While taking some photos of a condo complex, I happened upon an area of a lake with some old mooring posts. They still had some value however, as some ducks were using them as a resting area yet still avoiding the lakeside.It must have seemed like a good thing to do as they were seldom vacant and the ducks preened and strutted while on the posts.Or maybe a quick nap with no fear of being surprised.Sittin' on a Pier in the Bay 08/21/2016

So What Can My Central Connecticut House Sell For?Being called to do a market analysis on a home is something we offer as part of our service. It is a way to get a listing and show the seller that we know the market. In order to give the home owners a thorough analysis we should not only see the outside but also the inside.From the street, a home can look very similar to others on the same street or within a reasonably close area to the home. This might allow us to get within 80% of the home’s market value but not necessarily it’s true value.Unless built within recent years, not all homes are identical nor would they get sold for the same amount. To better serve the home owner, we need to walk through the home t see how it has been maintained or updated over the years.  Flooring, kitche... 01/30/2016
