Connecticut towns, including New Canaan and Wilton, are undergoing a mandatory property revaluation to update the "Grand List" of taxable properties. New Canaan's assessor, Sebastian Calderella, notes a 30% surge in house and condo markets. The 2018 revaluation may not predict current sale prices accurately, with less than a third of houses selling at expected values. Zillow's predictions also vary in accuracy. With potential tax hikes on the horizon, this revaluation could lead to significant market shifts, prompting many homeowners to consider selling.

Locally, The New Canaan Land Trust has ambitious plans for growth.
