Darien’s Luxury Home Market Hits Record Highs in 2025

The numbers are in, and they’re not just impressive—they’re historic. Darien, Connecticut, one of the crown jewels of Fairfield County, is experiencing a luxury market surge that turns heads even in high-end circles. According to the latest data, the median single-family home price has jumped 93.6% compared to last May, skyrocketing to a jaw-dropping $2.82 million.

This isn’t just a blip on the radar—it’s a strong indicator that affluent buyers are betting big on Darien.

Why Darien is Dominating

✅ Inventory is Up, But Not Enough:

New listings rose 52% year-over-year, but demand has outpaced supply. With just 1.9 months of inventory, the market remains tight—driving bidding wars and higher prices.

✅ Homes Are Flying Off the Market:
The average days on market dropped 48.8%, from 41 days to just 21 days. Luxury homes in Darien are not only commanding top dollar—they're selling at lightning speed.

✅ Over Asking is the New Norm:

Sellers received 109.1% of their asking price on average, a 6.4% increase. That’s not a typo—homes are regularly selling above list price, thanks to a competitive luxury buyer pool.

✅ Year-to-Date Strength:

From January to May, closed sales are up over 42% and pending sales climbed nearly 40%. Median prices for the year sit at $2.53 million, with average sales prices over $2.86 million.

Townhomes & Condos: Small Market, Big Punch

While the single-family segment gets the spotlight, Darien’s upscale townhouse and condo market also posted gains. The median price rose 20.8% year-over-year, hitting $1.05 million. Sellers received an astounding 111.9% of list price, showing strong buyer appetite for low-maintenance luxury.

The Bottom Line

If you're thinking of selling your home in Darien—or investing in one—this is the moment to move. The luxury market here isn’t cooling off, it’s heating up. With limited inventory, surging prices, and hyper-motivated buyers, waiting could mean leaving money on the table.
