New homes in Connecticut.
Connecticut's real estate market experienced a remarkable reversal since 2020. After years of sluggish performance the state became one of the hottest markets in the country as New York City residents fled to Connecticut's spacious homes, excellent schools, and relative affordability. Fairfield County in particular — with its Metro-North rail access to Manhattan — saw bidding wars and price appreciation that had not been seen in decades.

Metro-North commuter rail connects Greenwich, Stamford, Westport, and other Fairfield County towns directly to Grand Central in 45-90 minutes. This access to New York employment at Connecticut prices is the core value proposition of southwestern CT real estate.
Property Taxes Vary Enormously by Town
Connecticut's property tax mill rates vary dramatically between municipalities. Greenwich and New Canaan have lower effective rates than Hartford or Bridgeport. Always calculate the annual tax bill for the specific property — state averages are misleading here.
Attorney Review Is Standard
Connecticut real estate closings are handled by attorneys on both sides. An attorney review period after contract signing is customary. Budget $800-$1,500 for attorney fees and build this into your closing cost estimate.
Top-Ranked Public Schools Drive Demand
Fairfield County towns like Darien, New Canaan, Westport, and Wilton consistently rank among the top public school districts in the nation. School quality is heavily priced into real estate in these communities.
Limited New Construction Statewide
Connecticut's restrictive local zoning severely limits new construction. Most buyers are competing for existing homes. This supply constraint is a structural driver of Connecticut's appreciation trend.
State Conveyance Tax Adds Up
Connecticut's state conveyance tax of 0.75% (rising to 1.25% above $800K) plus potential local conveyance taxes add meaningful cost to every transaction. Budget for this as a seller cost and understand it as a buyer when negotiating.
