There are a few differences between the mls listing and a contract. The mls listing is put together by the sellers agent when they have a client that wants to sell their home. Some of the information comes in from the town's public records.

Anything on the inside of the home is owners responsibility, such ...

There are several towns within the Greater Danbury area. They have offer their own character, advantages & possible disadvantages. Each has their own character, real estate options & real estate values. Typically, the further east you could go from Danbury,  further from New York, the newer single residential real estate is, but it isn't always the more affordable. You would also have to consider the school system, price of real estate, number of or lack of services, commuting options & time, expected property taxes and other factors to determine which town you feel is the best of your needs. -Danbury-Bethel-Brookfield-New Fairfield-New Milford-Redding-Ridgefield-Sherman-Newtown-SouthburyOther towns that I do cover include Sherman ,Woodbury ,Middlebury & Monroe, CT.
