellers: Exceptional pricing power with median up 42% year-over-year and homes selling above list (107.68% ratio). Lightning-fast 35-day DOM means well-priced homes fly, but low sales volume reflects selective buyers.
🔍 Buyers: Premium pricing with price per square foot up 12% year-over-year, but increased inventory and slower absorption rate offer better selection. Quick decisions still critical—35-day DOM means hesitation costs opportunities.
