Estimate what you could keep
Bridgeport, CT illustrative estimate
Bridgeport home sale calculator: what you'd actually put in your pocket
The sale price is only the starting point. What matters is what you keep after your payoff, repairs, fees, and other costs come out. That's your net proceeds.
The home value starts with Zillow’s typical value for the area. Your house may be worth more or less. You can change the value and every cost below. Adjust anything you know, including your payoff, repair or credit risk, cleanout cost, agent commission, and how long you expect to carry the property.

Your starting home-value estimate may come from a public source when one is available. You can edit that estimate and each cost input above; your property's actual value and closing costs may differ.
Choose the condition that best fits your home, then update the value, mortgage payoff, and cost inputs with what you know. This is an estimate for local costs, not a verified local tax rate.
Selling a house in Connecticut
Inherited house
Can you sell an inherited Connecticut house before probate is finished? Often, yes. The executor or administrator appointed by the Probate Court can sell the house while the estate is open. Unless the will specifically gives the executor power to sell real estate, the sale needs the Probate Court's approval. The fiduciary files a petition with the purchase contract and proof of fair market value, such as an appraisal or market analysis. The court approves the sale if it is in the estate's best interests. Heirs and beneficiaries can waive notice to speed things up. If the will leaves the house to a specific person, that person can sign a consent to the sale. Before closing, the title company will usually want certificates releasing the state's estate tax and probate fee liens on the house; the Probate Court issues them, though DRS releases the estate tax lien for a taxable estate. The deed, will and court papers determine who can sign and what is needed to close. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.

Foreclosure
Can you still sell your Connecticut house in foreclosure? Often, yes, if the loan is paid off before the court's deadline. Connecticut foreclosures go through court. In a strict foreclosure, there is no auction; the judge sets a "law day." If the owner hasn't paid off the debt by then, title usually passes to the lender. If there is equity, the court may instead order a foreclosure by sale, an auction run by a court-appointed committee and approved by the court. Before title passes, a judge may reopen the judgment and set a new law day for good cause. Owner-occupants of one- to four-family homes may qualify for the court's Foreclosure Mediation Program, which can pause the case. Don't assume a date has moved; have an attorney or title company confirm the deadline and payoff. Our agreement of sale will often get a law day extended or a foreclosure sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't change the date automatically; the request goes to the court with our agreement attached, and it works more often than people think.

Tenants
Can you sell a Connecticut rental with tenants in it? Yes. In an ordinary sale, the buyer becomes the new landlord, and existing leases generally stay in effect; the sale by itself does not end a tenancy. Ending a tenancy still depends on the lease and Connecticut's notice-to-quit and eviction rules. Some tenants, including those 62 or older or with a disability in buildings with five or more units, can be evicted only for good cause, and a change of ownership doesn't count. At the transfer, the seller must take the tenants' security deposits, plus the interest they have earned, out of the escrow account and deliver them to the buyer. Landlords must pay tenants interest each year at no less than a rate the Banking Commissioner sets. The new owner is responsible for returning deposits when tenancies end, even if the prior owner never handed them over. Give the buyer the leases, deposit and interest records, and escrow details so the sale can account for each tenancy.

Connecticut real estate conveyance tax
What transfer tax applies when a Connecticut house sells? Connecticut charges a real estate conveyance tax when the deed is recorded, if the price is $2,000 or more. For a home, the state tax is 0.75% of the price up to $800,000, 1.25% of the part from $800,000 to $2.5 million, and 2.25% of any part above $2.5 million. Every town also gets a 0.25% municipal conveyance tax. A small group of eligible towns may add up to another 0.25%, for a local rate of up to 0.50%. On a $100,000 sale, that is $750 state plus $250 town, or $1,000 total; in a town charging 0.50%, it is $1,250. By law, the seller owes these taxes, and they are paid when the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt, such as certain sales of a seller's home for less than what is owed on its mortgages and property taxes; the closing attorney confirms the amount. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Connecticut state and municipal real estate conveyance taxes.

Code violations and sale requirements
Can you sell a Connecticut house with open code violations? A sale may be possible, but the property's orders, fines and liens matter. Local building, fire, health and housing officials enforce state and local codes and can order an owner to make repairs. Towns may adopt blight and housing ordinances with fines, and unpaid fines under those ordinances become a lien on the property. If an owner doesn't fix a dangerous, unsanitary or blighted condition, the town can secure, repair or demolish the building itself and recover its costs from the owner, including through a lien on the property. Existing orders, fines and liens need to be addressed as part of the sale; an as-is agreement does not erase them. Send us the notices so the buyer and closing attorney can work through the repairs, deadlines and closing requirements. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
