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.

- State estate or inheritance tax
