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...

If you don't this about me, here it is. I am a long term resident of the Northern Fairfield County area.  Being a long term resident doesn't automatically make translate into being a real estate expert.I've become the choice real estate expert by actively studying the market, researching all areas, viewing homes and talking to people.

If you know something about the Greater Danbury area, Candlewood Lake is at the center of the region. It offers close to 60 miles of shoreline encompassing five different towns: Danbury,New Fairfield, Sherman, Brookfield and New Milford,Connecticut.  There is no tunnel or bridge to the cross the lake, and depending on where you live and where you need to go, it may take up to 40 minutes to travel, although by the way that a crow flies it might not be there far.Either side of the lake is a fine choice. Each has their own character and positive features. The lake frontage breaks down as followed. The eastern side of the lake is Brookfield and New Milford. The western side of the lake would be Sherman and New Fairfield. Danbury is at the southern central of the lake, with several miles of ...

If you are considering moving to Danbury,CT, please keep in mind that it will make your life considerably easier and manageable if you have your own personal automobile. There is a regional bus system, but does not have stops everywhere and may require transfers. Hiring a taxi or using  uber can get expensive, if you are going to be using it regularly. I've been in Danbury practically  my entire life and have never taken the bus, other than  school bus, or a taxi anywhere.If you go online, some areas of Danbury appear to have a high walk score rating. However, I would not personally feel comfortable walking in a couple of the areas that have a high number, due to lack of sidewalks and crossings found on Federal Road, Mill Plain Road and Newtown Road.  The city center is fairly walkable,...

I must get a couple call s a month from people that are looking to use the facilities of a condo or townhome in the Danbury,CT area. However, it is very much the fact that the on site facilties such as the clubhouse, meeting room or pool can only be used by resdients that owner in the complex or rent within the devolpment. It is very much fact the all of the facilties that would be available offer a sort of securtiy measure to keep unauthorized users away. If you are living in the complex and need access to the your wondeful amenties, contact your association's property management company directly.

Selling your home can be pretty stressful. Some might say it is tougher to be a home seller than the home buyer. With selling your home, you have things like keeping your home clean, sometimes buyers coming earlier or later than they scheduled, buyers might wanting to come several times before making an offer or following inspections to bring family members or contractors overs, getting ready to move, finding a new house and sometimes might take a little long for your buyer to secure their financing. With things like setting the price, it's amazing why some people like yourself might even want to sell your house. However, a short term sacrifice can and should be worth it if it brings you to your new destination or stage in life.What came be down to make this process simplified and stres...

As a home owner in the Greater Danbury and Candlewood Lake, you often wonder what your house is worth. If you could get a figure that was acceptable, would you consider selling your property? When we meet, we can see if your ideal number is realistic for the market. The valuation of your home is based on what has sold which is similar. Like a doctor, I have to diagnose your home in order to prescribe what we think the prescription for the market value is. The magic number has to be realistic, otherwise your house is never going to sell. You could want $300,000 but if all the comparable homes are selling for about $225,000, you are going to have to accept the fact that is about market value. Home values are like the stock market, one day IBM is trading for $150.00 a share, the next day t...

Whether you have moved for a career opportunity, to be close to family, or just due to the need for quality affordable housing within the New York City area, I welcome you to my town and would like the opportunity to earn your business with your housing needs. In your process of relocating, you need to decide whether you are going to be renting or purchasing a home. If you are certain that will not be in Danbury,Connecticut for any more than 3 years, I would highly recommend that you rent, as there are costs to sell your home. In addition, the market could change. The rental market is active and good properties do go quickly.
