A small raised ranch on Ridgeland Road in Wallingford that listed at $249,900 and sold for $265,00 is just one example of housing demand that started in 2020 and continued into this year.
âAs soon as I get a listing, I get four to eight bids,â said Joe Criscuolo, owner of The Home Store in Wallingford, who sold the home in October. âItâs a great time to be a seller, but also itâs a great time to be a buyer with interest rates as low as they are.â
