Connecticut Real Estate Summary
Connecticut real estate has grown considerably over recent years. It is one of the smallest states as far as size, but it has a high population, due to the amount of New Yorkers that now live and commute from Connecticut on a daily basis. Since it is lower priced than New York and doesn´t have as inflated prices, Connecticut relocation is very popular.
Connecticut real estate is a stable market with growth in several areas. The statewide average for house prices is $265,000. Houses are on the market for 30-90 days before selling. New construction has slowed down, but continues in coastal towns and suburban areas to make way for new housing.
Hartford real estate continues to grow at an even level as the economy is still very strong. Jobs have been created in manufacturing and service industries, making for low unemployment statewide. Average sale price for houses in Hartford are $242,000.
