Real estate, Stamford CT Market Watch

Updated November 1, 2026. Redfin reported the U.S. has 63% more sellers than buyers, the biggest imbalance since 2013. That is the national picture. In North Stamford, CT, the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted something else entirely for the three months ending August 31, 2026. Buyers there are still competing. Prices are still rising. And nearly two out of three homes sold above list price.

Stamford, CT is not one market. ZIP code 06903, which covers North Stamford, reads completely differently from Downtown Stamford or Harbor Point. If you are making decisions based on national news, you are working with the wrong map.

North Stamford, CT: what the numbers say

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 61 homes sold in ZIP 06903 during the three months ending August 31, 2026. The median sale price was $1,250,000, up 4% from the same period in 2025. Nearly two out of three homes sold above asking. The average sale came in at 106.5% of list price. That is not a market where buyers have the upper hand.

Days on market did tick up 6 days compared to last year. And homes sold were down 27.4% year over year. That slowdown is worth noting. It reflects fewer homes available to sell, not softer demand. New listings in ZIP 06903 fell 22.5% from a year ago, according to the Real Estate Data Aggregator. Less supply, not less interest.

How North Stamford compares to the rest of Stamford, CT

ZIP 06906, which covers part of Springdale, had the highest share of homes selling above list: 78.1%, up 14.5 points from a year ago, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. Median price there rose 9.5% to $660,000. That is a neighborhood worth watching.

ZIP 06902, which includes Harbor Point and Downtown Stamford, tells a more cautious story. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 2.7 months of supply there, the most of any Stamford ZIP in this data. Pending sales fell 30.6% from a year ago. More inventory, fewer buyers moving forward. Prices still rose 7.4% to a median of $731,000, but the pace of activity is slower.

Mortgage rates are not helping buyers

Freddie Mac put the 30-year fixed rate at 7.24% as of October 29, 2026. The 15-year fixed came in at 6.60%. Realtor.com reported that U.S. mortgage rates topped 7% for the week ending October 24, 2026. Higher rates slow buyers down. They also keep some sellers in place, which is part of why inventory stays low even as new listings tick up.
