The number of homes for sale in Naugatuck during August has declined 24% over the previous 2 years.  Close to 1,000 showings were booked for those 76 houses in August at the same time there were fewer houses were on the market.  One can only conclude that there are more buyers than sellers, therefore the reason for appreciating prices. 

Another factor considered in the strong home prices can be linked to the sustained low unemployment rate.  There are also fewer foreclosures on the market because the lending criteria and has been greatly improved since the 2008 housing crisis producing a sustainable ownership in comparison to the crash.

The market has cooled off and shifted somewhat compared to the last two years due to the variable and climbing interest rates.  However, the rates are still better than the double-digit rates of the 1990’s.
