A real, moderate year-over-year gain

Zillow's average home value ran $510,823 as of February 2026, up a real 5.1% year-over-year -- Cheshire's primary housing figure in this record (base record).

A real, disclosed multi-source spread

Redfin cited a $522K median sale price for March 2026 (alongside a -6.8% YoY reading that same pass), Homes.com cited $509,000 (May 2026), and Movoto cited a notably higher $680K median LIST price (May 2026) -- all kept rather than reconciled to one figure (base record).

Genuinely higher-cost than many neighboring New Haven County towns

Cheshire's housing costs run consistent with its affluent bedroom-community identity on the I-691 corridor -- genuinely higher than many surrounding New Haven County markets (base record).
