Danbury, CT is a very interesting place when it comes to real estate. In the past, I have had clients request to only tour homes serviced with public water and public sewer.  Even with their fairly good sized budget, it severally limited the number of homes available that we could look at. They also told me which parts of town they would like or not want to be as well.Generally speaking, please consider the following:-All townhome/condos in Danbury are required to be serviced by public water & sewer.-Almost all properties in city center will be serviced by public water & sewer.-Almost all homes up by Richter Golf Course will be serviced by private septic & well.-Almost all homes over by Candlewood Lake will be serviced by private septic & well. There are some communities which have priv...

The condo market in Danbury has seen signs of improvement over the last few months, compared to 2008. The median sales price has been on the increasing for the last 3 months of 2009. The monthly sales supply of listings at the end of December is a near 2 year low.  There has been as many new listings hit the market compared to in the previous length of time. However, the same percentage of listing are going under contract. Residual inventory that has been carried month to month, as a total percent of the market, has decreased 27% compared to December 2007.  When I am wondering the MLS activity over these first years days of 2010, I do not think the available condos for sale in Danbury will swell up to the levels it was early 2009. With a lower supply of condos to choose from, buyers mig...

Guest Post by Jacques Bouchard In the crawl space business, we’ve been calling crawl space vents a “housing epidemic” for well over a decade. And this is by no means an exaggeration- the money that is lost in crawl spaces because of the vents and dirt or concrete walls is enormous. Go ahead and do a quick self diagnosis of your crawl space right now. Symptoms of a dirt vented crawl space in need of your attention include any or all of the following: Sagging or uneven floors where the crawl space and first floor meet. High heating bills in the winter High cooling bills in the summer Infestations of pests, including termites, carpenter ants, and mice Rotting crawl space wood Symptoms of respiratory discomfort of the home’s inhabitants, including coughing, runny noses, sore throats, skin a...

While touring homes in New Fairfield recently with a client who recently relocated from out of town, our conversation turned to sweet corn, one of my summer barbecue favorites. Turns out, her husband is a big corn fan too. "What's Halas?" she asked. Since consistent, good quality sweet corn is hard to come by, I promised her a blog post complete with map about Halas Farm Market, one of the best local spots to pick up fresh produce in Northern Fairfield County. Besides the great corn, Halas has an annual pumpkin painting contest that benefits charity. See their website for details. They also have lovely plants and garden supplies, pictured below. Enjoy!!

  In our Danbury, CT metro area which includes Danbury, Brookfield, Bethel, Newtown, New Fairfield, Ridgefield - all in Fairfield County, as well as New Milford which is in Litchfield County, we have a lot of transplanted New Yorkers who work in New York City.  Lots of folks also commute from this area to Southern Westchester towns such as White Plains, Yonkers, New Rochelle or Mount Vernon. Many drive their cars to and from work, but many of them prefer to commute by rail using Metro North Railroad.     What is Metro North? Metro North Railroad is part of the NY/NJ/CT Metropolitan Transportation Association (MTA) which operates a number of mass transit operations helping commuters in the tri-state area get to, from and around New York City. The flagship and focal point for Metro North ...

If you're thinking about relocating into the Greater Danbury area, it takes a while to learn to navigate the area. Our roads are were not exactly planned on a grid system around here. The Federal Road shopping hub on the Danbury/Brookfield line has a lot to offer. There is a Home Depot and a Lowes within less than a mile of each other, a Best Buy, a huge movie theater, Stew Leonard's - a great local fresh dairy/farmers market style grocery store, Kohls, numerous furniture stores and more. One of my favorite places in Greater Danbury to stop in for a quick bite to eat is the Costco snack booth. My husband and I stopped in on our shopping day for a slice of pizza for lunch. A frozen yogurt on a hot day after a long shopping trip certainly hits the spot. Our local Costco parking lot is ful...
