A Moss Farms Colonial Sold in Cheshire CT   This Moss Farms colonial had gone under contract with the first week of getting on the market, but as it was part of a chain of 3 deals all connected, we needed to wait for the chain to start the process of closing.  A wonderful 4 bedroom colonial with updates and fresh paint was just what the new buyers wanted. A bonus for them was the large pool and a level yard that their 3 boys would get to enjoy over this summer vacation. Cheshire CT is a great family oriented town with several large parks for recreation. It has a large pool that will soon be available for year round use; a school system that has won numerous accolades for outstanding performance by its students.

Cheshire CT Community Pool  . . . A Referendum for Cheshire Residents The residents of Cheshire CT have a big decision to make on Election Day. The Community Pool in Bartlem Park in Cheshire CT is a very valuable town resource. It is very unique to have an Olympic sized pool as a public pool and in Central Connecticut even rarer. The winter of 2011 caused the then bubble cover to collapse; it was the second failure of a cover. Friends of the Pool are working hard to inform residents that the best solution to the pool would be a more permanent structure that would allow year round use of the pool. It is no secret that the Cheshire High School Girls swim team had enjoyed record setting success, yet they need to go to neighboring towns during their swim season as the high school doesn’t ha... 10/25/2013

As An Un-Represented Buyer I have More Choices This is what a prospective Cheshire CT real estate customer said to me as we were looking through one of my listings. It was also how they responded to me when I asked them if they were working with an agent. I didn't pursue the statement at the time, and just proceeded to show them my listing. As we were chatting, they offered that they had missed a couple of homes in their value range because they had learned of them late and had delayed getting over to look at the homes. Not a surprise as they are an Unrepresented Buyer in Cheshire CT.  I asked how they found the homes they wanted to view and they offered up a bunch of different syndicated sites that they log onto, various other agency sites, and juts driving through neighborhoods where ... 09/06/2013

What is Tax Free Week in Connecticut? Tax Free week in Connecticut is a week of back to school sales and the State waives collection of sales tax on all items of clothes and footwear priced under $300.00. This can be significant for families on a tight budget especially with our 6.35 % state sales tax. This year the tax abatement starts on Sunday Aug 18, and runs through next Saturday, Aug 24. Stores also add incentive to shoppers with back to school sales as well. If parents are fortunate, they can not only get the school clothes purchased at discount, but as some retailers have already started to put out the winter lines, maybe a jump on the winter coats and sweater as well. According to the National Retail Federation, the average family will spend an average of $688,62 in back to sch... 08/18/2013
