Waterbury Home Values Are Lower Due to Historical Precedence Many Greater Waterbury CT first time home buyers and those from out of area will often wonder why the home prices in Waterbury CT are lower, dollar for dollar, than comparable style houses in neighboring towns. The cause for this goes back almost a century to the roots of the manufacturing companies that once employed thousands of people in their factories. Waterbury CT, unlike other towns in the area did not have soil conducive to farming. It did have abundant water which was necessary to run some of the first mills. Early entrepreneurs found great success in making brass goods, buttons, and other small products that could be sold by peddlers. In time, the area became home to the 3 largest companies producing brass products: ...

When a Frustrated Buyer is Almost Ready to Forgo a Purchase I responded to a lead this week and as is often the case with them was resolved to not hear from that client. I was pleasantly surprised when they did call back and ask to see one of my listings in addition to a couple of additional properties. We met up and I was surprised when the client turns very seriously to me and tells me that I was the first agent to respond to their calls. I presumed it was a matter of an inline lead being distributed to several local agents but was then corrected. It seems that this couple have been calling agents on properties and not getting any response at all. Multiple calls to the names on the signs and still no one returned their calls. They pointed out a few of the houses they tried to see and ...

Showing a flippers work in Waterbury CT I have a buyer that is looking to buy a comfortable 3 bedroom family home in Waterbury CT. As a first time home buyer options in there price range are limited. We thought we were going to find the ideal home when we pulled up to this property. It was an investors home that had been rented out for the past 3 years and the owner was trying to sell it off. It has a lot to offer with a level yard, 3 large bedrooms; hardwood flooring, a newer roof, a lot of promise, until we started to walk up to the second level.           The staircase did not look right to me, and as we reached the top of the run, I could see that it was slanted to one side. The first floor seemed ok, which meant get into the basement. A 1 inch drop across a 36 inch wide step is a b...

 Our Lady of Mt Carmel Feast, Waterbury CT - - - The 76th Year The Highland Ave section of Waterbury CT around Our Lady of Mt Carmel Church will be swarming with residents from all over the area trying to get a taste of the delicacies being offered this weekend. It's the  76th Feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church.   Weeks of preparation and cooking culminate with 4 days of singing, dancing eating and all out revelry, all with the underlying tone of honoring the patron of the church. Pride further shows itself with the evening candle light procession around the block, and if there was ever a worry for getting lost, or not knowing who the organizers are, the lines down the center of the road that form the route tells it all: red, white and green!       The people start to wander in fro...

KNOW WHAT YOU'RE BUYING   When you buy a home, you need to know exactly what you’re buying. Imagine how frustrated you’d be to find out that the hot water heater wasn't working—in the middle of a shower! This is why you should have a home inspection before you buy your home. A home inspection is an important part of buying your home. Before you hire a home inspector, ask candidates a few questions to make sure you hire a trustworthy inspector. What does your inspection cover? Not all inspections are the same. Ask for copies of previous home inspections so you can see exactly what they will check inside the home. If you are concerned about something specific, like a leaky faucet in the bathroom, mention that to the inspector so they can check it out.   Are you licensed or certified? If ...
