Welcome to Connecticut Real Estate
Connecticut, currently home to three-and-a-half million residents, became the 5th of the original 13 colonies January 9, 1788. But although it was only the 5th state to join, it has since been first in many ways, including home to the first hamburger (1895), the first helicopter (1939), and the first color television (1948).
Connecticut is a state that retains many traces of its long and interesting history. Its still-active Scoville Memorial Library (began in 1771) is the United States' oldest public library, and its newspaper, The Hartford Courant, is the oldest U.S. newspaper still being published.
In addition to a rich history, Connecticut offers residents a low crime rate, and four distinct seasons. On an index where 100 represents the national average, Connecticut's crime score is 74, and the state's average January low is 17 degrees, with its July high at 82 degrees.
The average Connecticut home during 2004 sold for $278,000.
