According to Redfin's Naugatuck housing market page (data for Sep 2026):
Median sale price is up 3.5% year over year. Monthly medians can swing with a handful of sales, so treat them as a guide. Zack builds a list price from recent comparable Naugatuck closings, not from a number you hope to see.
For context, the U.S. Census Bureau reports a 67.8% owner-occupied housing rate and a median owner-occupied home value of $259,100 for Naugatuck in its 2020-2024 estimates. That is a survey-based figure across all owner-occupied homes, not a price for a specific house.
Naugatuck is made up of distinct sections. Areas buyers recognize include Union City, Straitsville, Millville, and Salem Bridge. Naugatuck covers about 16.3 square miles, and buyers often shop by location, so Zack looks at comparable sales in your part of Naugatuck first, then widens the search.
Naugatuck is the only consolidated town and borough in Connecticut. The U.S. Rubber Company was formed here in 1892, and Naugahyde was introduced in 1936.

Listing fee: With Zack, the listing fee is 1% plus a $400 transaction fee. On a $365,000 sale, that is $3,650 plus $400, or $4,050. The 1% is the listing-side fee only; compensation for a buyer's agent is separate and negotiable, and all fees are negotiable.
Conveyance tax: Connecticut sellers pay a state conveyance tax and a municipal conveyance tax. The state rate on a residential dwelling is 0.75% of the first $800,000 of the price. The municipal rate in Naugatuck is the standard 0.25%. Source: Connecticut Office of Legislative Research.
The $365,000 figure is illustrative, not a prediction of your sale price. Rates can change, so confirm current figures with your closing attorney before you sign a contract. For a wider cost breakdown, read the cost to sell a house in Connecticut.
Under Connecticut General Statutes sections 20-327b and 20-327c, most sellers of residential property must give a buyer a written residential condition report before the buyer signs a purchase contract. If the report is not provided, the seller must credit the buyer $500 at closing. Taking the credit does not excuse a seller from disclosing a known defect that significantly impairs the property's value, the health or safety of future occupants, or its useful life. Certain transfers are exempt from the report requirement. Ask your closing attorney which rules apply to your sale.

Redfin reported a median sale price of $364,726, a median of 43 days on market and 101 homes sold in Naugatuck for Sep 2026. Individual homes vary by price, condition and location, so a median is a guide and not a promise.
With Zack, the listing fee is 1% plus a $400 transaction fee. Sellers also pay Connecticut conveyance taxes: a tiered state tax (0.75% on the first $800,000 of a residential sale) plus a municipal tax, which is 0.25% in Naugatuck, plus attorney and closing costs. Buyer's agent compensation is separate and negotiable, and all fees are negotiable.
Most residential sellers must provide a written residential condition report before the buyer signs a contract. If you do not, the seller owes the buyer a $500 credit at closing, and that credit does not excuse disclosing known material defects. Your closing attorney can confirm what applies to you.
