The current economic problems have visited Connecticut as well, but there is no condition of oversupply in the state; inventory levels have been consistent, probably due to Connecticut housing not being subjected to the amount of land speculation that other places have gone through, such as Florida and Nevada. While Connecticut maintains generally pro-business policies, there should be no danger of an exodus of commercial tenants, either. It has also definitely helped that media attention has been zeroed in on other states, given the panic-selling that's ensued elsewhere (which, again, has not gripped the Connecticut real estate market).
Connecticut has the most expensive estates in the country second only to California, with over three percent priced over a million dollars at the turn of this century. Most such residences are located in the northeastern part of the state, with median values assessed in the multiple millions, Isaac Toussie comments. The southwestern part lies within the greater metropolitan area of New York City. Indeed, three of Connecticut's eight counties form the Tri-State Region with New York and New Jersey. Despite the economic downturn in the rest of the nation, Connecticut real estate has not experienced too much turmoil. Though credit has tightened, inventory remains steady.
Statewide inventory of condominiums in Connecticut have been at consistent levels despite the economic downturn of late, and this is a good sign which bodes well for the real estate market there as a whole. Thanks to government action that's maintained access to credit, there is actually some good news for those savvy enough to "connect the dots."
Mortgage interest rates have dropped steeply and there is a tax credit stimulus package for first-time home-buyers with $7,500.00 available. Finally, people have got to live somewhere, so any decline in the condominium market can only be temporary. This is a market with a lot of upside, Isaac Toussie believes.
