The First "Real" Snow of the Season - 02/26/07 08:36 PM
This morning, we in New Fairfield, Connecticut, finally woke up to our first "real" snow of the winter season.
Sure, we've had two other recent snow storms, but they were mostly mixed with sleet and freezing rain. This morning we awoke to nearly 5 inches of soft, white, fluffy snow. No sleet mixed in. No freezing rain mixed in. Just beautiful, white snow.
The trees were covered. The lawns were covered. And the kids finally got to go outside and play in the snow! Of course, schools were closed, so I just had to go out to play in the snow … (6 comments)

Sellers: Shovel Your Snow - 02/21/07 12:47 PM
It's been a week since our last snow storm. Yet, just yesterday when I was showing homes to buyer clients of mine, we encountered a home that has not shoveled their driveway, the walkway to the front door, nor the front steps.
This home is on a narrow "country" road, so parking in front of the home created an obstacle course for neighbors to get around our cars. Not a great way to create neighborhood unity.
Given the last storm was a mixture of sleet, freezing rain and snow, and that we've experienced mostly sub-freezing temperatures since then (with the wonderful … (4 comments)

Wintry Weather Arrives in Connecticut - 02/14/07 09:04 AM
We were originally expecting 12-18 inches of the white fluffy stuff we've seen so rarely this winter. Instead, we've woken up to about 1-2 inches of a mixture of snow, sleet and freezing rain. It's nasty outside, and last I heard, we can expect this to continue all day.
The kids are off from school today (NBC30 reports 658 closings or delays as of this writing). I can't see the road from my house, so I have no idea if the roads are clear or safe. But with the continuing sleet falling and the winds blowing, I figure it's best if we stay … (3 comments)

Connecticut's Governor recently released her proposed budget for the state. Included are additional monies to fund education. The plan calls for an additional $1.1 Billion to be given to towns and cities over the next five years to help pay for school costs.

Winter in New Fairfield, Connecticut - 02/05/07 09:56 AM
This past Friday evening, here in western Connecticut we finally had our first "real" snow of the winter. Of course, we're now also in a bitter cold snap with wind chills below zero.
But, on the bright side, we're finally enjoying the winter landscape. Snow on the ground, bright sun shining down and reflecting off the snow and illuminating the world, and cheery blue skies. Skaters, fishers and the adventurous are enjoying frozen Candlewood Lake and the various ponds throughout the area. Children - and adults - can be seen flying down hills on their plastic sleds. One of the true … (2 comments)

Connecticut Home Sale Conveyance Tax - 02/03/07 07:06 PM
Since 2003, home sellers in Connecticut have been paying an increased home sale conveyance tax. This tax increase, imposed only on home sellers, was created as a temporary - two year - tax to supplement state and local coffers during the 2003 state budget crisis. In 2005, this tax was extended for another two years.
Currently, this tax increase is set to expire on June 30, 2007. This tax increase, typically paid by the seller in a home sale transaction, costs the seller an additional $140 for each $100,000 of the sales price. (For a $500,000 home sale, the seller would pay an … (0 comments)
