Home sales in greater Hartford jumped in July — typically a slow summer month for purchases – as sellers who sat the sidelines at the start of the pandemic put out the “for sale” sign and eager buyers snapped up properties, a new report Monday shows.
Sales of single-family houses in greater Hartford rose nearly 8% in July compared with a year ago, pushing the median sale price — where half the sales are above, half below — up 7.5% to $285,000 from $265,000 for the same month a year ago, according to the monthly report from the Greater Hartford Association of Realtors, an industry group.
