New Conveyance Tax Proposal is Dead
CT Realtors reports that the Senate passed HB 6441 WITHOUT the section that would authorize the ability of a municipality to add a new conveyance tax on residential and commercial real estate. That vote followed the action in the House that removed the section of the bill.
THANK YOU for making more than 11,000 contacts over the past few months to stop this proposal. It's a huge win for real estate clients to not have to pay these additional tax funds with their transactions.

Updated Voluntary Open House Guidance
CTR recognizes the CDC has relaxed mask guidance for vaccinated persons and the state is opening up more for businesses along with family gatherings inside of homes. However, extensive parts of the population are not yet vaccinated including children and those with medical conditions that don't yet allow for vaccination. While CTR guidance is only voluntary, CTR continues to advise the best practices are: (1) to avoid hosting broker and public open houses due to the volume of strangers who may or may not be vaccinated entering homes of those who may or may not be vaccinated; and (b) to continue to limit the number who enter homes at the same time for the safety of your clients, other agents, the individuals/families who live in the homes and our own families.
