Boston, September 9, 2015 – Connecticut recorded 3,415 single-family home sales in July, the most in a single month since August 2007, according to a new report from The Warren Group, publisher of The Commercial Record.

The sales signified an 8.2 percent increase from last year’s July total. There have been 15,775 sales so far in 2015, an 11.9 percent increase from the 14,050 sales through July 2014.

“Inventory is good in most areas and the pace of home sales has picked up while prices fall in tandem,” said Cassidy Murphy, editorial director of The Warren Group. “July’s numbers reflect the continued steady growth of the housing market this year.”
