MLS records show three sales since 2018, with closed prices ranging from $732,500 to $800,000. At roughly $455 per square foot, Cranberry Court sits well below the broader New Canaan real estate town median of $2,080,000, which reflects the single-family market.

Cranberry Court Condos for Sale

Active listings at Cranberry Court are uncommon. A four-unit building has inherent scarcity, and owners here have historically held their units for several years between sales. If you are tracking New Canaan CT condos and Cranberry Court is a target, waiting for a public listing is a slow strategy. The better approach is to have someone monitoring off-market signals and owner activity in advance. Contact The Engel Team directly if Cranberry Court is on your list. Availability changes quickly in a building this small, and properties that surface without broad marketing do not stay open long.

Recently Sold at Cranberry Court

MLS records show three verified sales at Cranberry Court. Closed prices ranged from $732,500 to $800,000, with a median of $740,000. Units ranged from 1,539 to 1,757 square feet, and the median price per square foot came in at approximately $455. The two 2021 sales are the most useful comps for current pricing, given how much the broader market has moved since 2018.

Three sales in roughly three years is thin for establishing a reliable current value. The 2021 comps are the pricing anchors, but they are now several years old in a market that has moved considerably. Any buyer writing an offer here should treat those numbers as a floor, not a ceiling, and any seller pricing a unit here needs a careful read of what comparable square footage is doing across New Canaan’s broader condo inventory today. The Engel Team can provide that analysis.

About Cranberry Court

Cranberry Court was built between 1972 and 1973 and contains four condominium units at 246 Park Street in New Canaan, CT. The building’s penthouse-style configuration distinguishes it from the garden-style and townhouse complexes that make up most of New Canaan’s smaller condominium supply. At four units, this is not a managed community with a professional HOA office and a long list of association services. It is a small, owner-occupied building where each resident has a direct stake in how the building operates and how it is maintained. That dynamic tends to attract buyers who want the simplicity of condo ownership without the anonymity of a larger complex.

Homes and Layouts at Cranberry Court

Units at Cranberry Court come in two configurations: two-bedroom, two-bath units at approximately 1,539 square feet, and three-bedroom units at approximately 1,757 square feet. The three-bedroom units have sold in both two-bath and three-bath configurations, suggesting some variation in finish or layout between units. At 1,539 to 1,757 square feet, these are genuinely livable floor plans, not compressed urban footprints. The penthouse style designation points to upper-floor positioning, which typically means improved light, reduced street noise, and separation from ground-level traffic on Park Street. Specific parking arrangements and outdoor space details should be confirmed with the listing documentation or directly with the association.

What Buyers Need to Know

The HOA fee at Cranberry Court is $585 per month. For a four-unit building built in 1972, the first question any buyer should ask is about the reserve fund. Small associations often carry lean reserves because the monthly contribution is spread across very few owners. If the building needs a roof, an elevator, a major mechanical system, or exterior work, four owners are covering that cost. Ask for the current reserve study, the reserve balance, and the association’s assessment history before writing an offer.

Property taxes on the two-bedroom unit run approximately $8,853 per year, based on the most recent verified sale. The three-bedroom unit carried $9,046 per year at the 2021 sale. Tax figures may have adjusted since then and should be confirmed with the town assessor.

With only four units, the owner-occupancy ratio is worth confirming. Most conventional mortgage lenders require a minimum owner-occupancy rate for condo financing. In a building this small, one rental unit can affect financing eligibility for buyers using conventional loans. Verify current occupancy before assuming standard financing terms apply.

Renovation variation is also a realistic factor here. In a building with this few sales over this many years, the gap between a unit that was updated in 2021 and one that has not been touched since the 1990s can be significant. Request photos and disclosure materials for the specific unit, not just sales comps from neighboring units.

Rental policy and pet rules are not publicly documented in MLS records. Both should be confirmed through the association documents, which any buyer is entitled to review before closing. Building age also raises the question of original mechanical systems. HVAC, plumbing, and electrical all merit scrutiny in a structure built in the early 1970s, regardless of cosmetic condition.

Buying or Selling at Cranberry Court

If you are buying at Cranberry Court, the combination of thin comp history and low turnover makes independent valuation essential. The three recorded sales span 2018 to 2021, and the market has shifted materially since then. Knowing where this building sits relative to current New Canaan homes for sale requires someone with active transaction experience in this specific condo segment, not just a pull from Zillow.

If you are selling at Cranberry Court, the same scarcity that makes buying difficult works in your favor. Four-unit buildings with penthouse configurations on Park Street do not surface often. Buyers who have been waiting for something in this tier of the New Canaan condo market will move quickly when a unit does appear. Pricing it correctly from day one matters more here than in a complex with forty comparable units and a six-month sales history.

The Engel Team covers the New Canaan condo market with current data, off-market awareness, and direct experience with small-association buildings where standard comps are not enough. Whether you are trying to get into Cranberry Court or get out with the right number, reach out for a conversation before the next unit moves without you.
