wolcott

The Town of Wolcott, originally known as Farmingbury, was founded in 1796 and is named after Governor Oliver Wolcott, who cast the deciding vote in favor of the Town’s incorporation. Wolcott is a residential community with a land area of 21.6 square miles and a population of approximately 16,200. We are located in northern New Haven County, and are a short ride to either Hartford or New Haven.

Among Wolcott’s most famous residents are Seth Thomas, who made his first clock in Wolcott and Amos Bronson Alcott, an educator philosopher, and poet whose equally famous daughter, Louisa May Alcott, was the author of Little Women.

Wolcott has 5 schools; 3 elementary, 1 middle school and 1 high school. We have a newly constructed Youth Center and Sports Complex. Our other recreational areas include Woodtick Recreational Area, Farmingbury Hills Golf Course and Peterson Park. Wolcott has 5 large bodies of water; most of the lakes/reservoirs are now privately owned by residential communities, but Woodtick Recreational Area is Town-owned and open to the public.

LAST MONTH’S DATA COMPARED TO PREVIOUS TWO YEARS

  • The industry considers Median Sales Price a more accurate look at home prices than average because it eliminates the outliers that can skew data.

  • Low inventory (new & active listings) can lead to a sellers market, especially if pending & sold listings are up. The opposite, high inventory and low sales will lead to a buyers market.

  • Months of inventory reflects an estimate of the amount of time it would take to sell all of the current listings in a given area.  Six months is considered a ‘balanced’ market. Anything under 6 months is considered a sellers market and anything above is a buyers market.
