🏡 “Is That All, Folks?” Why CT’s Spring Listings May Have Peaked

June 10, 2025 | Market Trends | Presented by ReadySetLoan


As we cross into June, a surprising pattern is settling into the Connecticut housing market: new listings are slowing—and fast. Nationwide, spring saw a modest rebound, but experts fear that rebound may already be behind us. The question across Connecticut: Have sellers already called it quits for 2025?


🐷 RSL Piggy Points:

  • CT Homeowners Are Staying Put. Many are still locked into ultra-low interest rates from 2020–2021. Swapping a 3% mortgage for one over 6%? No thanks—unless there's a major life change.

  • Spring Momentum Has Stalled. While listings nationwide briefly bounced off winter lows, the usual spring surge came and went with far less impact than expected in places like Fairfield County, New Haven, and Hartford.

  • Fewer Homes, But Still No Seller Advantage. Inventory is low—but buyers are pickier. Overpriced listings? They’re sitting. Underprepared homes? Scrolling right past them.


🎤 Neil’s Take

From Neil Caron, Area Sales Manager at CMG Mortgage

“We’re seeing sellers hesitate—not because they don’t want to move, but because they’re weighing cost versus comfort. In Connecticut, many are opting to stay put rather than trade a great mortgage for a more expensive one, even if the new home fits better.”

📍 What Connecticut Sellers Should Know Right Now:

  • Don’t Wait for a Summer Surge. This might be the peak. If you're planning to list, move quickly—and price right from the start.

  • Prep Pays Off. Today’s buyer expects crisp photos, turnkey condition, and compelling listing copy. Don’t go to market half-baked.

  • Don’t Overestimate Your Leverage. With rates high, buyers are cautious. Be prepared to negotiate—and listen to real-time showing feedback.
