We're a boutique brokerage — when we take on a home, it gets the spotlight it deserves. Our latest West Hartford and Greater Hartford listings will appear right here.
West Hartford market figures, spring 2026. They move every month, so ask us for this week's read.
Tell us your must-haves, budget, and the towns you're considering, and we'll start the search for you — or tap Ask Polaris in the corner for a quick read on the market.
Tell us what you're looking forThe market numbers on this page are the buyer's problem. Yours is a different one. A market where well priced homes go pending in about 6 days and close near 105% of asking is a good one to sell into, and it's also the market where a home that sits for three weeks starts to look like something is wrong with it. Price and preparation carry most of the weight.
If your listing already expired, or you pulled it off the market and haven't tried again, that's the conversation we most want to have. There's usually a specific reason a house didn't sell, and it's rarely the one people get told. We'll go through the price history, the photos, the showing feedback, and the days on market, and tell you what we would change.
Either way the first conversation is free and nothing gets signed. Send us the address and we'll put together an honest read on what your home would sell for today.
Ask what your home is worthOur office is in West Hartford and that is the town we write about most. These are the others, and here is the plain version of where each one sits.
Home base. Our office is on South Main Street, and the town breaks into four pockets that feel genuinely different from each other. The Center is the walkable one, the West End is the historic one, Bishops Corner sits up north near Route 44, and Elmwood on the south side is where a lot of first homes happen.
This is the town we know street by street, so it gets the long writeup: the neighborhood guide covers all four.
Straight west of us, on the Farmington River, with Route 4 and I-84 doing most of the commuting. UConn Health and its hospital sit here, so for a good part of the town the drive to work is a short one.
Unionville, the village on the west side, has its own center and its own character, and people who love it tend to be specific about wanting that side of town.
Avon sits at the foot of the mountain that Route 44 climbs on its way over the Talcott ridge and down into West Hartford. Cross it and the land opens up fast.
This is where the Farmington Valley starts, and it is the usual answer for someone who wants valley space without giving up the drive back into town.
Keep going up the valley on Route 10 and you reach Simsbury, with the Farmington River on one side and Talcott Mountain on the other. Heublein Tower looks down on the whole town, and the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail runs right through the middle of it.
The trade is the obvious one. More room and more quiet, a longer drive into Hartford.
The one town on this list east of the Connecticut River. Getting there from West Hartford means going around Hartford first, which is why people tend to pick a side of the river and then stay on it.
Glastonbury makes the case for east: a real Main Street, farms and orchards along the ridge, and Route 2 running straight back toward the city.
Directly north of us, sharing the same stretch of the Talcott ridge. Cigna's campus is here, Penwood State Park sits up on the mountain, and downtown Hartford is a short drive.
It is the town people usually find by widening the search one stop north of West Hartford.
Directly south, between us and Berlin, with the Berlin Turnpike running down the middle of it. The state's DMV headquarters is here, which is why most of Connecticut has been to Newington at least once.
Much of the town was built out in the decades after the war, so the lots are level and the streets are easy to walk.
Thinking about one of these and want an honest read before you spend a Saturday driving it? Ask us. The first conversation costs nothing, and we will tell you if a town is wrong for you.
