It seems where ever you turn the cost of living has gone up but earnings & investments are down. Many of today's homebuyers have expressed a desire to own less. With winter not far off that might make sense as the cost of heating a Connecticut home has skyrocketed in the last 2 years. One local builder commented on the change; "Consumer demand has changed the focus on where & what I will build. Right now the demand is for smaller homes." If you are looking for smaller home approximately 1 hour from NY and priced under $300,000 take a look at our newest listing in New Fairfield. This home is completely remodeled by one of the area's premier builders and there is nothing left to do here but move in.

My aunt always wanted people in her family her enjoy the water as much as she does.  I think she finally got her wish with my three boys.  They love her pool.  They love her lake house.  They love her beach.  They love the water.  And, they love, love, love her boat.

So, yesterday, my aunt piled us all into the boat - my kids, a few cousins and me.  We went for a ride on the lake, playfully chasing after some cousins on jet skis.
