In this week’s episode of Connecticut Real Estate Market Weekly Insights, we dive into the latest housing market data for single-family homes across the state. As of June 2025, the median sale price rose to $465,000, marking a 6.3% year-over-year increase, even as sales dipped by 3%. Buyer demand remains strong, with homes selling in a median of 14 days, and 36% of homes still selling over asking—though bidding wars are softening. Most transactions fall in the $200k–$599k range, and homes under $400k are seeing the fiercest competition due to tight inventory.

The state currently has 3.1 months of supply—still a seller’s market but slowly trending toward balance. Price drops have increased 16% from last year, indicating more realistic seller expectations. Migration trends show that while many Connecticut residents are relocating to states like Florida and the Carolinas, New York continues to be a major source of new buyers entering the state.

We also cover rising mortgage interest rates, which closed last week near 7% for 30-year fixed loans, and provide updates on Connecticut’s housing-related legislation. New CHFA guidelines now expand access to down payment assistance through income limit increases and regional eligibility changes. Meanwhile, a sweeping housing bill recently passed in the House introduces zoning reforms, transit-oriented development incentives, and tenant protections—setting the stage for expanded housing supply across the state.

Additional headlines include the nearing completion of Habitat for Humanity’s Burnside Hope development in East Hartford, efforts to address property neglect in New Haven, and the stalling of a rent cap bill aimed at protecting mobile home residents. On the national front, we discuss home price trends, a new VA Home Loan Reform Act, rising unemployment claims, and declining mortgage applications.

If you’re planning to buy or sell a home in Connecticut, these insights can help you make informed decisions in a shifting market.

This episode of The Triniyah Podcast dives deep into Connecticut’s proposed affordable housing bill, a major piece of legislation aimed at increasing housing supply and modernizing zoning laws. We explore why affordable housing has become such a critical issue in the state, and how the “Towns Take the Lead” initiative proposes to incentivize local governments to build more accessible housing. We explain what transit-oriented development means, why commercial properties might soon become homes, and how parking requirements are now part of a much bigger conversation. We also present both sides of the debate—from those who support more housing options to those concerned about local control and infrastructure readiness. Listeners will leave with a clearer, balanced understanding of what the bill includes, what’s at stake, and how it could impact their own communities.

In this timely episode of The Triniyah Podcast, we unpack Moody’s recent downgrade of the United States credit outlook and explore how it could impact the real estate landscape. We start by explaining why Moody’s made the change, highlighting the rising national debt, political gridlock, and fiscal instability that contributed to the decision.

From there, we clarify what a credit rating is and why changes to the U.S. government’s financial standing matter to everyday people—especially homebuyers, sellers, and homeowners. We examine how this downgrade can influence interest rates, tighten lending conditions, and create affordability challenges in today’s already complex housing market.

Whether you're considering buying, selling, or just keeping a close eye on market trends, this episode provides essential insights into what the downgrade means for your real estate goals—and what steps you should consider next. We also offer actionable guidance for navigating uncertainty and invite listeners to connect directly with our team for personalized support.

In this episode of The Triniyah Podcast, we break down the latest April 2025 data on the Connecticut condo market. While total sales dropped slightly year-over-year, prices continued to rise modestly, with the median sale price reaching $291,000. Properties are still moving quickly, especially in the $200,000–$399,000 range, which remains the most competitive segment with low inventory and high demand. The average sale price was 2.2% over asking, and most properties went under contract within two weeks.

We also explore buyer behavior by price range, inventory levels, and the effects of price reductions. The episode covers how condo features like bedroom count and square footage affect pricing and how most sellers make price adjustments around day 45 on the market.

On the legislative front, we discuss the uncertain future of Connecticut’s “just cause” eviction bill and zoning reform proposals, including “Towns Take the Lead” and the governor’s alternative “priority housing zones.” We examine how these initiatives may shape the housing landscape depending on upcoming votes.

The episode also highlights Connecticut’s innovative efforts to address housing shortages by converting vacant school buildings into residential units. We spotlight adaptive reuse projects in cities like Waterbury, New Haven, Meriden, New Britain, and Middletown that preserve historic architecture while adding housing inventory.

Locally, we review Waterbury’s proposed $446.6 million budget, including plans for a tax rate reduction, continued pension funding, and strong education support.

On the national level, we cover builder sentiment and construction data, with builder confidence declining due to high interest rates, tariffs, and material costs. Residential building permits and completions are down, while housing starts saw a slight uptick. We also examine Q1 2025 home price trends across the U.S., rising mortgage payments, and buyer attitudes around a potential recession, inventory challenges, and credit constraints.

In this episode of The Triniyah Podcast, we explore one of the most pressing challenges in real estate today: the nationwide shortage of existing homes for sale. While rising mortgage rates often dominate headlines, it’s the freeze in listings—from homeowners locked into ultra-low interest rates—that’s reshaping the entire housing landscape.

We dive into the root causes of the inventory dilemma, including why so many potential sellers are staying put, how this impacts pricing and competition, and what it means for both buyers and sellers trying to make decisions in today’s market. You'll hear practical, actionable advice for navigating these conditions—whether you're a buyer feeling squeezed by low inventory or a seller wondering if now is the right time to list.

We also answer the most common questions we’re hearing:
Should you wait to buy until rates go down?
Can you afford to sell and move into something new?
Is it still worth starting the homeownership journey if you’re currently renting?

Plus, we share why strategic planning over the next 12 to 24 months could be the key to turning today’s market challenges into future opportunities—and why working with the right real estate team can make all the difference.

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.
