What counts as luxury real estate in Connecticut

The convention this site uses

In Connecticut, this site treats homes at $2M and above as luxury. That is our own fixed band, set so the covered markets are the ones where the top of the market actually trades at that level. It is not a loan limit and it is not a median; the medians below are the middle of each market, and luxury inventory trades well above them. The rule and its reasoning are on the methodology page.

What changes at this price in Connecticut

Each fact links to the statute or agency that says so. Facts we could not verify against an official source are left out rather than guessed.

Transfer and mansion taxes
Connecticut's state conveyance tax on a residence is 0.75 percent of the price up to $800,000, 1.25 percent on the portion from $800,000 to $2.5 million, and 2.25 percent on the portion above $2.5 million. Towns add a municipal conveyance tax of 0.25 percent, and eighteen eligible municipalities may charge up to 0.5 percent. Source
Agency and dual agency
Connecticut permits dual agency and designated agency only with the written informed consent of both buyer and seller on the state's dual agency consent agreement. Source
Seller disclosure
Connecticut sellers must deliver the state's Residential Property Condition Disclosure Report before the buyer signs a contract, and a seller who does not provide it must credit the buyer $500 at closing. Source
State estate or inheritance tax
Connecticut levies its own estate tax at a flat 12 percent on the value of an estate above an exemption that matches the federal exemption ($13.99 million in 2025). It is the only state with both an estate tax and a gift tax. Source
