Friday Flags: Jarjura's,  A Waterbury CT Year-Round Farmers MarketThe flag for this week was easy to spot as the wind was blustery. It stood outside a Waterbury CT Landmark at the edge of the parking lot of Jarjura's Farm Market.Established in 1917, this market has been selling wholesale and retail fresh fruits and vegetables all over the State of CT, and in 1993 opened its retail outlet.To this day it is a family run operation, and they stock the retail side with produce regularly and often items not found in some of the larger stores in the area.https://youtu.be/jG8AC0J3xaQThe market is just off the downtown area and astride the highway that traverses through the town.My wife shops here regularly and I will get our garden plants here when the time comes in May. Friday Flags: Jarjura's...

Friday Flags In Waterbury CT's West SideEarlier in the week while leaving the Waterbury Hospital entrance, it appeared that the flag winds were trying to make me wait longer than I wanted for a photo.With a little patience, however, the winds cooperated, and I got a photo that I could be pleased to offer up today.Even it if took a change in wind direction to get it done. Friday Flags In Waterbury CT's West Side

Friday Flags A Bit of Texas in ConnecticutWe have a couple of big box stores in Waterbury, and they are relatively close to each other.I was on my way to one when the restaurant adjacent was calling to me.This gave me an opportunity to not only offer our proud American flag in the breeze, but also the National Flag of Texas right beside it.After a couple of comments from citizens of that country on my recent flag post, I wanted them to know that it is easy to flag photos if you just take the time.This took me all of 5 minutes from getting my gas, but the satisfaction was well worth it.The wind kicked up enough for me to get the last shot as well. Friday Flags A Bit of Texas in Connecticut

Waterbury CT 2023 Year End Real Estate Market Analysis The year 2023 was a year of transition as the market remained in favor of sellers but higher interest rates impacted buyer's abilities with regards to mortgages. The rise of interest rates created due to the inflationary trend put some buyers back into a waiting mode.  Businesses are on the rebound and their biggest obstacles are the rise in raw materials as well as the lack of qualified employees.In spite of this, after a brief pause the market in Waterbury CT began its rise and finished the year strong. Historically lagging in home prices, Waterbury saw a large spurt in median values and hopefully the trend will remain for the foreseeable future.  For the year 2023, the market sales or absorption rate for Waterbury CT was 60 sales...

Selling Homes Should be Left to the ProfessionalsOver the last 2 years, as homes have been selling so quickly and values rising steadily, there are temptations for individuals to thank they don't need an agent to sell their home.They may be the case in some instance, but more often than not a homeowner will reach out to a professional agent and try to pick their brains as a way of shortening the process.I recently got a call from a homeowner seeking answers to some questions.They were forth coming enough to explain that they have a home listed on the Z platform for sale and have not gotten any responses. Their first question had to do with how much would it cost to sell the home. Priorities are a little skewed. I explained the process and why it needs to be a certain value. They kept as...

Friday Flags Visible from the Highway in Waterbury CTThe center of Waterbury CT is traversed by 2 highways and caution is necessary as there are always distractions.As one rounds a curve in the highway there sits the oldest hospital in Waterbury, St Marrys hospital. At the farthest end of the building is an island and center to that island is our flag.It stands tall with the adjacent flags of the State of CT and the company that operates the hospital.The bridge behind it is the roadway that traverses the highway at that section of roadway.I am happy that I found a few extra minutes to circle back and take the photo as the day was perfect for it.Friday Flags Visible from the Highway in Waterbury CT
