🏡 Most Connecticut Homeowners Couldn't Afford to Buy Their Own House Today

Home values have skyrocketed over the last several years, but incomes haven't kept pace. In many cases, homeowners who bought just 5–10 years ago wouldn't qualify to purchase the same home at today's price and interest rates.
That's not necessarily a housing bubble—it's a reflection of how quickly affordability has changed.
Have you checked how much your home is worth today? You might be surprised.

A home's list price and sales price are not the same thing.
The list price creates demand.
The sales price is where the buyer lands.
That's why some homes sell above asking price while others sit on the market and require price reductions.
Understanding the difference can help sellers make smarter pricing decisions and maximize their results.
