Is this your first time house shopping? The only people listing their homes in Connecticut in January (or really anytime after September 1st) are people getting divorced, foreclosed on, moving for a job etc.

This is for lots of reasons:

• most properties don't look their best in the fall and winter
• people don't want to move during the school year if they can avoid it
• no one wants to move around the holidays.

You will see a significant increase in inventory around April 1st.
