I've been quite busy for the last couple of weeks. I have been busy trying help new clients either find & close on a home prior to the November 30th deadline, looking to be moved in by the new year, or looking to move in to the right house if the deal makes sense to them. Buyers are not looking to make a 20% profit on their home in a years time, but rather stay for 7-8 years & purchase a larger home.Sellers still need to be realistic on their asking prices so their home will be shown to qualified motivated buyers and should 'play nice' with any reasonable offers, or else the buyers might be opted to go elsewhere.
One of my favorites to go for a run or long walks are in only a few minutes from the Danbury Fair Mall. They are the Hemlock Hills, Pine Mountain & Bennett’s Pond Park in Ridgefield. These three parcels collectively form a 1200+ acre park of open space in the scenic Ridgebury section of Ridgefield. The terrain ranges from very level to steep climbs where you can enjoy great views . The Ives trail will be connect Tarrywile Park & the Wooster Mountain State Park in Danbury to this vast area of of space for a 14 mile walk.
To print out a trail map or learn about about this great natural resource, visit the Ridgefield Open Association’s website.
Happy trails.
The Willow Springs condo community in Southern New Milford does buyers considerable value.
