National Rents Are Falling — But Not Everywhere in Connecticut

Rental prices are shifting across the country, and Connecticut is
no exception. In this episode, we begin with a breakdown of
national rental trends, including the 21-month streak of
declining rents and the impact of new multifamily construction on
affordability. We then pivot to the latest data from SmartMLS,
highlighting statewide figures such as the $2,200 median rent,
increased leasing activity, and rising price per square foot.
You'll also hear a city-by-city look at places like Stamford, New
Haven, and Bridgeport, plus how specific zip codes are
experiencing vastly different rent levels. Most importantly, we
explain why state and national trends can be misleading — and why
your local zip code tells the real story. Whether you’re renting,
investing, or just staying informed, this episode gives you the
context you need to navigate today’s housing market.
