"April 2026 was defined by price gains and a lack of inventory in Greenwich," stated Brian Amen, GAR 2026 President. "We saw a 46.60% increase in the median sales price for condo/co-ops and a 23.08% increase for single-family homes, confirming buyer competition. This demand is reducing our available housing inventory, with single-family inventory dropping 38.1% and condo/co-op inventory down nearly 29%. The 36.07% decrease in Days On Market for single-family properties further confirms that buyers must act quickly in this highly competitive environment. "
