    Rhode Island Housing Market: The First Clear Softening

    Rhode Island Housing Market: The First Clear Softening

    For nearly four years, Rhode Island real estate has been tight—fast sales, multiple offers, and firm pricing. The latest data shows the first meaningful loosening: inventory is building faster than new contracts in many areas, especially along the coast.

    The Key Metric: A/P (Active-to-Pending Ratio)

    At Seaport Real Estate Services, we watch Active-to-Pending (A/P)as a clear read on market pressure:

    • A/P < 1.0→ more homes under contract than for sale: seller’s market
    • A/P ≈ 1.0→ supply ≈ demand: balanced market
    • A/P > 1.0→ inventory outpacing contracts: tilting toward buyers

    Connecticut’s Real Estate Market: The Shift Toward Balance Has Begun

    By Seaport Real Estate Services • October 2025 • Mystic, CT

    After years of undersupply and bidding wars, Connecticut’s housing market is finally normalizing. Our leading indicator—the A/P (Active-to-Pending) ratio—now sits near 1.0 statewide, signaling a transition from a pure seller’s market to a more balanced playing field.

    Key Metric: A/P (Active-to-Pending Ratio)

    A/Pis a simple but powerful gauge of market balance: Active Listings ÷ Pending Listings.

    • A/P < 1.0— Seller’s market (more homes under contract than for sale)
    • A/P ≈ 1.0— Balanced market
    • A/P > 1.0— Buyer’s edge…

    Town Hall2

    In towns across Connecticut, something unusual is happening: municipal and school budgets are going to referendum not once, not twice, but as many as five times. Residents are repeatedly rejecting proposed spending plans. Behind this wave of fiscal resistance is a group that once quietly voted in most local elections—Connecticut's aging baby boomers.

    Faced with rising property taxes, aggressive revaluations, and fixed retirement incomes, this demographic is saying "no" with increasing volume and frequency. From Windsor Locks to Thompson, Bolton, and beyond, communities are experiencing budget gridlock as seniors push back against what they see as unsustainable tax burdens.

    The recent revaluation of real estate in Old Lyme has sparked concerns among residents about potential increases in property taxes. However, the relationship between property values and taxes is more nuanced than it may appear at first glance. Let’s break it down.

    What is Property Revaluation?

    Revaluation is the process by which towns adjust property assessments to reflect current market values. In Connecticut, properties are assessed at 70% of their appraised value. This means if your home is appraised at $600,000, your assessment will be $420,000.

    Revaluation is done periodically to ensure fairness. Over time, real estate markets change, and some properties may appreciate faster than others. Without revaluation, some taxpayers might pay…
