Navigating a Balanced Market in Litchfield Park
The Litchfield Park real estate landscape is showing clear signs of stabilization. As of March 2026, the data indicates a move away from the frantic pace of previous years toward a more neutral environment where neither buyers nor sellers hold a distinct advantage.
Sales Volume and Velocity
We have observed a noticeable dip in recent activity. Total homes sold dropped from 55 in the previous month to 45, representing an 18% decrease. Additionally, the average days on market (DOM) has climbed to 135 days, a significant increase from the 117-day average seen at the end of January.
Key Insights:
-
Buyer Flexibility: With fewer people lining up for every listing, buyers now have more "latitude" and time to make informed decisions.
-
Seller Strategy: Houses are no longer "selling themselves" instantly; success now depends heavily on price and condition.
-
Pending Pipeline: Pending sales fell 15% month-over-month, echoing the general trend of slowing activity in the Litchfield Park area.
Inventory and Absorption Rates
Inventory levels are the most telling metric this month. Litchfield Park currently has 277 active listings, which is a 9% increase from January and a substantial 17% increase compared to February 2025.
Key Insights:
-
Absorption Rate: The market currently sits at a 5.21-month supply, up from 4.57 months in December.
-
Market Health: Since a "balanced market" is typically defined as having a 4 to 6-month supply, Litchfield Park is now firmly in that healthy, neutral zone.

Hey, Tim Downs here, WestUSA Realty. This is your Litchfield Park real estate market update for March 2026. So let's talk sales volume. At the end of the month it was 45 total homes sold in the Litchfield Park area, which was actually down from 55 from the previous month. So this is an 18 percent decrease. So something to bear in mind if you're going to, if you're looking to sell your house, that these houses aren't necessarily going to sell themselves as quickly as they have in the past.
And if you're on the buyer's side, looks like you may have a little added flexibility when it comes to time frames. You won't have necessarily so many people lining up to buy that house. So now let's look into the pipeline of the houses that are pending. End of February the number was 34. This actually represents a 15 percent decrease from the month prior where it was around 40. So obviously it looks like the activity is slowing down a little bit in the Litchfield Park area.
So this number is actually up about 13 percent on the 90 day trend, but it's actually quite a bit significantly down from the end of January where we had about 54. The year over year numbers though show about a 15 percent decrease from this time last year where we were at about 40. So all in all it looks like the activity is slowing down a little bit in comparison to last year.
All right so let's talk inventory. End of February we had about 277 homes on the active inventory list for Litchfield Park. That number is actually up about nine percent from the end of January and it's up about ten percent from the end of December. So active inventory is starting to increase a little bit for Litchfield Park. The year to year number is even more interesting. End of February 2025 we're about 237. So in comparison to that 277 that we have we're talking about a 17 percent increase year over year.
More homes that are in the inventory. So obviously if you're in the buyer's market you have quite a bit more to select from as you did a year ago. Adding a little bit more latitude as far as what kind of decision you want to make on the home that you want to put an offer in on. Let's look at absorption rate. At the end of February we're about 5.21 months. This is up from 4.57 at the end of December.
So that absorption rate that inventory level obviously it's starting to bump up we saw that in the active inventory numbers but a lot more houses coming into the market providing a little bit more inventory and a lot more time that it would take to absorb all of that inventory. In real estate terms four to six months is that balanced market range. So in this kind of a market it really comes down to price and condition. Seller, buyer, nobody really has the advantage.
All right so let's talk about average days on market. At the end of February we're at 135 days which was up about 15 percent. The end of January which was 117 days. And that 90 day trend end of December it was about 120 days. So we're seeing about 15 day increase as far as average days on market. Obviously about two weeks here. So not a massive shift but it is something to bear in mind if you're looking to sell your house. Might sit on the market a little bit longer than it did a year ago.
So let's talk about the market heartbeat for Litchfield Park. The most active price point is between the four hundred and five hundred thousand dollar price range. This represents 36 percent of all sales and 23 percent of all active inventory. So if your house falls within this price range 36 percent of all sales fall within it. So you're likely going to see much of the averages bear out in your home. If it's outside of it you might see even more fluctuating numbers.
But something to bear in mind anytime that you wanted to list your house of what is the most active segment. In this in this situation Litchfield Park 400 to 500 is the most active.
