Still Over Asking?Yes, Almost Everywhere.
If you're getting ready to list and you're wondering whether buyers still have any leverage left, here's the short version: not much. Sellers are still winning the negotiation across most of this territory, and the numbers back it up plainly.
Across the twelve weeks ending October 11, 2026, the territory's sale-to-list ratio sits at about 102%, and about 66% of sales closed above the asking price. That's not a pocket of competition in one town. That's the baseline almost everywhere you look.
Enfield is a clear example. The average sale-to-list ratio there ran about 104%.
Twelve weeks ending October 11, 2026
Enfield's median sale price also rose to $351,250, up about 5% from a year earlier.
Windsor tells a similar story. The average sale-to-list ratio there came in around 103%, and about 76% of homes sold above asking there.
Windsor's median sale price rose to $388,413, up about 11% from a year earlier.
South Windsor rounds out the strongest cluster, with an average sale-to-list ratio of about 103% there.
Roughly 67% of South Windsor's sales went over asking.
But the territory is not uniform, and that's the part worth sitting with before you set an expectation for your own town. In East Longmeadow, the median sale price rose about 5% year over year.
Meanwhile East Longmeadow's average sale-to-list ratio fell by about 1 percentage point compared with a year earlier. Homes there are fetching more money, and sellers are conceding a little more to get the deal done. Price and leverage are not always moving the same direction, even inside one strong market.
There's a similar wrinkle in how fast homes are finding a buyer. In Somers, the median days to pending ran about 107 days.
In Windsor Locks, the median days to pending ran about 10 days. Both towns sit inside the same general territory and the same overall pricing-power story, but a buyer shopping Somers is operating on a completely different clock than one shopping Windsor Locks.
What this looks like in real life: if you're selling in Enfield, Windsor, or South Windsor, you can reasonably expect multiple offers and a price that lands above your list number, with little room for a buyer to negotiate you down afterward. If you're selling in a slower-moving town like Somers, the same pricing strength may hold once an offer comes in, but it could take longer to get there. And if you're in East Longmeadow, don't assume a strong sale price means you'll also get a clean, no-concession deal; the two have been moving apart there lately.
What would change this read going forward is simple: watch whether the over-ask share and the sale-to-list ratio hold up in the next reporting period, particularly in East Longmeadow where the two measures have started to pull apart. If that gap widens elsewhere, it would suggest sellers are starting to give ground even while headline prices stay firm.
