Connecticut’s average total realtor commission is approximately 5.03%<\/strong> of the home’s sale price, split between the listing agent (~2.59%) and the buyer’s agent (~2.44%), according to the Connecticut realtor commission survey<\/a>. On a $453,000 home near the state median, that works out to roughly $22,800<\/strong> in total fees paid at closing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That figure surprises many sellers who assumed the old 6% standard still applied. It doesn’t. Connecticut’s current average sits below the traditional benchmark, and the 2024 NAR settlement changed how buyer’s agent fees are negotiated. Understanding both the current rate and the rule changes can save you thousands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide covers what Connecticut sellers actually pay in dollars, how the listing and buyer’s agent split works, what changed after the NAR settlement, how to tell if a 3% rate is reasonable, and how to reduce what you owe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
