Hartford Courant – The spring homebuying season — traditionally the busiest of the year — hasn’t made much of an appearance in Connecticut for five years, after a pandemic buying frenzy depleted the stockpile of houses for sale, so much so that it hasn’t built back up.
Few houses on the market are still frustrating both potential buyers and sellers. Buyers have little choice and still encounter stiff competition, with multiple bids. Many would-be sellers worry they won’t be able to find another place to live, so they sit on the sidelines.
