• In CT's busiest markets, home buyers may get more choices in these communities in 2026 (ctpost.com) — Glastonbury currently has one of the tightest housing markets in Connecticut, with homes for sale equaling only about 4% of all 2025 listings. Just two properties hit the market there in a recent two‑week stretch, even as nearby cities like Waterbury and Danbury see surging new listings heading into 2026.
