Home Price History in Connecticut
FHFA all-transactions House Price Index for the state of Connecticut — annual data, 1975 through 2025, rebased to 100 in the year 2000.
Connecticut's FHFA all-transactions House Price Index runs from 1975 through 2025. The state-level HPI, rebased to 100 in 2000, stood at 233.1 at the latest reading. Cumulative nominal appreciation since 2000: +133.1%.
The 2007–2011 housing crisis cut the Connecticut HPI by 20.4% peak-to-trough — from 165.2 in 2006 to 131.5 in 2013. The U.S. national HPI fell roughly 21% over the same window, so Connecticut's drawdown was in line with the national average.
The pandemic-era surge brought Connecticut's HPI from 140.0 in 2019 to 233.1 in 2025 — a +66.6% cumulative gain in 6 years, running above the national pace.
Connecticut sits in the Northeast census region of the United States. Long-run state-level home-price appreciation reflects regional employment patterns, in-migration flows, and supply constraints. State-level FHFA series can mask significant intra-state divergence — see the linked metro pages below for sub-state breakdowns where available.

Methodology
The FHFA House Price Index is a weighted, repeat-sales index that measures average price changes in repeat sales or refinancings on the same single-family properties. The all-transactions index incorporates both purchase mortgages and refinance appraisals; the index is calibrated to the Northeast census region and rebased to 100 in the year 2000.
