Connecticut is very likely certain for first, because they less than a decade ago actually had a majority Republican house delegation.
Northeastern Massachusetts after that, then Vermont or Rhode Island (I'm not sure who'd be last).

Well in 2005-6, CT had Rob Simmons (CT-2), Chris Shays (CT-4), and Nancy Johnson (CT-5). Shays was the only one to survive the 2006 midterms, but then fell thanks to the Obama tsunami. So CT-4 was the last to elect a Republican.
CT-4 has a PVI of D+5, and CT-5 has a PVI of D+3. So your guess should be on spot.
