The five highest-priced home sales reported in the Greater Hartford Area, Connecticut for the week ending November 8, 2026 came to a combined $4.665 million. Three of the homes are in Hartford County and two are in Tolland County.
The group ranges from a home in one of Suffield’s historic districts to newer Colonials set on wooded and landscaped acreage, with gardens, a pool, a post-and-beam barn and a workshop garage among the things buyers found outside.
No. 1 — $1,275,000 · 281 North Main Street, Suffield, Connecticut
The week’s top sale was an antique Colonial at 281 North Main Street, in the Suffield Depot neighborhood of Suffield, which sold for $1.275 million. The clapboard home dates to 1800 and stands in a historic district. Its exterior is finished with detailed architectural moldings, and red-stone steps lead up to the front entrance.
