🎬 WEDNESDAY REEL | Neighborhood: What Meriden's Market Looks Like Right Now

Numbers, not opinions. Here's what Redfin's latest data says about buying in Meriden this fall.

The average home here gets 3 offers and sells for roughly 3% above asking. Push into hot-home territory and that jumps to about 8% above list, often within 12 days. Homes are sitting on the market for 36 days on average citywide, about the same pace as last year.

Redfin scores Meriden a 76 out of 100 on its Compete Score, calling it a very competitive market. Just under three-quarters of homes here (72.4%) are selling above list price.

If you're waiting for the market to slow down before you make a move, the data says it hasn't yet. πŸ‘‡
