Connecticut multifamily housing permits in 2026: Will the number of privately owned housing units authorized by building permits in Connecticut in structures with 5 units or more in 2026 be above 7,000 units?

If the U.S. Census Bureau reports that the number of privately owned housing units authorized by building permits in Connecticut in structures with 5 units or more in calendar year 2026 is strictly above 7,000 units, then the market resolves to Yes. For this market, “multifamily” means housing units in structures containing 5 units or more, corresponding to the BPS column labeled “5 Units or More.” Units in 2-unit and 3–4-unit structures will not be included. The Underlying is the final annual 2026 estimate for Connecticut published by the U.S. Census Bureau, not monthly or year-to-date estimates.
