How We Calculate Connecticut Home Sale Costs

Transfer Taxes

CT Real Estate Conveyance Tax: Connecticut uses a graduated transfer-tax schedule — each band's rate applies only to the portion of sale price within its threshold range.

Band Schedule

  • 0.75% on first $800,000.00
  • 1.25% on $800,000.00 – $2,500,000.00
  • 2.25% on portion above $2,500,000.00

Source notes: State conveyance bands + municipal 0.25%-0.5% (state-level only modeled). CT-licensed attorney must conduct closing.

Title & Escrow

Title insurance custom: In Connecticut, title insurance is typically paid by the buyer. Title policies protect against title defects discovered after closing; the lender requires their own policy regardless of who pays. The analyzer's estimate ($500 base + $4.50 per $1,000 over $100K) is calibrated against ALTA / TIRSA filings — real rates vary by carrier.

Closing protocol: Connecticut requires an attorney to conduct closings.

Tax Proration & Cycles

Billing cycle: Connecticut bills property taxes in arrears. If you sell mid-year, you owe the buyer a credit for the days you occupied the home — using a 365-day denominator (US settlement-statement industry standard).

Closing Protocol

Connecticut attorney/escrow fees typically range $750-$1500 based on transaction complexity and locality. The analyzer defaults to the midpoint of this range for attorney states; override the default in the Advanced Disclosure if your closing agent quotes outside the typical range.

Typical Connecticut seller closing costs

In Connecticut, sellers typically pay around 8-10% of sale price in closing costs — agent commission (5-6%), ct real estate conveyance tax (0.75% to 2.25% (graduated by sale price)), title insurance (buyer-paid), attorney closing fees, and arrears property-tax proration.
