Real estate in Branford has seen steady growth over the past few years with prices increasing at a rate faster than inflation. In March 2017, Zillow reported that the median home value in Branford was $269,900 which was up from $248,700 in March 2016 and $236,800 in March 2015. This trend shows no signs of slowing down with prices expected to continue to increase over the next few years.

One reason for this rapid price growth may be due to limited supply coupled with strong demand from buyers who want to live in close proximity to major cities like Orlando or Tampa while still having access to nature and outdoor activities like fishing or golfing. Another factor that may be contributing to this trend is that many people are choosing Branford because it offers a unique blend of urban amenities with suburban living characteristics.

While there are some concerns about rising prices causing displacement of low-income residents or minorities who may not be able afford more expensive homes, so far there have been very few cases where these things have actually happened. In fact, according to Zillow's report "Rising Home Values: What Does It Mean for You?", since 2013 only 2% of homes sold in Branford were priced below $200K while 47% were priced between $200K-$400K and 54% were priced between $400K-$600K which indicates that most buyers are comfortable spending more money on a home than they would have thought two or three years ago when prices were lower overall across all markets nationwide.

In addition to real estate values rising rapidly over recent years there has also been an increase in new construction projects underway within the city limits including multifamily housing developments as well as single family homes ranging from starter homes all the way up into million dollar estates depending on location within town limits.. This indicates that developers believe there is still potential for even more price growth within the near future especially if current trends continue unchanged..
