      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Why would 3 real estate agents give you 3 very different prices for your CT home? - Just yesterday, I was at a sellers house,  and they called me in because they got wildly different prices for their home from the three real estate agents that were there before me. They wanted to get the most accurate price, and couldn't tell from what they had which one was right. The sellers were in a quandary as to what to do, and how to price their home.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - The Top Five Smart Homebuyer Strategies - The National Association of REALTORS® has announced that there's a housing supply shortage. Homes are selling quickly and home prices are starting to inch up again. It's becoming a seller's market in many areas. Any time the market changes, it's time to change strategies. During a buyer's market, buyers have the upper hand and can make more demands to sellers over their homes' price and condition. During a sellers' market, buyers concede the upper hand to sellers and are more willing to accept higher prices and terms.</image:title>
      <image:caption>When homes are in short supply, buyers don't have the luxury of taking their time, teasing sellers with lowball offers, demanding that every little thing be fixed, and shopping for homes with multiple real estate agents. Do these five steps instead.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - The Top Five Seller Mistakes and How to Avoid Them - Everyone wants to get the most money out of the sale of their home, but sometimes in an effort to do just that, you can sabotage yourself without even knowing it.  Here are a few common mistakes that sellers make, so you'll  know what NOT to do when selling your home.</image:title>
      <image:caption>1. Basing your asking price solely on the listing price of other properties.  If you see one, or any number of homes on the market for a particular price, don't assume that your home is worth that price as well, even if your home has more to offer. If those homes are on the market, then that means that they haven't sold- and anyone can list their home for sale at any price if an agent is willing to list it for that price. It does not necessarily mean that the home is worth it. See my post on "Street Phenomena"</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - What you should expect from your Real Estate Agent, and how important is it to you? - The numbers that surprised me most were negotiation skills, people skills, and technology skills, because as a Realtor I think that these skills are also very important. That agent had poor people skills, evidenced  by her disrespect to her client, and for me, for that matter. She didn't have a personal website, either. That doesn't cut the mustard with me,  and it shouldn't with a buyer or seller either. I think that a lot of these skillsets mentioned should rate a lot higher, and buyers and sellers hould expect more from their agent. When  I put my name on something, it BETTER be good, period, and all agents  should set the highest standard for themselves and their clients as possible.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - How many "For sale by owner" (FSBO) listings are there in each town? - That's an interesting question. Not all FSBO listings are easily found on the internet, and If you are considering selling your home by yourself, you probably already know that some of the bigger FSBO sites charge buyers a fee to look on their site to see YOUR listing. Hmmm, that's some racket! I did a search of homes for sale in CT and guess how many results google search yielded? Over 54 MILLION!!! in less than 2 seconds, no less. Now there are only somewhere between 1.3 and 1.5 million households in Connecticut, depending on who you rely on for these numbers, so where does that HUGE number come from? It's mathematically impossible!</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - All about Westport, Connecticut - One of the wealthiest towns in the country, this diversified and cosmopolitan town also boasts coastal beauty and rustic woodland scenery. Sherwood Island State Park is the towns 'gift' to state residents, and is one of the largest designated picnic and beach grounds in all of Fairfield County. At the same time, the small town ambience is evident, and residents enjoy a vast array of boutique shopping in the trendy downtown shopping district, which draws a sophisticated and affluent clientele. Westport's Main Street businesses are a pleasant mix of boutiques and well known upper end stores, with newer store fronts and quaint colonial facades adorning this mini-mecca. Walk into one of the shops on Main Street and exit through the back, and you've just entered Parker Harding Plaza, with beautiful views of the Saugatuck River.   Some of the late 19th century buildings still remain here, have been restored to better than new condition, and house a variety of different businesses and shops. The library and the Levitt Pavilion are just a short walk away. The Westport Country Playhouse is closeby, too. Westport is chock full of superb cultural, recreational and educational facilities.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - All about the town of Fairfield Connecticut - There are five golf courses in town, public beaches, lakes, tennis courts, numerous parks, playgrounds and outdoor activities for everyone. Another fine feature of this town is its ease of transportation. There are currently two train stations, and a third on the way that are serviced by the Mtero North Railroad. Major transportation arteries, such as Interstate 95 and one of Connecticut's scenic roads, Merritt Parkway (Route 15), offer convenience to all commuters. The public school system is one that is well noted for its excellence. Fairfield also hosts two higher education learning institutions, Fairfield University and Sacred Heart University. Different enclaves in town make for a scenic ride anywhere within the Fairfield's boundaries. There's the older Stratfield section, historic Southport on the water, which certainly has the feel of a quaint New England town such as Nantucket, and the beautiful landscape of Greenfield Hill, among others. Each year, thousands of visitors visit Greenfield Hill's much celebrated 10,000 tree Dogwood Festival, which is held each spring. Fairfield is a town where there really is a place for everyone. Where else can you purchase a home for $250,000 all the way up to 25 million?</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - What's happening in the Fairfield County CT Real Estate Market? - I am pleased to present to you our real estate market forecasts and advice for the coming months in Easton, Fairfield, Norwalk, Trumbull and Westport.  As you'll see, not all markets are created equal. Just so you know, I am not, nor have I ever been one to sugarcoat the market, or give anyone advice that I do not think is prudent. You do not stay in business for 26+ years by doing anything other than what is proper.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Why would 3 real estate agents give you 3 very different prices for your CT home? - Just yesterday, I was at a sellers house,  and they called me in because they got wildly different prices for their home from the three real estate agents that were there before me. They wanted to get the most accurate price, and couldn't tell from what they had which one was right. The sellers were in a quandary as to what to do, and how to price their home. Let me put it to you one way, and this is the only way. In order to price your home properly, a lot of research must be done by your real estate agent so that you don't overprice it or underprice it.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Zillow says my house is worth WHAT??? - I got a call today from a potential client who wanted to know what her home was worth, and she quoted me a figure from Zillow.com. I'm glad she couldn't see my face, because my jaw just about dropped. It wasn't overpriced, it was SEVERELY underpriced.  Zillow is all over the lot as far as pricing is concerned.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Zillow IS a good informational site, I'll give it that, but it is no substitute for a local real estate agent's price estimate. Let me explain why. There are no local agents deciphering the local market as it pertains to your house that  let the Zillow pricing module know the neighborhood nuances, which make a BIG difference.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Woodburning Stove Safety in Your Connecticut Home - Wood stoves come in many different sizes, each suited for a different purpose: Small stoves are suitable in single rooms, seasonal cottages or small, energy efficient homes. These models can also be used for zone heating in large homes where supplemental heating is needed. Medium-size stoves are appropriate for heating small houses or mid-size homes that are intended to be energy-efficient and as inexpensive as possible to maintain. Large stoves are used in larger homes or older homes that leak air and are located in colder climate zones. To ensure safe and efficient use of wood-burning stoves, inspectors can pass along the following tips to their clients:</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Woodburning Stove Safety in Your Connecticut Home - Efficiency and Air Pollutants</image:title>
      <image:caption>While federal and state governments crack down on vehicle and industrial emissions, they do relatively little to limit the harmful air pollution emitted from wood stoves. The problem is so bad that, in many areas, such as Chico, Caifornia (pictured at right), the smoke from wood stoves is the largest single contributor to that city's air pollution.  Smoke from wood stoves can cause a variety of health ailments, from asthma to cancer. To mitigate these concerns, the EPA sets requirements for wood-stove emissions based on the design of the stove: 4.1 grams of smoke per hour (g/h) for catalytic stoves, and 7.5 g/h for non-catalytic stoves. Some state laws further restrict airborne particulates, and many new models emit as little as 1 g/h. These two approaches -- catalytic and non-catalytic combustion -- are described briefly as follows:</image:caption>

There are other scoring systems, but FICO is the most widely used and trusted.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Your total FICO score consists of the sum of scores for different aspects of your credit history. As I understand it, new credit accounts for 10% of your total score,  types of credit is 10%, payments history accounts for about 35%, amount owed is about 30%, length of history is 15%</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Five Big Turnoffs for Homebuyers - Getting the price you want for your home  has a lot to do with condition as well as price, and marketing. Buyers get turned off on homes for various reasons. If you have the power and wherewithal to make sure your home shows as well as it could, you should absolutely address whatever  your agent thinks is needed. Remember, your agent can't get you the price you want unless your home is in pristine move-in condition, or priced accordingly for the market if it's not.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - New Connecticut 2011-2012 Mill Rates and property taxes take effect July 1, 2011 - All Connecticut towns prepare a budget for the year and set a new mill rate for property owners to pay for that budget. If you look at the record of your property as it exists in Town Hall, you will see that your property is appraised at one value, and assessed at another value. Your new property taxes are determined by multiplying the mill rate by the assessment.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Real Estate Agent, Realtor, Salesperson or Broker- which one to choose? - Drilled wells penetrate about 100 to 400 feet into the bedrock. Where you find bedrock at the surface, it is commonly called ledge. To serve as a water supply, a drilled well must intersect bedrock fractures containing ground water. Drilled Well Construction Features  The casing is usually metal or plastic pipe, 6 inches in diameter, that extends into the bedrock to prevent shallow ground water from entering the well. By law, the casing has to extend at least 18 feet into the ground, with at least 5 feet extending into the bedrock. The casing should also extend a foot or two above the ground’s surface. A sealant, such as cement grout or bentonite clay, should be poured along the outside of the casing to the top of the well. The well should be capped to prevent surface water from entering the well.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Financing Update and Today's Mortgage Rates in Connecticut- June 24, 2011 - Drilled wells penetrate about 100 to 400 feet into the bedrock. Where you find bedrock at the surface, it is commonly called ledge. To serve as a water supply, a drilled well must intersect bedrock fractures containing ground water. Drilled Well Construction Features  The casing is usually metal or plastic pipe, 6 inches in diameter, that extends into the bedrock to prevent shallow ground water from entering the well. By law, the casing has to extend at least 18 feet into the ground, with at least 5 feet extending into the bedrock. The casing should also extend a foot or two above the ground’s surface. A sealant, such as cement grout or bentonite clay, should be poured along the outside of the casing to the top of the well. The well should be capped to prevent surface water from entering the well.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Geothermal Heating and Cooling Systems in Your Connecticut Home - Geographical Distribution As of 2004, five countries -- El Salvador, Kenya, the Philippines, Iceland and Costa Rica -- generate more than 15% of their electricity from geothermal sources. In Iceland, geothermal energy is so cheap that some sections of pavement are heated. In the United States, roughly 50,000 geothermal heat pumps are installed every year. The U.S. leads the world in geothermal exploitation. The combined production of geothermal energy for all uses places third among renewable energy sources, following hydroelectricity and biomass, and ahead of solar and wind.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Geothermal Heating and Cooling Systems in Your Connecticut Home - Benefits of Geothermal Energy: energy efficiency. GHPs require 25% to 50% less electricity than conventional heating and cooling systems. According to the EPA, geothermal heat pumps can reduce energy consumption — and corresponding emissions — up to 44%, compared to air-source heat pumps, and up to 72%, compared to electric resistance heating with standard air-conditioning equipment. design flexibility. Geothermal heat pump systems can be installed in both new and retrofit construction. Equipment rooms can be scaled down in size because the hardware requires less space than is needed by conventional HVAC systems. GHP systems also provide excellent "zone" space conditioning, which allows different parts of a home to be heated or cooled to different temperatures. durability. Since GHP systems have relatively few moving parts and the parts are sheltered inside a building, the systems are durable and reliable. The underground piping often carries warranties of 25 to 50 years, and the heat pumps can last more than 20 years. The components are easily accessible, which helps ensure that the required maintenance is performed on a timely basis. noise reduction. As they have no outside condensing units (such as those in air conditioners), there's no noise outside the home. Geothermal heat pumps are so quiet inside of a house that users may not be aware they are operating.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Geothermal Heating and Cooling Systems in Your Connecticut Home - How do geothermal systems work? A geothermal heat pump, unlike a furnace, does not create heat by burning fuel. Instead, it collects the earth's natural heat through a series of pipes, called a loop, installed below the frost line. At that depth, which varies by climate zone, the soil remains at a relatively constant temperature throughout the year. Fluid circulates through the loop and carries heat to the house. There, an electrically driven compressor and a heat exchanger concentrate the heat and release it inside the home at a higher temperature, where ductwork distributes the heat to different rooms. In summer, the underground loop draws excess heat from the house and allows it to be absorbed into the earth. The system cools the home in the same way that a refrigerator keeps food cool -- by drawing heat from the interior, rather than by forcing in cold air.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Geothermal Heating and Cooling Systems in Your Connecticut Home - open-loop system:  This type of system uses well or surface water as the heat exchange fluid that circulates directly through the GHP system. Once it has circulated through the system, the water returns to the ground through the well, a recharge well, or surface discharge. This option is practical only where there is an adequate supply of relatively clean water, which must comply with local codes and regulations regarding groundwater discharge.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Your house still didn't sell? Maybe you just need another Realtor. - So please don't get discouraged..  Think about it just for a second. If you are reading this article, you're reading it because I have finessed my own marketing and I can finesse your home's marketing and get your home sold, too. Proper marketing is always appropriate marketing, and having the knowledge, ability and wherewithal to position your home IN the market, and not just put it "on the market".</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Safety Tips for Your Connecticut Home: Using and Maintaining Fire Extinguishers - Fire extinguishers are distinguished based on the types of fires on which they are effective. These fires are classified by their fuel source and assigned identifying letters as follows: “A” class – Fires that result from ordinary combustibles, such as wood and paper. “B” class – Fires that result from combustible liquids, such as kerosene, gasoline, oil, and grease. “C” class – Fires of an electrical nature. These result from the combustion of circuit breakers, wires, outlets, and other electrical devices and equipment. Extinguishers designed to handle this type of fire cannot use chemicals that are conductive since conductive agents increase the risk of electric shock to the operator. “D” class – Fires resulting from combustible metals, such as sodium, potassium, titanium, and magnesium. These fires occur mostly in chemical laboratories and are rare in most other environments. “K” class – These types of fires consume vegetable oils, animal fats, and generally happen in kitchens.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Safety Tips for Your Connecticut Home: Using and Maintaining Fire Extinguishers - When should a fire extinguisher be used? Small fires can be controlled through the use of household or commercial fire extinguishers. A household extinguisher can often completely douse a very small fire and prevent the need for professional assistance. Even if a fire cannot be completely doused, a homeowner can potentially control a blaze long enough with an extinguisher for firefighters to arrive. Fire extinguishers should not be used if the operator is not sure they have the proper type of extinguisher, if they are not sure how to use it, or if they cannot avoid smoke or are in imminent danger.   If the operation of an extinguisher will place building occupants in danger, they should evacuate the building and wait for fire crews to arrive.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Those Woodpeckers Can Really Cause Damage to Your Connecticut Home</image:title>
      <image:caption>While little is known or documented about the extent of woodpecker damage to homes nationwide, the states of Michigan, Louisiana and Wisconsin have estimated the cost of repair to their residences to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. One survey of woodpecker damage to homes reported an average loss of $300 per incident. Such destruction is rare in urban areas, but it can be extensive in suburban and wooded areas, even where woodpeckers seem to have plenty of natural alternatives to houses. InterNACHI inspectors can assist their clients with some tips to locate and address damage, as well as discourage these sometimes troublesome birds.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Those Woodpeckers Can Really Cause Damage to Your Connecticut Home</image:title>
      <image:caption>Beyond Cosmetic Damage Much of the damage inflicted to structures is caused specifically by the Northern Flicker (Colaptes auratus), which can be identified in flight by a yellow or salmon tint under the wings and tail feathers, and a black or red mustache extending from the gape of the beak to below the eyes. The hairy woodpecker (Picoides villosus) and the downy woodpecker (Picoides pubescens) can also be destructive. Woodpecker damage, in addition to being problematic in itself, also encourages infestation of insects and other wildlife by providing an entry point into the structure.  These same avenues allow rainwater to invade the structure, which can lead to mold growth and other damaging and hazardous conditions. Wood is not the only building material at risk of attack by woodpeckers. The birds may even pierce plumbing and electrical lines behind a house’s siding. In addition to homes, inspectors and homeowners should be on the lookout for serious woodpecker</image:caption>

New construction is typically more prone to insect infestation than well-seasoned wood at least two years old; drumming holes, appearing as many small, shallow holes in a cluster, or in wider, cone-shaped depressions along the corners or fascia and trim boards of a house. Woodpeckers also drum on metallic surfaces, such as aluminum siding, metal downspouts, gutters, chimneys, vents and antennae poles. A male drums to signal a potential mate by loudly and rapidly tapping on a resonating material during the spring breeding season, although he may drum at other times of the year to announce his claim to a territory. While drumming damage is typically minimal, the noise can be bothersome for building occupants, especially in the early morning when they’re trying to sleep; and</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Those Woodpeckers Can Really Cause Damage to Your Connecticut Home - Place cavity-type nest boxes on buildings in the vicinity of damage. Not only will this measure encourage woodpeckers to abandon houses for nest boxes, but once there, they will defend their territory and discourage other woodpeckers from approaching. Nest boxes should be shaped and sized for the species of woodpecker that is drilling holes, incorporating a front-sloping, hinged roof to shed rain. Fill the box with sawdust to encourage the bird to excavate it to the desired level. Note that while this measure will discourage woodpecker roosting and nesting, it will not prevent the birds from foraging or drumming on the house. Install some netting. To control bird pests, the University of California's Agriculture and Natural Resources Integrated Pest Management Program recommends placing lightweight, 3/4-inch (1.9 cm) plastic mesh or screen material over the area that woodpeckers may be damaging.  Hang the netting from the outside edge of the eave down the side of the house</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Basic Waterproofing for Your Connecticut Basement - Basements are typically the area of a structure most at risk for water damage because they are located below grade and surrounded by soil.  Soil releases water it has absorbed during rain or when snow melts, and the water can end up in the basement through leaks or cracks.  Water can even migrate through solid concrete walls via capillary action, which is a phenomenon whereby liquid spontaneously rises in a narrow space, such as a thin tube, or via porous materials.  Wet basements can cause problems that include peeling paint, toxic mold contamination, building rot, foundation collapse, and termite damage.  Even interior air quality can be affected if naturally occurring gasses released by the soil are being transmitted into the basement.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Properly waterproofing a basement will lessen the risk of damage caused by moisture or water.  Homeowners will want to be aware of what they can do to keep their basements dry and safe from damage.  Inspectors can also benefit from being aware of these basic strategies for preventing leaks and floods.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Basic Waterproofing for Your Connecticut Basement - Install and maintain gutters and downspouts so that they route all rainwater and snow melt far enough away from the foundation of the building to ensure that pooling does not occur near the walls of the structure.  At least 10 feet from the building is best, and at the point where water leaves the downspout, it should be able to flow freely away from the foundation instead of back toward it, and should not be collecting in pools.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The finish grade should be sloped away from the building for 10 to 15 feet.  Low spots that may lead to water pooling should be evened out to prevent the possibility of standing water near the foundation. Shallow ditches called swales should be used in conditions where one or more sides of the building face an upward slope.  A swale should slope away from the building for 10 to 15 feet, at which point it can empty into another swale that directs water around to the downhill-side of the building, leading it away from the foundation.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Basic Waterproofing for Your Connecticut Basement - Repair all cracks and holes.</image:title>
      <image:caption>If leaks or seepage is occurring in the basement's interior, water and moisture are most likely entering through small cracks or holes.  The cracks or holes could be the result of several things.  Poor workmanship during the original build may be making itself apparent in the form of cracks or holes.  Water pressure from the outside may be building up, forcing water through walls.  The house may have settled, causing cracks in the floor or walls.  Repairing all cracks and small holes will help prevent leaks and floods.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Basic Waterproofing for Your Connecticut Basement - Any cracks larger than about 1/8-inch should be filled with mortar made from one part cement and two parts fine sand, with just enough water to make a fairly stiff mortar.  It should be pressed firmly into all parts of the larger cracks and holes to be sure that no air bubbles or pockets remain.  As long as water is not being forced through basement walls due to outside pressure, the application of mortar with a standard trowel will be sufficient if special care is taken to fill all cracks completely. If water is being forced through by outside pressure, a slightly different method of patching with mortar can be used.  Surface areas of walls or floors with cracks should first be chiseled out a bit at the mouth of the crack and all along its length.  Using a chipping chisel and hammer or a cold chisel, cut a dovetail groove along the mouth of each crack to be filled, and then apply the mortar thoroughly.  The dovetail groove, once filled, should be strong enough to resist the force of pressure that was pushing water through the crack.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Basic Waterproofing for Your Connecticut Basement - Sodium silicate must be applied only to bare concrete, concrete block or masonry that has been cleaned thoroughly and is free of any dirt, oil, adhesives, paint and grease.  This will ensure that it penetrates the substrate properly and fills in all microscopic cracks.  It can be applied using a garden sprayer, roller or brush to a surface that has first been lightly dampened with a mop or brush.  Apply two to three coats to the concrete, waiting 10 to 20 minutes between each application.  Concrete block and masonry will take three to four coats, with the same 10 to 20 minutes between applications.  Any excess should then be wiped away.  Sodium silicate should not be over-applied or it will not be completely absorbed by the substrate, leaving a white residue.</image:title>

      <image:caption>Some homeowners get a little skittish about keyboxes, and think that just anyone can gain access anytime, and they will have no privacy whatsoever when their home is on the market, but the most common type of lockbox in our area is an Electronic Lockbox, which has many built in safeguards, and will not scratch your door like the older metal boxes. Its solid construction is resistant to attack, and only the individuals authorized by the Association/MLS carrying an electronic key or smartphone software can enter homes. The keybox then records the agent’s identity, office, phone number and time the KeyBox is opened.</image:caption>

You will generally see these types of keyboxes on bank owned properties, vacant homes where contractors need access, or homes that are listed on the perimeters of the MLS service areas. As agents, we have learned that homes that have a  Key Box sell faster and for more money.  Having a Key Box allows real estate agents to preview and show you home conveniently, and without compromising your family's security.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Advantages and Disadvantages of Clapboard Siding for your CT Home</image:title>
      <image:caption>Wood siding has been in use for a long time and is extremely popular.  While newer, more modern materials have become very fashionable recently because of the benefits they provide in terms of weathering and damage resistance, wood siding is still commonly found on homes all over the world.  InterNACHI inspectors will frequently come across this type of exterior cladding during inspections.  Inspectors and homeowners alike can benefit from knowing more about the different kinds of wood siding, its advantages and disadvantages, and some signs that problems may be occurring.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Pros and Cons of Central Vacuum Systems for Your Connecticut Home - While many Americans are unfamiliar with central vacuums, they are not new inventions; the idea dates back as far as the 1850s in Sweden, where horse-powered fans were used to create suction through in-wall plumbing. Horses were later replaced by servants, who pumped giant bellows or pedaled stationary bicycles, until electric motors eventually took over. Shortly thereafter, however, portable vacuum cleaners became available, and central vacuum systems were largely forgotten due to their relative expense. Their hibernation ended by the 1990s when growing house sizes and concerns over air quality combined with the availability of cheaper plastic piping, more powerful motors and refined filtration systems. Yet, even today, American homes are dependent on portable vacuum cleaners, in contrast with Canadian and Scandinavian homes, where central vacuum systems are more common.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Tips for CT Landlords: Should You Allow Pets in Your Rental Property? - The seemingly perfect tenant comes along after a string of prospects with poor credit, and they have a pet. If your property has been vacant for longer than you would like, it can be a tough decision. So what do you do? If you are a new Landlord and this is your first tenant or one of your first tenants, you may want to consider dropping by their current residence to see how clean it is, and if there is any pet damage. Do this unannounced, but let them know when you interview them that you may want to stop by their home, before you make a decision</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you have had prior bad experiences with tenants that have had  pets,  it may not matter. If you are open to the idea, but somewhat skeptical (as you should be) take these items into consideration.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Federal and Connecticut Law About Telemarketers Contacting You at Your Home - If so, you’re not alone. In 2003, federal do-not-call legislation was signed into law, and commercial telemarketers must comply with the provisions of the National Do Not Call Registry. The registry is managed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC); it is a list of telephone numbers from consumers who have indicated their preference to limit the telemarketing calls they receive. The registry applies to any plan, program, or campaign to sell goods and services through interstate phone calls.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - What Qualifications Should You Look for in Your Next REALTOR? - The real estate market in Fairfield County  is improving, however it is still somewhat sluggish, due to a lack of sorely needed inventory. The number of available homes  for sale is seasonally low, but compounding that, is the fact that the homes currently for sale are not considered attractive.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Should you Make an Offer on an Overpriced Home? - If you are actively looking for a home, you've seen them. Probably a lot of them. Overpriced homes for sale. But what if you like that house? Will the seller ever negotiate to a reasonable price on that home you want to buy in Connecticut? You won't know unless you have the right agent on your side, and unless you try. It's important to have a good understanding of the different  types of seller motivations that influence listing prices and the amount of negotiations that seller is willing to consider, in order to arrive at the decision as to whether to place an offer on that particular house or not.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Should you Make an Offer on an Overpriced Home? - Heating Systems   The heating system is used most during the winter so it’s a good idea to make sure that it works before it’s desperately needed. The following inspection and maintenance tips can be of some help to homeowners: Test the furnace by raising the temperature on the thermostat. If it does not respond to the adjustment quickly it might be broken. Replace the air filter if it’s dirty. If the furnace is equipped with an oil or propane tank, the tank should be full.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Winterizing Your Vacant Connecticut Home - Plumbing System Water damage caused by bursting pipes during cold weather can be devastating. A ruptured pipe will release water and not stop until someone shuts off the water. If no one is home to do this, an enormous quantity of water can flood a house and cause thousands of dollars' worth of damage. Even during very small ruptures or ruptures that are stopped quickly, water leakage can result in mold and property damage. Broken water pipes can be costly to repair.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Winterizing Your Vacant Connecticut Home - Heating Systems   The heating system is used most during the winter so it’s a good idea to make sure that it works before it’s desperately needed. The following inspection and maintenance tips can be of some help to homeowners: Test the furnace by raising the temperature on the thermostat. If it does not respond to the adjustment quickly it might be broken. Replace the air filter if it’s dirty. If the furnace is equipped with an oil or propane tank, the tank should be full.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Selling Your Fairfield County CT Home: Is it as Attractive as You Think It Is? - The real estate market in Fairfield County  is improving, however it is still somewhat sluggish, due to a lack of sorely needed inventory. The number of available homes  for sale is seasonally low, but compounding that, is the fact that the homes currently for sale are not considered attractive.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Just to clarify, an "attractive" home for sale refers to its condition, aesthetics, functionality,  ability to sell on a timely basis, and/or price.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - What You Need to Know About Adjustable Lally Columns in Your CT Home - A few facts about adjustable steel columns: They are usually found in basements. In some parts of North America, adjustable steel columns are called lally columns, although this term sometimes applies to columns that are concrete-filled and non-adjustable. They can be manufactured as multi-part assembles, sometimes called telescopic steel columns, or as single-piece columns. The following are potentially defective conditions: The post is less than 3 inches in diameter. According to the 2006 International Residential Code (IRC), Section R407.3, columns (including adjustable steel columns)... "shall not be less than 3-inch diameter standard pipe." Poles smaller than 3 inches violate the IRC, although they are not necessarily defective. A 2½-inch post may be adequate to support the load above it, while a 4-inch post can buckle if the load exceeds the structural capacity of the post. Structural engineers -- not inspectors -- decide whether adjustable steel posts are of adequate size. The post is not protected by rust-inhibitive paint. The IRC Section R407.2 states: All surfaces (inside and outside) of steel columns shall be given a shop coat of rust-inhibitive paint, except for corrosion-resistant steel and steel treated with coatings to provide corrosion resistance.Inspectors will not be able to identify paint as rust-inhibitive. In dry climates where rust is not as much of a problem, rust-inhibitive paint may not be necessary. Visible signs of rust constitute a potential defect. The post is not straight. According to some sources, the maximum lateral displacement between the top and bottom of the post should not exceed 1 inch. However, tolerable lateral displacement is affected by many factors, such as the height and diameter of the post. The post should also not bend at its mid-point. Bending is an indication that the column cannot bear the weight of the house. The column is not mechanically connected to the floor. An inspector may not be able to confirm whether a connection between the post and the floor exists if this connection has been covered by concrete. The column is not connected to the beam. The post should be mechanically connected to the beam above to provide additional resistance against lateral displacement. More than 3 inches of the screw thread are exposed. There are cracks in upstairs walls. This condition may indicate a failure of the columns.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Should You Remodel Your Connecticut Home or Move? - Living with contractors working on your house is no joy, as anyone who has done so  can attest to. They come late, the work is disruptive to the rest of the home, they don't come at all some days, and the job  never seems to be completed on schedule. So is it time to remodel or just look for a new home?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Before you decide on any major home improvement project, speak with a REALTOR® (that's me!) who knows your neighborhood. Tell the area real estate agent specifically what  the changes are that you have in mind, and get an honest opinion as to whether you will be "over-improving" your home for your neighborhood.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Fire Safety Tips for Your Connecticut Home With an Attached Garage</image:title>
      <image:caption>An attached garage is a garage that is physically attached to a house. Fires that begin in attached garages are more likely to spread to living areas than fires that originate in detached garages. For this reason, combined with the multitude of flammable materials commonly found in garages, attached garages should be adequately sealed from living areas. A properly sealed attached garage will ideally restrict the potential spread of fire long enough to allow the occupants time to escape the home or building.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - The Eight Great Reasons to Sell Your CT Home During the Holiday Season - If you have been wanting to sell your home, but  felt that the holiday season is just the wrong time to begin the process, think again. You may already know, or have heard that timing is everything, and it truly is. The Eight Great reasons to  put your home on the market amidst the holiday hoopla are:</image:title>
      <image:caption>1.  Did you know than over TEN percent of annual sales occur during the holiday season?   2. There is much less inventory for buyers to choose from, and that means less competition for you, and maybe even a higher price. 3. The buyers that are out and looking are quite serious and need or want to buy, otherwise they would probably be at the mall shopping for gifts.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Relocating in CT? How to Determine the Best Resale Value Town vs. Town - If a job transfer, promotion, or a new job has you relocating within Connecticut to a part of the state that you are not so familiar with, the relocation can be just as overwhelming or daunting as moving into an entirely different part of the country. Even though your move is inside Connecticut, it's still  in unfamiliar territory and having  someone look out for your best interests of the utmost importance.</image:title>
      <image:caption>That's where your choice of a Realtor is crucial. You will need to rely on an agent's expertise to guide you in the best direction for anticipated resale value of homes that are within your budget in the general area that you choose to live in.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Is a Hubbard Clause Right For Your Connecticut Home Purchase or Sale? - Current homeowners who wish to buy another home, but need to sell their home first in order to use the equity as a downpayment can wonder if they should sell the home they own first, or find the home that they wish to buy first, and then start the process of selling their home. In the case of the latter, the homeowner who wishes to purchase a new home should consider placing an offer with a "Hubbard Clause" rider. A "Hubbard Clause" is a contingency in (or addendum/rider to ) a purchase agreement that expressly conditions the buyer's offer upon their ability to sell and close on another home or property. It is almost like a first right of refusal to purchase the property- ALMOST, but not quite. Think of it like "reserving a right to buy a particular property" while trying to sell the one you own.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Why Your Purchase or Sale May Not be Considered an Arms Length Transaction. - You may have heard the term before and thought that it probably did not apply to you, or that it didn't really matter one way or the other. But it can, and it does- and it also applies to your home purchase or sale with non-arms length transaction(s) that were recently consummated in your immediate neighborhood.</image:title>

      <image:caption>That's for good reason, and if you only did ONE thing to help you sell your home besides pricing it properly, with the help of a great agent (like me) cleaning and de-cluttering would be the single best way for you to help your home sell as quickly as possible, and for as much money as the market will bear. We have put together our Top Ten list of areas to clean and declutter  for your convenience.</image:caption>

Keep ladders, kites, equipment and anything else away from overhead power lines.</image:title>

      <image:caption>The best way to determine whether or not a home has hard water is to have it tested. For homes served by municipal water systems, you can ask the water supplier about the hardness level of the water they deliver. Private water supplies can be tested for hardness. However, hard water (especially if it is excessively hard) can be detected by inspectors and their clients through the negative effects it has on a home. The most common problems associated with hard water are:</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Selling Your Connecticut Home? All Real Estate Agents are NOT Created Equal. - Far too often, a homeowner or homebuyer will contact a real estate agent,  either by phone or by email, and just work with that agent, not realizing that every agent offers different services, and different levels of service  that may be more appealing for their particular situation. Most often, additional services, or levels of service do not come at a higher price. It's just the way the particular agent conducts his/her business. Let's take for example, a typical  Home Seller scenario, and some of the questions one might ask. The answers will vary greatly from agent to agent.

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Common Problems With Attic Pull-Down Ladders in the Home</image:title>
      <image:caption>Homeowners, not professional carpenters, usually install attic pull-down ladders. Evidence of this distinction can be observed in consistently shoddy and dangerous work that rarely meets safety standards. Some of the more common defective conditions observed by inspectors include: cut bottom cord of structural truss. Often, homeowners will cut through a structural member in the field while installing a pull-down ladder, unknowingly weakening the structure. Structural members should not be modified in the field without an engineer’s approval; fastened with improper nails or screws. Homeowners often use drywall or deck screws rather than the standard 16d penny nails or ¼” x 3” lag screws. Nails and screws that are intended for other purposes may have reduced shear strength and they may not support pull-down ladders; fastened with an insufficient number of nails or screws. Manufacturers provide a certain number of nails with instructions that they all be used, and they probably do this for a good reason. Inspectors should be wary of “place nail here” notices that are nowhere near any nails;</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Buying a Home in Connecticut? Have You Seen the Disclosures?</image:title>
      <image:caption>In Connecticut, like many other states, sellers are required to disclose any known defects to the buyer  in writing prior to the buyer making an offer on the property.  There are some exceptions to this regulation, however,  if the seller that falls under this  Public Act fails to comply, he/she is subject to give the buyer a  $300 credit at closing.   Sometimes,  time is of the essence  as far as a buyer writing up an offer, and disclosures are not available at the time of the initial offer. In that instance, it is advised that the buyer makes an offer subject to their favorable review of teh disclosures, and the seller should ensure that teh buyer receives the disclosures as quikly as possible.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Facts about lightning: Benjamin Franklin invented the first lightning rod in 1752 –- a kite outfitted with a metal key -- while waiting impatiently for the completion of a church on top of which he would mount a lightning rod. Lightning comes up from the earth –- as well as down from the cloud -- from high vertical features such as chimneys and trees. A typical lightning bolt carries 50,000 amps, tens of millions of volts, and can reach 50,000° F. “Superbolts” may be 100 times more powerful than typical bolts, and travel much farther, too; one such superbolt went from Waco to Dallas, Texas, after having traveled</image:caption>

      <image:caption>These claims have lead to a class-action lawsuit against manufacturers of CCST (Titeflex, Ward, OmegaFlex and Parker Hannifin) installed in homes as of September 5, 2006. Plaintiffs claim that the CSST tubing is not thick enough to prevent becoming damaged in the event of a lightning strike, and that CSST manufacturers failed to warn consumers about such dangers. The defendants claim that CSST is safe if properly installed, in accordance with local codes and the manufacturers’ instructions. According to the Lightning Protection Institute, dangerous CSST has been installed in more than a million homes in the United States. Identification of CSST</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - The Offer is Low, but IT IS CASH. Should You Accept it? - Most of the time, the all cash offers are made with a lower than average list price to sale price ratio. (You can check your town stats for this percentage right here on our website), and then   refer to the four questions above.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - The Real Estate Market is Up- or Prices Have Dropped Again. Will the Experts Make Up Their Minds? - Oh.... so many analysts, and even more opinions as to what the real estate market is doing, or not doing, or going to do. Read one report, and everything is rosy. Read another, and the market is worse off than it was nine years ago. Up, down. Good, bad. Rosy, bleak. The "noise" is deafening. There are (probably TOO) many companies and/or agencies besides the experts and analysts that report on the real estate market.  Do not trust everything that you read. Even the most seemingly reliable of sources do not get it right. Professionaly speaking,  I would consider the top three most reliable national real estate market sources as: Case-Shiller, Realtor.org, and Zillow* (but only for its Zillow Home Forecast, and NOT for individual home values)</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Buying or Selling a Home? What You Need to Know About Pet Allergens - Animal hair, despite popular belief, is not considered to be a significant allergen. However, hair can collect pollen, dust, mold, and other allergens.   There are no "non-allergenic" breeds of dogs or cats. Some breeds of both species, however, are believed to be hypoallergenic; anecdotal reports claim that the Siberian, rex and sphynx cat breeds are less likely to provoke an allergic attack than most other cats. Similarly, dog breeds, such as poodles and schnauzers, have been reported to be less allergenic. None of these claims has been validated scientifically.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Buying or Selling a Home? What You Need to Know About Pet Allergens - Keep the pet outdoors as much as possible. Allergic individuals should not hug, pet or kiss their pets. Have your pet spayed or neutered. The allergen produced by a cat is highest in unaltered males and lowest in altered males.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Helpful Garage Tips for Your Auto - and Avoiding Door Dings - Even when you  park in your own garage,  your car is susceptible to getting those  dreaded dings , especially if your garage space is somewhat  tight, or if you have an SUV, or a coupe with larger passenger doors. When you have a two car garage, you most likely have a structural lally column  which also is an annoying culprit.  Attach a remnant piece of carpet  around the first 3' or 4' feet starting at the base of the column, so if your car door happens to hit the column when you open it, the carpet acts as a buffer to the metal and   the risk of chipped paint is greatly minimized.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Negotiating in Good Faith. Always Put Your Best (and Honest) Foot Forward. - Too many times, others do not negotiate in good faith, return calls or emails  as promptly as you or your agent do, and may have hidden agendas as to why they are hedging on accepting your offer, or even counter-offering your bid, and  to top it all off, you may not ever find out what their reasons are.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Recently,  I had a client who placed an offer in on a property where it appeared that the listing agent and owner did not negotiate in good faith, and as upsetting as that may be, it can happen. It's very unfortunate, but you must remember that not everyone operates with the same high principles that you do.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Mixed Results for 2012 First Quarter Housing Market in Fairfield County CT - The housing market in southwestern Connecticut can be quite different from one town to the next, and the real estate market in some towns is still quite volatile, while others are showing improvements.

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Sellers: Get Rid of Those Foul Household Odors - That Home stinks. Literally. Oh, no! You don't want anyone ever sayng that about your home. Not friends, not family, not your Realtor, and certainly not any buyers. Most often, sellers with ... shall I say... malodorous homes.... are not even aware of it. It is absolutely NOT to say that they are not clean people. It is absolutely NOT to say that they are bad people because their house doesn't smell like you and I think it should. A home can maintan an odor for many different reasons, and the bottom line is to get to the source and then address it.  And, by the way, masking odors really doesn't work.</image:title>

There ARE ways to figure out when the market is about to turn the corner on a positive note, and the very first tip off is fewer For Sale signs popping up around town.</image:title>

You may have interviewed a few agents, and you seem to feel that one agent stands above the rest.  Only thing is, their office is not located in your town. Is it a good or bad idea to list with an agent that does not specialize in your town?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Years ago, that would have been a bad idea. I mean MANY years ago, before the internet was such a driving force in home sales.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - All About Hydronic Heating Systems for Your Home - When you think of radiant heat,  (that is- a heating system within the flooring), you might think of what the electric  conductors that run through the flooring creating that cozy  warmth, but more efficient systems exist and they are "hydronic". Hydronic systems use a boiler to heat hot water, and a pump to circulate that hot water in flexible plastic tubing installed the floor. Hydronic systems no longer need to be installed ONLY in concrete floors- technology has come a long way.  The pipes, embedded in the floor, carry heated water that conduct warmth to the surface of the floor where it transfers the heat into the room.</image:title>

      <image:caption>Properly designed hydronic systems control the surface temperature and air temperature  of a room to maintain optimal comfort.  Hydronic heat emitters, such as radiant floors raise the average surface temperature of these rooms, and since the human body is especially responsive to radiant heat loss, this type of heat significantly enhances comfort.</image:caption>

Inside of the box are coils of pipe that are surrounded by thousands of thin metal "fins" that allow the coils more surface area to exchange heat. Follow these tips when cleaning the exterior condenser unit and its inner components -- after turning off power to the unit!</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Maintenance Tips For Your Central Air Conditioning System - Clean the Air Filter</image:title>
      <image:caption>Air filters remove pollen, dust and other particles that would otherwise circulate indoors. Most filters are typically rectangular in shape and about 20 inches by 16 inches, and about 1 inch thick. They slide into the main ductwork near the inside fan unit. The filter should be periodically washed or replaced, depending on the manufacturer’s instructions. A dirty air filter will not only degrade indoor air quality, but it will also strain the motor to work harder to move air through it, increasing energy costs and reducing energy efficiency. The filter should be replaced monthly during heavy use during the cooling seasons. You may need to change the filter more often if the air conditioner is in constant use, if building occupants have respiratory problems,if  you have pets with fur, or if dusty conditions are present.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - This Week's Supreme Court Ruling on ObamaCare Affects the Real Estate Market, too. - "Beginning January 1, 2013, ObamaCare imposes a 3.8% Medicare tax on unearned income, including the sale of single family homes, townhouses, co-ops, condominiums, and even rental income. In February 2010, 5.02 million homes were sold, according to the National Association of Realtors. On any given day, the sale of a house, townhome, condominium, co-op, or income from a rental property can push middle-income families over the $250,000 threshold and slam them with a new tax they can’t afford.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - All About Carpenter Ants, Preventative Measures, and Your Connecticut Home</image:title>
      <image:caption>Termites and ants both construct nests in moist wood, but ant nests are typically smoother and lack mud structures commonly found in termite nests. Also, termites actually subsist on wood, so the structural damage they leave it their wake is generally more severe than that caused by ants, which merely tunnel through wood. Nests Carpenter ants nest in both moist and dry wood, but they prefer moist wood. Accordingly, nests are more likely to be found in wood dampened by water leaks, such as wood around bathtubs and sinks, poorly sealed windows and door frames, roof leaks and poorly flashed chimneys. Nests are especially common in moist, hollow spaces, such as the wall void behind a dishwasher and in a hollow deck column. As there will often be no external signs of damage, probing the wood with a screwdriver helps reveal the excavated "galleries." Another technique for locating hidden nests is to tap along baseboards and other wood surfaces with the blunt end of a screwdriver while listening for the hollow sound of tunneled wood. If a nest is nearby, carpenter ants often will respond by making a rustling sound within the nest.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - 2012-2013 Mill Rates in Fairfield County CT. Property Taxes Changing - All Connecticut towns prepare a budget for the year and set a new mill rate for property owners to pay for that budget. If you look at the record of your property as it exists in Town Hall, you will see that your property is appraised at one value, and assessed at another value. Your new property taxes are determined by multiplying the mill rate by the assessment, which is 70 percent of the appraised value.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Basement Level Bedrooms Need "Egress" Windows For Safety - If you’re finishing your basement or are repurposing it to include bedrooms, your action plan must include egress windows—officially known as “Emergency Escape and Rescue Openings” (EEROs). These openings allow your family to get out easily in an emergency and allow emergency crews to get in. These must-have safety features boast another benefit: They admit daylight, which instantly brightens a formerly dark and dreary basement.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Inspecting Residential Home Heating Oil Tanks In Connecticut - Heating oil, which is more commonly known as Fuel Oil No. 2, is used to heat 7.7 million American homes each year, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Heating oil is in a category of fuel oil that also includes Fuel Oil No. 1 (kerosene), range oil and jet fuel. It is essentially the same as diesel fuel except without dye (and the state taxes). For home heating use, oil is usually stored in tanks that are underground, in basements, or above ground outside of the house. Heating oil is safe when stored and used appropriately, but accidental spills and undetected leaks can endanger health, property and the environment. Inspectors and their clients should be aware of some of the hazards of a leaking or damaged above-ground oil tank.   (Note:  For a discussion concerning the dangers of submerged or underground fuel storage tanks, see our article on Underground Fuel Storage Tank Hazards and Inspection.)</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Inspecting Residential Home Heating Oil Tanks In Connecticut - Turn off all sources of flames or sparks in the area, such as pilot lights in water heaters and furnaces. Unplug any sparking mechanisms. Do not smoke or light matches in the area. While heating oil is less flammable than gasoline, it is still possible for it to ignite. Ventilate the area. Clothes and furniture will absorb the oil smell and may need to be discarded. Open windows and close cold-air returns, heat registers and other openings that may allow fumes to enter other areas of the home. Make every effort to seal off any air flow between the spill and the inhabited areas of the home.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Making an Offer To Purchase On a Home</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you are new to the whole home-buying process, and are ready to look at houses, or have stumbled upon one at an open house,  there are a few things you should know about placing your offer to purchase on a home. First things first. Make sure you that you represented by a Realtor with strong negotiating skills. Even if you have a few prior home purchases under your belt,  there are changes to local customs,  standard contingencies that were not  necessary even a few years ago, and additional situations you might get yourself in, where having a seasoned, professional and experienced Realtor (like me) would be of  great benefit to you.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Delay After Delay- Are You a Seller Being "Held Hostage" by Your Buyer?</image:title>
      <image:caption>It can be QUITE frustrating. You get through the negotiating process, the building inspection, and contract signing, and then the buyer seems to proceed in virtual Slo-Mo . The closing is set for one date, and then it gets pushed off. It gets pushed off again, and yet again. I sincerely hope that no seller has to go through this scenario, and unfortunately it happens. Actually, it seems to happen more frequently these past few months. Your first inclination is to blame "some one" or " some entity". Now while someone or some thing s certainly slowing up the transaction, it doesn't help to get angry about it. It just never gets you anywhere except discouraged.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Is The Town's Tax Assessment of Your Property an Accurate Indicator of Value?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Most people know that the property tax on their home is determined by its assessment. In Connecticut, your property assessment is equal to 70 percent of its appraised value at the time of valuation. So, if your home is valued at $1,000,000, your assessment (or the amount that you would pay taxes on) would be $700,000. In Connecticut, it is mandated that towns review your property's value every five years. Sometimes the appraisal company will ask to gain access into your home, other times, and most often, they do not request an interior inspection.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - The Importance of Bathroom Fans and Ducts - Newer fans may be very quiet but work just fine. Older fans may be very noisy or very quiet. If an older fan is quiet, it may not be working well. Inspectors can test for adequate fan airflow with a chemical smoke pencil or a powder puff bottle, but such tests exceed InterNACHI's Standards of Practice.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Bathroom ventilation fans should be inspected for dust buildup that can impede air flow. Particles of moisture-laden animal dander and lint are attracted to the fan because of its static charge. Inspectors should comment on dirty fan covers.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>If you have decided to sell your home, a purchase a new one, you have probably performed searches online to find an agent to represent you. Some of those agents have initials after their name, however most do not. Should you care if an agent has those initials, or multiple sets of initials after their name? The short answer is yes. Those initials are only for agents who have completed  (and passed) advanced education in real estate through  the National Association of REALTORS, and are referred to in the industry as designations.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Bring Your Cell Phone When You Go Look at That House. - Huh? To take pictures? To post your find on facebook, or to tweet about it? Well, sure, that's OK, too- but bring your cell phone to make sure you get a good reception at that location if its especially important to you.</image:title>
      <image:caption>You can and would be very surprised at the amount of locations that get very poor signals. It doesn't matter if you are in a large town or city, or at what seems to be an obvious location that you would get  those five bars. Not necessarily so- and more and more people rely SOLELY on their cell phone for all of their telecommunications. According to the  Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association  headquartered in Washington, DC , there were over 331 million wireless subscriber connections as of December 2011. The CTIA  also reports  that nearly 32 percent of  households in the US  have cellular service only, with NO Land line.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Another Great Idea For Your Home's Resale Value - Storm Windows</image:title>
      <image:caption>Not every home has storm windows, mainly because many homeowners have not recognized their importance for safety, efficiency, and resale, not to mention noise reduction. High temperatures, humidity, strong winds and hurricanes can really take a toll on homes. You can protect your home against the extreme elements by adding storm windows. Less expensive than complete window replacements, storm windows add a layer of protection to your home and help increase your comfort. If you’re adding or updating storm windows, here are some things to consider: Intense sun rays: Look for storm windows that feature low-emissivity (low-e) glass coatings. These panes have been treated to reduce the sun’s radiation. Your home will be more comfortable and your furniture and indoor surfaces will fade less.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Relocating To, From or Within Connecticut? Create Your Moving Checklist - First things first: When you decide that you are ready to move, and put your home on the market, start packing incidentals that you rarely use.  You won't miss them, and it will be one less thing that you will have to worry about.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Create your checklist :  You might want to organize it by room (living room, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen), or by family member, or by types of items (outdoor items, seasonal items, clothing, pet items, etc.). You should begin creating your moving checklist  as soon as you learn that you’ll be moving. That way it will make the process more organized, much less stressful and it will also nsure that you don’t forget anything.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Time to Downsize Your Connecticut Home? Here Are Some Tips - Getting by with less is often easier said than done - especially when you’re parting with a lifetime of possessions. But if you’re considering a move to a smaller place - or are just ready to simplify your life - it’s smart to pare down, says Heather Starr, a Certified Home Staging Expert and Realtor. "There’s a peace and joy in having a de-cluttered, organized home," Starr says. "Things are easier to find." Plus, if you donate or sell your gently used items, you may benefit from a tax deduction or a cash boost.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Is a Property Tax Revaluation Coming to Your Connecticut Town? - Each of Connecticut's 169 towns and cities are mandated to perform a revaluation of your home every five years. That's when the town re-assesses your home's value.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The reason and purpose for a reassessment is to ensure that all properties are assessed fairly at a "uniform" level of assessment. The assessor reviews recent property sales and other indicators, and then reviews the assessments in order to determine whether individual revaluations should be increased, decreased or remain where they are.</image:caption>

Sometimes, you do not want to rely on the seller statements- after all, they ARE trying to sell their home, and may ...ahem...- conveniently forget that the basement has had seepage,  they may downplay the amount, or much worse- try to hide it entirely.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Learn What Causes Efflorescence in Your Basement - Efflorescence is an accumulation of minerals and salts on masonry surfaces, such as brick, cement, and sometimes stone. Inspectors should know how to prevent against and remove this unsightly residue. They must also be aware that, while efflorescence itself is not dangerous, it indicates the presence of excess water, which can lead to more serious structural and health issues.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Learn What Causes Efflorescence in Your Basement</image:title>
      <image:caption>InterNACHI inspectors should already know how to distinguish mold (pictured at right) from efflorescence, but it is possible for homeowners to confuse the two. The expense of a mold test can be avoided if the substance in question can be identified as efflorescence. Here are a few tips that inspectors can offer their clients so that they understand the differences:</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Learn What Causes Efflorescence in Your Basement - Inspectors should note the presence of efflorescence in their inspection reports because it generally occurs where there is excess moisture, a condition that also encourages the growth of mold. An exception can be made during the first few years of a building’s construction when efflorescence will appear as a result of moisture locked within the masonry in a process called “new building bloom.” This moisture comes from water added during the manufacturing or mixing process that will undoubtedly contribute to efflorescence. This type of efflorescence will appear all over the masonry material and will continue to accumulate until the initial water supply is exhausted, which can take up to a year. Efflorescence that appears locally and after the “new building bloom” is over is a symptom of excess moisture that can be problematic. The source of this moisture should  be determined and corrected.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Setting a Time Frame for Buying a Home. How Long Does it Take?</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you are about to embark upon the process of buying a home, there are many things to consider besides the actual home itself. Unlike renting a home, where you could conceivably move into your new residence in less than a week, getting to the point of occupancy takes time when you are buying, unless you are paying cash for your next home. -and then, it is not guaranteed, even if the seller could accommodate such a quick closing.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Is That For Sale Sign in Front of Your Home REALLY Necessary? - Some home sellers can't wait for the sign to go up, and yet  others simply detest the idea altogether.

Understandably, some home sellers do not want to come home and see a for sale sign in front of their house. It can be because:</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Which is Better, 15-Year or 30-Year Mortgage? - The home loan or mortgage represents for most people the highest cost purchase they will make in their life, unless they buy a second house for even more. The reason being is because the financing involves a large amount of money being paid back slowly over a very long period of time. Even at a low interest charge level, mortgages are still going to produce a profit twice or three times over the original amount provided by a lender.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Get Rid of Your Pushy Real Estate Agent. - There is nothing worse than a pushy sales person, especially a pushy real estate agent.  Do this, do that now, sign this. It's just plain awful- and I have never subscribed to those kinds of business practices. Aggressiveness is one thing, if it's on your behalf. That's a good thing. But, pushy behavior aimed at a you, as a buyer,  doesn't get anyone anywhere- except angry and/or frustrated. Funny thing about buying real estate. If you talk to any of your friends who have purchased a home, or can recall any of the times that you bought a  home,  the main reason for buying that home was that it just "felt" right. Most often, the minute you step into that house, you know it's for you.</image:title>

It's what lenders use to decide a number of factors, including whether or not to lend to you.</image:title>
      <image:caption>There are three main reporting agencies: TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax. Can a credit score from these agencies be biased? CLICK HERE TO READ MORE (in my monthly newsletter)</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Extension Cord Safety Tips for Connecticut Homeowners and Renters - Selecting extension cords •    Purchase only cords that have been approved by an independent testing laboratory. •    For outdoor projects, use only extension cords marked for outdoor use. •    Read the instructions (if available) for information about the cord’s correct use and the amount of power it draws when running. •    Select cords that are rated to handle the wattage of the devices with which they’ll be used. A cord’s gauge indicates its size: The smaller the number, the larger the wire and the more electrical current the cord can safely handle. •    Also consider the length you’ll need. Longer cords can’t handle as much current as shorter cords of the same gauge. •    Choose cords with polarized or three-prong plugs. •    For use with larger appliances, thick, round, low-gauge extension cords are best. For smaller appliances and electronics, you can use thin or flat cords.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Growing Optimism For a Healthy 2013 for Connecticut Real Estate - The real estate market has had an ominous cloud looming for a long while with sunshine trying to break through. Now, according to a recently released second quarter survey by HomeGain, optimism is growing and a sunnier forecast is anticipated by some.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The survey results are taken from a pool of more than 400 agents and brokers and 1,700 homeowners. Perhaps not surprisingly the optimism is a bit unequal. Regarding the general direction of home values, about 48 percent of industry professionals expect home values to increase compared to only 27 percent of homeowners. However both percentage figures are up from first quarter 2012.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Review the Condo Documents for your CT Purchase - It's All in the Details. - Buying or selling a condo? Review the regulations for that complex thoroughly. When you buy a condominium, your purchase is subject to the Common Interest Ownership Act (CIOA). You have a right to review the documents, financial status of the association, and any rules associated with that complex. Sometimes, we run across what seems to be odd rules. For example, at one condo complex, you are not allowed to have curtains or draperies on your windows- only blinds. At another you cannot park a vehicle that has a commercial plate, or have any kind of signage on the car. Another does not allow renters of any kind- (which would include a roommate). When you sell that condo in the future, generally speaking, you are responsible for paying for the documents for the buyer that wishes to purchase your home. That cost  can be a few hundred dollars, and the documents also take time to prepare.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Offer Agreed Upon, But Not Signed? Don't Count on that Deal Yet! - Even if the sellers have verbally agreed to your price and terms,if they haven't signed your offer to purchase, you do NOT have an enforceable contract. What do you think would happen if the sellers only agreed to your offer verbally, and then a much higher offer came in?  ...

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Taking Care of Your Fairfield County CT Home and Cleaning Up After a Flood - Hurricane Sandy let us all know in Fairfield County, Connecticut that we have to be  prepared for flood waters, and the aftermath that can wreak havoc on our homes and our everyday lives.</image:title>
      <image:caption>One of the most devastating things that can happen to a homeowner is not only a flood, but also the cleanup. Even if you've taken preliminary emergency planning steps, flood cleanup can present a real challenge. It requires a great deal of caution because much more than just water can be left behind, like mold, broken gas lines, and unwanted wildlife. In addition, much of the cleanup will be for contaminants you can't see. That's why it's important to take some precautions to help you stay safe.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - 2013-2014 Mill Rates for Fairfield County and Southwestern CT Change as of 7/1/13 - All Connecticut towns prepare a budget for the year and set a new mill rate for property owners to pay for that budget. If you look at the record of your property as it exists in Town Hall, you will see that your property is appraised at one value, and assessed at another value. Your new property taxes are determined by multiplying the mill rate by the assessment, which is 70 percent of the appraised value. Do you love your town? So do we.

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - When Are Property Disclosures NOT Required by CT State Law? - If you are not sure whether the purchase or sale of a property in Connecticut is subject to the buyers receipt of a Property Condition Disclosure, contact your attorney. The sellers fine  for this is $500 payable to to the buyer at closing for not providing the disclosure prior to the buyer making an offer.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Recently, a clent of mine wanted to make an offer on a property that was purported to be an estate, hence, the agent stated that no disclosures were needed.  However, upon further speaking with the agent, I learned that the owner was still alive, and her children had Power of Attorney. This property was NOT exempt from the disclosure law, as Power of Attorney is not listed as an exemption under this law.  There was no mention of "ownership" by  trustee or conservatorship.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Style, Safety and Resale Among Benefits of a Fenced-in Yard - A fence can add to your home's overall curb appeal, as long as it is stylish and in good condition. In fact, I cannot recall even one instance with any buyer client of mine who disliked a fence so much that they were not willing to move forward with purchasing a home.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Homeowners might consider adding a fence for many reasons. However, “It’s up to the individual and what they’re trying to accomplish,” says Jamie Turrentine, owner of Southwest Fence and Deck in Carrollton, Texas. Here are ways you could benefit from a fenced-in yard.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Is Your Fairfield County CT Home a Candidate for a Tear-Down? - You may have heard of a house being referred to as  "a tear down", and thought it meant that a home was so dilapidated that it couldn't be saved, and had to be torn down and/or  rebuilt. -But that's not necessarily always  the case.  A "tear down" also  refers to a home that for some reason is no longer considered highest and best use of the property.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Appraisers in our area calculate the land value at approximately one third of the value of the improved parcel. Improved means that a house is on it, and has working utilities.</image:caption>
    </image:image>

      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68acc0b5807b100c4832c5ad/d2b3cfe6-a37a-48ca-b73e-0f65717cc522/tear-down.webp</image:loc>
      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Is Your Fairfield County CT Home a Candidate for a Tear-Down? - Another reason homes are candidates for a tear down would be houses around the "improved" property are so  much larger, or more sophisticated  that the cost of land may even exceed the value of the home on it. Don't balk at that. It happens on a daily basis in Fairfield County, especially in the upper-end market. If you have noticed that significantly larger homes are being built all around you, it may be time for a value assessment of your property-even if your home is in very nice condition, it may still catch a builders eye.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Buyers and Sellers: How to Make the Most of a Small Kitchen - Many people complain about small kitchens but tiny spaces aren't always to be dreaded. If you're selling your home and your kitchen is, well, compact, know that you can find ways to achieve big appeal with a little creativity.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Bring in the light. Sometimes small kitchens can be dark, making them feel even smaller. But if you remove the curtains from any windows in your small kitchen, it'll let light in and open up the area. Instead of curtains, you can use small blinds that are recessed inside the frame of the window. These are easy to clean and still provide some privacy even when the blinds are open.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Almost November- Time to Have The Chimney Checked on Your CT Home! - Chimneys are among the heaviest and most structurally vulnerable of all exterior components of a building.  Accidents caused by their collapse can lead to death.  A collapse can also cause costly structural damage to the building and its surroundings. Inspection, maintenance and preparedness are critical safeguards against chimney collapse.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Wind and other elements may cause an already weakened chimney to collapse. An elderly man in Britain was crushed by a wind-toppled chimney as it fell from the roof of the managed-care facility where he lived. This case is, unfortunately, fairly unremarkable, as such accidents occur often for a variety of reasons -- from weathering and wind, to falling tree limbs and poor design.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Interested in That House? Here are a Couple of Great Negotiating Tips - First, take off the boxing gloves. Negotiations should be a win-win if at all possible. When you are buying a home, the more you can find out about the home sellers and their motivation, the better for you. Having additional knowledge can help to negotiate the lowest possible price.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I always do a bit of digging to see what I can find out for my buyer-clients, and it has easily saved them thousands of dollars. If the owner is present at the home during the showing, I will ask a few seemingly innocent questions directly, which will help you but at the same time won't be inappropriate to inquire about.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - The Only Four Words Buyers Should Ever Say to Sellers - It can be quite uncomfortable if the seller is present during a showing of their home. It's an unnecessarily awkward situation for the buyers, who tend to say too much if not advised appropriately and properly in advance for a situation that is almost inevitable.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Protect Yourself From Radon in Your Home - First, the bad news: Radon is colorless and odorless, but it's deadly. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), radon is responsible for 21,000 deaths yearly and is the second leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers in the United States.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Radon comes from the decay of uranium in soil. It can enter your home through cracks in the foundation and other openings and then rises up. Once inside, radon builds up, causing a larger problem. Any home may have a radon problem—and the worst thing you can do is ignore it. "The biggest danger is assuming there's not a problem because you don't notice a problem," says Jay Solomon, environmental and energy stewardship extension educator with the University of Illinois Extension.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Weston- One of Fairfield County CT's Best Small Towns - The History of Weston begins in the early 18th century, when the first settlers from England arrived. They settled in what was originally a part of Fairfield until Weston incorporated in the late 1700's. Mostly farmers, their main crops were apples, onions and potatoes. By the mid 1850's, there were plenty of factories in town, as well as Grist, cider, lumber, and fulling mills, the only factory left in town by 1900 was the Bradley Edge Tool Company which unfortunately burned to the ground in 1911.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Saugatuck Reservoir holds approximately 12 billion gallons of water and is the compilation of land purchased by the Bridgeport Hydraulic Company in the 1920's ifor that purpose. In 1927 the Connecticut General Assembly gave BHC the power to condemn property when necessary, and by 1936 they had acquired most of the 5,000 acres necessary to build the reservoir. Scenic, beautiful, and well protected, as is much of Weston.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Steps to Making A Home Purchase in 2014 - Thinking about buying a home? Great! But please remember, even if you have a few prior home purchases under your belt,  there are changes to local customs and standard contingencies that were not necessary even a few years ago. There are also additional situations you might get yourself in, where having a seasoned, professional and experienced Realtor (like me) would be of  great benefit to you.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Making an offer on a home can be intimidating, whether it's your first home, your second home, or even  your fifth or sixth home. It's almost like asking that girl or boy you had a secret crush on in high school for a date. Of course, there is very little risk of making a fool of yourself during the bidding process, but you really should know how to play your cards the right way before you "tip your hand", so to speak.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - 2014-2015 Mill Rates for Fairfield County and Southwestern CT - All Connecticut towns prepare a budget for the year and set a new mill rate for property owners to pay for that budget. If you look at the record of your property as it exists in Town Hall, you will see that your property is appraised at one value, and assessed at another value.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Your new property taxes are determined by multiplying the mill rate by the assessment, which is 70 percent of the appraised value.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - The Hottest Home Trends in New and Existing Homes - According to the National Association of Homebuilders, (NAHB), you'll find that builders are figuring out the best ways to rework spaces. Out go formal dens and in come smaller home management areas (think office but not quite as spacious or traditional, more like a "pocket office".</image:title>
      <image:caption>A "pocket office", according to NAHB, can be located in a large pantry area or nearby the kitchen or family great room.) It's all about conserving and creating efficient workable spaces that also offer other functions.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Existing Home Sales Post Another Gain in Latest Report - This past September proved to be a successful month for existing-home sales. After a slight decline in August, sales reached their highest pace of the year in September, according to the National Association of Realtors September Existing-Home Sales Report. With steady price gains and continued low interest rates, sales have been able to carry their spring momentum into the fall. The median existing-home price for all housing types in September was $209,700, 5.6 percent above September 2013. Last month marked the 31st consecutive month of year-over-year price gains.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Only 14 percent of homes purchased last month were purchased by investors, down from 19 percent in September 2013. This is good news for traditional buyers as they face a less competitive market with low interest rates and steady price gains. Buyers looking to purchase a home this fall should be aware of tight inventory that generally occurs during the winter months.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - According to Movoto, Westport has the Highest Quality of life in Connecticut - Movoto, a real estate listing website founded in 2005,  recently ranked the top ten Connecticut towns. Seven of these communities are in Fairfield County, and Westport  ranked number one in the highest overall quality of life.</image:title>
      <image:caption>"This coastal town in Fairfield County has previously been named one of the 10 wealthiest in the U.S. Clearly, with a median household income of $150,771, the highest median home price in the state at $1,010,400, and a median rent price of $1,468 (second only to Darien's), this is still true today. Westport didn't just rank well because of its money; it also scored well for the lowest student-teacher ratio in our ranking, just 11 to 1, and lots of amenities-places like the Westport Country Playhouse, Sherwood Island State Park, Compo Beach, a bustling farmers market, and the Coffee An' Donut Shop on Main Street. All of this gave Westport the best score for overall quality of life of any of the places we looked at.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Nine Reasons To Buy A Home in December - The down payment-interest rate-economic factors-qualification quadrangle can be so confusing. Rising rates, loosening requirements, down payment options, buyer's markets, seller's markets - what does it all mean to you if you want to buy a home? The truth is that while the banks might have a magical formula to determine your mortgage-worthiness, determining if the time is right really comes down to three main questions:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Do you want to buy a home? Are you financially prepared? Is your credit where it needs to be?</image:caption>

You'll need all three because they each report differently, so you may find an error at one bureau but not the other two. You don't know which credit bureau your lender will use so you want all three bureau reports to be accurate. If you see a mistake, contact the bureau and alert them to the error. Send a copy of your proof, such as the paid balance.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - How do you Measure Square Footage of a Home? - When it comes to real estate, there's no avoiding square footage as a measure of any home's value. Realtors use it- it's in every MLS listing, and every home portal known to man. It's also used by tax assessors, appraisers, and insurance companies.</image:title>
      <image:caption>But how much is square footage worth to you as a homebuyer? Knowing the square footage can be helpful, but it shouldn't be the main tool to determine your offer price.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Home Repairs: Do-it-Yourself or Hire a Contractor? - Whether you are  remodeling your existing home, or considering buying a new home that needs some work, consider the pluses and minuses of either doing the work yourself as opposed to hiring a contractor. If you are patient,  don't mind physical labor,  and have knowledge of building,  it may be a consideration.  If not, it may not be the best idea.</image:title>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Now is the Time to Appeal Your Property Assessment - It’s that time again,.... local property tax assessments. Many communities saw a decrease in property values, which will mean, in many cases, an increase in the mill rate.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Connecticut assesses property, for property tax purposes, at 70% of fair market value, as determined by the tax assessor. By way of example, if the tax assessor determines that your property has a fair market value of $250,000.00 the assessment for property taxes would be $175,000.00 ($250,000.00 x 70%). The mil rate, which is set by the local legislative body, would then be applied to the assessed value, in this example $175,000.00. Assuming the mil rate is 30 mils, the property assessed at $175,000.00 would pay an annual real property tax of $5,250.00 ($175,000.00 x .030).</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Your Furnace: Simple Safety Tips and Ways to Improve Efficiency - Furnaces in homes throughout Connecticut are cranking during this cold stretch of weather we’ve been experiencing. It is especially important to have furnaces inspected and maintained to ensure that they run efficiently and safely all winter.</image:title>
      <image:caption>SIMPLE WAYS TO IMPROVE EFFICIENCY By some accounts, home heating, especially with older equipment, can represent half of a typical home’s winter utilities bill. Efficient operation can mean lower energy bills and a more comfortable home. For example, programmable thermostats can be used to automatically turn heat up or down at specified times, so that the temperature is lowered overnight or while no one is at home. The newest types of thermostats can be operated via smartphone or tablet using apps specific to these functions.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - How to Prevent Water Damage Inside of Your Home - Prevention through investigation is the first defense against water damage. Here are some basics on preventing water damage and its effects:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Washing machine hoses should be regularly checked for leaks. Both the hoses and connections, and the valves should be examined. Even a small drip when the machine is filling can cause major water damage and conducive conditions for insect infestations over time, so any leaks should be repaired immediately. If the laundry room is located on the main floor or above, damage to the floor and ceiling below can be expected too.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Is Smart Technology Part of Your Home? - The integration of technology is increasingly common in newer construction. As "smart-homes" are becoming more and more popular,  homeowners as well as homebuyers are beginning to grow accustomed to these types of features, and in some cases- already expect it.</image:title>
      <image:caption>HGTV reported 46 percent of consumers see smart-home technology as important for their current and future residences, however luxury homebuyers are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice. According to Digital Interiors, 94 percent of buyers surveyed would sacrifice 1,000 square feet of living space for more technology in their new home. Oversized houses are no longer the driving trend in the luxury real estate market and agents are under pressure to respond to the demand. Here’s what affluent homebuyers are looking for and which gadgets are must-haves.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Mother nature has once again decided to remind of us what a true—eh, mmm, how can I say this --- not so nice lady she can be, by dumping more snow and ice on our streets, driveways, yards and sidewalks.

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - The Top Five Smart Homebuyer Strategies - The National Association of REALTORS® has announced that there's a housing supply shortage. Homes are selling quickly and home prices are starting to inch up again. It's becoming a seller's market in many areas.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Any time the market changes, it's time to change strategies. During a buyer's market, buyers have the upper hand and can make more demands to sellers over their homes' price and condition. During a sellers' market, buyers concede the upper hand to sellers and are more willing to accept higher prices and terms.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Home Remodeling Projects Return on Investment- By The Numbers - Wondering what  the latest and greatest in remodeling and renovation trends are? You've seen some of them on television and the web, magazines and friend's houses. It seems there isn't any place in a house where we haven’t seen a major improvement, expansion or update projects.</image:title>
      <image:caption>As Fairfield County Home inspectors, our feeling is that if a homeowner is planning to remain in their home for years to come, it’s ok to consider projects that genuinely suit their needs with less focus on pay-back. For example, a custom kitchen, a fabulous master suite, a new home office --  whatever it is they will truly use and enjoy. Our Realtor friends usually add the good advice that if the plan is to sell the home in the not-too-distant future, homeowners should focus on projects that will have the best chance of getting the highest return on their investment.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - Top Five Low Cost Landscaping Ideas for Sellers - You've probably heard how important curb appeal is when you're trying to sell your home. The first thing buyers look at when they pull up to your home is the big picture -- the house, the yard, the trees, the flowers. It's the impression that counts, and all it takes is one thing to ruin the effect -- a cracked walkway, dead branches in the trees, leggy bushes.</image:title>
      <image:caption>As you look around at all the things you need to fix or update to sell your home, it can be overwhelming. Many sellers struggle with the costs, the decisions, and the time it takes to market their homes. Since most landscaping isn't permanent, you may think it's not as important as other projects that need to be done, but you should strongly consider putting it in the marketing budget.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - What Makes Your Home More Attractive Than Others on the Market? - It's safe to say that most people know that an attractive home will sell quicker than one that does not have that adjective attached to it. But, just to clarify, an "attractive" home for sale also refers to its condition, functionality,  ability to sell on a timely basis, and/or price, besides its aesthetics.</image:title>
      <image:caption>And speaking purely about aesthetics, beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder. A google search for attractive homes came up with a number of contemporary properties,  a few vintage ones, some with pools and some without, just as an example. So even Google is undecided!</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - The Top Three Reasons Why Buyers Choose One Home Over Another - You may think buyers will love your home because of your extraordinary taste in home furnishings or the incredible job you did with your home addition. Nope, it's not the décor or the vast add-on that gets them to commit, although they may help. There are three top reasons a buyer chooses to buy a home -- price, condition, and location.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Let's start with Price. To choose the right asking price for your home, you need to know if your neighborhood is in a buyer's market or seller's market. A buyer's market is characterized by large inventories of six months' supply or higher, few buyers making offers, low offers, and many other concessions asked of sellers.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The CT Home Blog - What Sellers Should Know About Pets and Showings - Selling your home? Keep in mind that buyers and their agents should feel welcome to look at the property at their leisure without danger or distractions. So while you adore your sweet-tempered pit bull rescue, he could turn territorial, barking and growling at potential homebuyers. And it could cost you the opportunity to sell your home.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Think of buyers as guests and work to make them feel comfortable as they consider your home for purchase. If you have a protective dog or one that isn't well-trained, drop her off at doggie day care when you know your home is going to be shown. Or call a pet sitter on call who can take your pet for a long walk while your home is being shown.</image:caption>

      <image:title>westport - Westport CT Real Estate Market Forecast and Advice 2/2011 - I am pleased to present to you my real estate market predictions and buying and selling advice for Westport, CT. My experience spans over 26 years, and I have seen hot markets come and go, and bad markets come and go. I always find it funny how the media predicts that the real estate market is going up or down in the state, but you know as well as I do, that  each city has its own type of market, and within the city, there are areas that sell faster than others, and homes on particular streets that sell  slower than others. You really cannot generalize the market in a rational way. Deciphering the real estate market, is, and has to be, local and historical.</image:title>

      <image:title>westport - "The RealTrender Report" - Westport Connecticut Real Estate. - "The RealTrender Report" is a  market snapshot of Westport CT real estate sales. The idea of the 45 day report came from the Federal Reserve Banks, who submit an economic climate report every 45 days, and its commonly referred to as The Beige Book. I've though that that time period was important enough to be recognized by banks, that I should recognize that as a real estate agent as well. So here are the quick details. And, yes, I'd love to talk to you when you are ready  to buy a home, or sell your  home!</image:title>

      <image:title>westport - Westport CT Real Estate Market Conditions as of July 2011- The Year in Review - Westport's real estate market has improved over the last year, with just a few minor bumps. The absorption rate  has  increased from this time last year,  and the median price has edged up slightly, and that's all good. It is important to recognize that a variation of pricing is bound to happen here based upon a number of different price ranges, and their seasonal sales that have their ups and downs. Westport is experiencing a decent real estate  market, even taking into account the state of the overall economy. It's a good time to buy or sell!</image:title>

      <image:title>westport - Help the "Great Cakes" Crusade in Westport, CT! - We read with great interest that "Great Cakes" at 772 Post Road East was having financial difficulties and is in danger of closing after being at the same location for 30 years. The owner, Rick Dickinson posted a sign in his front window urging customers to open a prepaid account for $100 to enable him to stay in business.  WE love the fact that so many Westporters came out in his support, and urge you to do the same.</image:title>
