Yes the inventory of homes is low- not much has been built in the state over the last 15 years.

Nonetheless home prices are a bargain compared to areas of the country threatened by climate change.

I have doubt the state is realizing more people will move here because of climate change- forcing prices higher in years to come. Connecticut is a climate haven. State government here has lagged in realizing this concept.

Well I hope for my sake unless wages raise (I doubt) that Connecticut does not realize or they realize and build hundreds of homes to offset how much prices will rise compared to demand

Some states like Vermont and Maine realize the 'concept' of being a 'climate haven'-

All of New England is now seen as a 'climate haven'- no state has a large inventory of housing- so CT is not an outlier.

The climate crisis itself - elected officials- and the states populace seem mostly uniformed to the dire threats facing us. Its simply going to become much hotter (the coming El Nino will blow our socks off)

Thank you for sharing this with me I definitely noticed climate wise we’ve been pretty good compared to other places also surprisingly this year in my area I have yet to see snow which I’ve always seen snow so it’s surprising
