Dr. Seuss Celebration at Written Words Bookstore Shelton CT

Stratford CT Single Family Market Report and Real Estate- January 2012

Stratford CT January 2012 single family home sales had a slow start as compared to January 2011 sales.
 
 
On the bright side,  there are 25 houses under deposit and a healthy 58 homes under contract.  Some closings in January may likely have been delayed due to the holidays to explain the lower numbers. February should pick up as evidenced by the contingent and pending sales.
Also promising is that the average list and selling prices both decreased only 3% from January 2011 indicative of a market that … (7 comments)

10 Tips for Hiring a Home Improvement Contractor

A homeowner hired a construction company to fix a leaky roof and build an addition. The contractor collected over $50K from the homeowner, started the job and did not complete it.
