Milford, CT- especially the Walnut Beach Shore Village is an area that is quickly evolving into a Mecca for avante -garde, artists and one-of -a-kind shops as well as a newly constructed residential complex set against the beautiful shoreline. I have come upon a few of these treasures recently and thought I would share them with you.

Will Rodrigues, is the latest in a long list of entrepreneurs to choose Walnut Beach as the perfect place to set up shop. Will, the proprietor of Walnut Beach Café who is an artist himself, showcases areas artists and photographers in his cozy café. He also offers live acoustic music and plans to expand his menu which already includes a wide variety of coffees, as well as local offering such as Mangels Chocolates as a variety of foods all from local vendors.

Walnut Beach Creamery is another new shop that has opened up in this area and the owner Susan Patrick offers a wide variety of home-made, one-of-a- kind ice creams that include exotic fruits, liqueurs, and specialty nuts. She also hosts the Walnut Beach Halloween Witch Parade which I blogged about in October where a specially selected ‘witch' leads the children in a parade around the streets.

The Lazy Lobster offers seafood and (of course) lobsters. You can even order your lobster and enjoy your pampered picnic on beautiful Walnut Beach.

So if you are looking for an active lifestyle in a town that offers you 17 miles of shoreline to walk or bike around while enjoying a variety of cozy neighborhood shops where you can live and actually connect you're your neighbors --contact me - Your CT Home Consultant to find out more about Milford Connecticut!

Largest Monthly Home Sale Percentage Increase in 5 Years Reported by NAR

According to RISMEDIA, Sales of existing homes on the West Coast rose to their highest level in over a year. RISMEDIA reported that there were even more across the board optimistic indicators from Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist who said gains in home sales are being reported in more markets -- "The sales turnaround which began in California several months ago is broadening now to Colorado, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri and Rhode Island," he said. "The South was hampered by much lower home sales in Houston in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike."

Government intervention and support for Freddie and Fannie as well as banks is helping to stabilize rates and is beginning to open up credit markets. Interest rates are down somewhat to around 6% but remain quite dynamic responding to market news.

The news is good for buyers-historically low home prices, low interest rates, and government back financing making this a good time to buy.
