Connecticut Real Estate Market Weekly Insights (5-19-25)

In this episode of Connecticut Real Estate Market Weekly
Insights, we cover a wide range of market updates designed to
help buyers, sellers, investors, and renters stay informed. We
start with detailed sales data on Connecticut's two-, three-, and
four-family properties, highlighting median and average prices,
days on market, and sales-to-list price ratios. Listeners will
also hear an in-depth breakdown of current rental market trends
across one- to four-bedroom apartments, including average rents,
price per square foot, and time on the market.


We then spotlight state-funded affordable housing projects in New
Haven—Ella Blake Commons and West Ridge—and discuss how West
Hartford is expanding access through developments like The
Camelot. Listeners get a glimpse into how these projects are
funded, who they’re designed to serve, and how they fit into
broader statewide housing goals.


The episode also explains how Connecticut’s new housing laws are
promoting middle housing, streamlining zoning for affordable
projects, and adjusting property tax assessment methods. We
unpack how these changes could affect both housing supply and
property values across the state.


Nationally, we look at Gallup data showing that real estate
remains the most favored long-term investment in the U.S., while
confidence in stocks declines. We also review ongoing rent
declines across major U.S. metros, improving affordability in
some areas, and examine how rising property taxes in cities like
Tampa, Nashville, and Austin are impacting homeowners.


We wrap up by reminding listeners that real estate is local—and
knowing what’s happening in your own neighborhood is key. For
anyone looking to buy, sell, or assess their property’s value, we
offer a way to connect with our team directly.
