Where the sales come from in Connecticut
A state and town conveyance tax is figured on the sale price when the deed is recorded with the town clerk. The state Office of Policy and Management publishes every sale of $2,000 or more, with its price, as open data.
Real estate conveyance tax (state plus municipal), Conn. Gen. Stat. §12-494: State, residential: 0.75% on the first $800,000, 1.25% on the portion from $800,000 to $2.5 million, and 2.25% above $2.5 million. Municipal: 0.25%; some targeted towns may add up to another 0.25%.
Connecticut has 9 planning regions, which the Census Bureau counts in place of counties. Property Scan covers any of them, pulled on demand.

Pricing opinions under Connecticut rules
Connecticut's appraiser certification law does not cover a licensed broker or salesperson who estimates value as part of a market analysis for an owner, seller, buyer or tenant. The estimate must not be called or treated as an appraisal.
“(2) any licensed real estate broker or real estate salesperson who estimates the value of real estate as part of a market analysis performed for the owner of the real estate or a designee of the owner, on such terms as may be agreed upon between such owner or the owner's designee and the real estate broker or real estate salesperson, for the purpose of (A) a prospective listing or sale of such real estate, (B) providing information to the seller or landlord under a listing agreement, or (C) providing information to a prospective buyer or tenant under a buyer or tenant agency agreement, provided such estimate of value shall not be referred to or be construed as an appraisal.”
Every Property Scan report says it's a comparative market analysis, not an appraisal. Not legal advice.
