Connecticut Real Estate Overview

Connecticut is an attorney-closing state with a single dominant MLS (SmartMLS) and mandatory state property-condition disclosures. The market shows tight inventory with prices rising modestly.

Federal Compliance Checklist

Lead-Based Paint Hazard Disclosure

Federal law (Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992) requires sellers of homes built before 1978 to disclose any known lead-based paint or lead hazards and provide buyers with the EPA’s lead hazard information pamphlet. Buyers must also be given a 10-day opportunity to conduct a lead paint inspection or waive that right.

Fair Housing Act (No Discriminatory Advertising)

Under the federal Fair Housing Act, sellers (and their agents) must not publish any advertisement for the listing that expresses a discriminatory preference based on protected classes (e.g. race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin). For example, statements such as 'no children' or other exclusions in home listings are unlawful.

42 U.S.C. §3604(c)

State-Level Rules Sellers Must Follow

Residential Property Condition Report

Connecticut law (CGS §20-327b) requires sellers of residential real estate (1–4 family properties) to provide buyers with a completed Residential Property Condition Disclosure Report **before** the buyer signs the purchase agreement. The report is a standardized form covering all aspects of the property (structure, systems, defects, etc.). If the seller fails to furnish this form to the buyer before contract signing, the seller must credit the buyer $500 at closing as a penalty.

Conn. Gen. Stat. §20-327b

County & City Considerations

Local Requirements

Connecticut does not have significant additional local disclosure requirements. Sellers must comply with state law by providing the Property Condition Report. Some municipalities might have pre-closing inspection requirements for smoke detectors or fire alarms, but these are generally carried out by the fire department and a certificate is issued (for example, some towns require a fire marshal's smoke/CO detector inspection before transfer).

Seller Disclosure Requirements

What sellers must disclose in Connecticut:

Mandatory Residential Property Condition Report (Conn. Gen. Stat. §20-327b)
State publishes official form
Must deliver before buyer signs binder/contract
Comprehensive property condition disclosure required

MLS Rules & Listing Logistics

MLS and Brokerage Policies

To list a Connecticut home on the MLS, a seller’s broker must have a signed listing agreement. Connecticut MLS rules (for services like SmartMLS) adhere to the Clear Cooperation Policy: any publicly advertised listing must be filed with the MLS within 1 business day. MLS rules also require providing an image of the property and full and accurate listing details. Any material changes (price, status) must be updated promptly on the MLS. MLS entries must not include any language that violates fair housing laws.

SmartMLS Rules

How Much Equity You Keep on a $437,000 Sale

Every seller sees the math before launch. We assume a $13,110 buyer-agent incentive (3%) across all options so you can compare apples-to-apples with “flat fee” services that tack on a percentage at closing.

Option	Upfront Fees	Due at Closing	Total Listing Cost	Buyer Agent (3%)	Total Listing & Selling Costs	Savings vs 6%
Meydomo Flat-Fee MLS¹	$499	$999	$1,498	$13,110	$14,608	$11,612
Housecoin “Flat Fee”²	$0	$4,370	$4,370	$13,110	$17,480	$8,740
Houzeo Silver Plan³	$249	$2,185	$2,434	$13,110	$15,544	$10,676
Traditional 6% Agent⁴	$0	$13,110	$13,110	$13,110	$26,220	—

* Buyer-agent line assumes a 3% incentive across every scenario. Sellers can set Meydomo buyer-agent payouts anywhere from 2% to 3%.

¹ Meydomo pricing: $499 to launch, $999 at close. Buyer-agent incentives remain optional.

² Housecoin advertises no upfront cost but charges 1% of sale price at close (marketed as “flat fee”).

³ Houzeo Silver plan: $249 list fee plus 0.5% at close, subject to $999 minimum (houzeo.com/pricing).

⁴ Traditional listing assumed 3% listing-side commission and 3% buyer-agent commission (typical 6% split).
