Here’s the real reason Connecticut inventory is still broken.

From the New Door Realty video archive, originally published May 17, 2026. Market figures, listing status, and event details reflect the original video date.

A lot of homeowners want to move…

But they’re sitting on mortgage rates from 2020 and 2021 that are much lower than what they would get today.

So instead of trading a 3% mortgage for something closer to today’s rates, they stay put.

That’s keeping inventory extremely tight across Connecticut, especially in Hartford County. And as long as inventory stays tight, competition for the right homes will likely stay elevated.

But being “stuck” does not have to be the only option.

At New Door Realty, we help homeowners build full move-up strategies before they sell — so they can understand their numbers, options, timing, and next move before making a decision.

Thinking about moving but worried about today’s rates?

DM “MOVE UP” and I’ll show you the smartest ways people are moving right now.
