Selling in the smallest town in Connecticut
Union had 785 residents at the 2020 census, the fewest of any Connecticut town. Much of it is forest and state park land, including Bigelow Hollow State Park beside Mashapaug Lake.
Every home here is a single-family house, and about 92.5% are owner-occupied. Ranches lead at about 31% of single-family homes, then Cape Cods and Colonials. The typical house has about 1,808 square feet and the median one was built in 1977.
The market is tiny. The state counted just 12 sales in the last year, with a median of $291,250. With so few comparable sales, pricing an unusual house is hard for a regular buyer and their appraiser.
Heat is old-school. About 82% of single-family homes use oil, and the Census counts about 21.3% of homes heating with wood.

Why a cash sale fits a town this small
With only a dozen sales a year, a Union house can wait a long time for the right buyer, and a buyer's appraiser may struggle to find comparable sales. We set our price from the house itself and show you how.
The pyrrhotite question on the condition report is another. Some buyers walk away the moment it comes up. We do not.
Taxes are low at 22.76 mills. A house near the median pays about $4,640 a year, about $390 a month. Union revalued on October 1, 2023, and the next is October 1, 2028.
Behind on payments or taxes
Facing foreclosure or a tax lien in Union?
Union's bill near the median is about $4,640 a year, low by state standards, but late tax still grows by 1.5% a month, which is 18% a year, and the town can lien the house.
If the mortgage is behind too, Connecticut mostly uses strict foreclosure, with the Superior Court setting a Law Day. A cash sale before that day pays the lender and the town, and the remaining equity is yours.
