New Haven, Connecticut Metro Area Top 5 Home Sales: Madison Shoreline Home Leads at $1.5 Million

Three shoreline homes and two on more than two acres made the list, from a just-built waterfront home to a Colonial dating from the 1980s.

New Haven, Connecticut Metro Area Top 5 Home Sales: Madison Shoreline Home Leads at $1.5 Million

These were the highest-priced home sales reported in the New Haven metro area for the week ending October 11, 2026, and together the five sold for a combined $5.808 million. Each sale was in a different town, Madison, Guilford, East Haven, Southbury and Oxford, and all five are in New Haven County.

Every home on the list has four bedrooms. The group runs from a newly built home on the water in East Haven to properties of more than two acres in Southbury and Oxford, and in two of the five sales the same agent was on both sides.

No. 1 — $1,528,000 · 9 Bassett Lane, Madison, Connecticut

Top home sale No. 1 in the New Haven metro area β€” 9 Bassett Lane, Madison, Connecticut, week ending October 11, 2026

The top sale of the week was a home in Madison’s Seafields Association, a beach community where residents have access to the water and the home itself has water views. The Colonial at 9 Bassett Lane sold for $1,528,000. It stands on a level corner lot of 0.46 acres and was built in 2008, and it pairs the character of a shoreline cottage with renovated, updated interiors.

The home has 2,576 square feet, four bedrooms and four bathrooms, three full and one half. The primary suite is on the main level, and three more bedrooms are on the second floor, along with a flex room that can serve as an office, a den or a spare room for guests. A sunroom brings in natural light, and the backyard is fenced. Madison Center, with its restaurants and shops, is a few minutes away. The property last sold for $950,000 in 2025.

Christine A. Green of Ardor Real Estate was the listing agent, and Michael Hvizdo of Coldwell Banker Realty represented the buyer.

In the Mulberry Point section of Guilford, a Mediterranean-style Colonial at 122 Lower Road sold for $1,235,000. Built in 2004 and finished in stone and stucco, it is the largest home on this week’s list, with 4,848 square feet.
