CT Waterfront Real Estate

Choose Connecticut

Known as the constitution state, home to Yale University, and famous for its huge mansions and old money, Connecticut is a beautiful place with many picturesque views wherever you go, especially those found along the water.

With its 96 miles of coastline and over 30,000 lakes, ponds and reservoirs across the state, it offers various water activities for you to enjoy. You can go sailing, swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, and more.

It's no wonder people are flocking to this locality, seeking to own a piece of this state’s waterfront property.

Whether you are looking for a main home or a secluded lakefront vacation home, Connecticut’s waterfront real estate has something for you.

What kind of community feel are you looking for?

Connecticut has many shorelines and  lakeside communities, and each of them offers unique attributes and amenities. The following neighborhoods are just some of the many you can choose from.

Are you looking for a lakeside community where you can enjoy your favorite water sports and activities, but still be in proximity to the city? Candlewood Lake is a great option for you. Many people like this lake because it's just the right lake size to have fun, and it borders five different towns so you can visit different places at any time.

Located in western Connecticut, Candlewood Lake is the largest manmade lake in the county. Along its shores are some of the most expensive real estate properties you can find in the region.

Do you prefer a luxury community? Most waterfront communities in Connecticut have several listings, but Darien has the longest list of million dollar homes. This is not a surprise considering that Darien is the nation’s wealthiest community according to Consumer Advocate. Coveted high-end properties dot the coastline of Darien, so you’ll definitely find the luxurious lifestyle you want in this community.

Perhaps you prefer a place with fewer homes so you can enjoy privacy and retreat? Lake Lillinonah community is a perfect choice. A light residential area and surrounded mostly by wooded areas, peace and serenity abound in this neighborhood.

How about owning a right to the center of the lake? If this sounds great for you, the community of Lake Zoar is where you should be.  Unlike other lakes, lakefront properties on this community own their shoreline right to the center of the lake! You can build a house on the shoreline and create a great dock and pier system so you can fish and enjoy your water sports anytime.

Another community you cannot not miss is the affluent neighborhood of Westport. Located in lower Fairfield County commonly referred to as the Gold Coast, Westport offers direct waterfront properties. Enjoy living just a few steps to the beach in one of the safest communities you can ever live.  

Prices and home features

With its reputation as one of the country’s wealthiest states with plenty of old money residents, expect a Connecticut waterfront property to be quite pricey. 

The price range differs in each neighborhood but you’ll find that there are many waterfront locations that offer a good price range, from the affordable to the million-dollar homes.

Built in various architectural styles, the homes reflect their owners’ elegant tastes. Sweeping water views, lush foliage, spacious homes with the best amenities and comforts, high end appliances, all these are yours in any of Connecticut’s waterfront residences.

What's My Lake Zoar Home Value?

The value of your property:  

Most of us do not realize the importance of knowing the value of our homes until we need it. You may want to sell your home or simply know how much equity you have. I’m glad you’ve come to the right place.

It’s our duty to protect one of our biggest investments, especially if your home is located in Lake Zoar, a beautiful location with rich history.  

If you are seeing yourself selling your home in the calculable future, one of the first steps that you can do is to contact a knowledgeable REALTORⓇ in your area, like myself, to help you find out about proper timing and the best estimates.

You may visit my website https://homesinconnecticutforsale.com/ to see how other sellers prepare their homes for showing.   

How will you know if you’re accurately pricing your Lake Zoar home?

No one can truly estimate your house unless an expert inspects it. When I work for you, I’ll make sure you get qualified buyers who have already done comparable property sales to know which is the best deal and which is overpriced.

We’ll make it a point that they fall in love when they see your home.

One thing that is most overlooked in determining home value is where we get our information from:

1. There are a myriad of softwares nowadays that offer an analysis of your property. They ask for your current and after repair value. There are other softwares that include your stress market value.
2. Perhaps, they will ask you to enter your property’s characteristics. How many garages do you have, how old is your home, how huge is your lot, what kind of landscaping do you have, has your roof been repainted in the last two years, etc.?
3. I’m not saying these are not helpful but these softwares can only do so much. You need an actual, experienced real estate agent in Lake Zoar area who knows exactly what’s going on in the real estate marketplace to give you an accurate value.

Here’s what I bring to the table:

1. An assurance that there will be a constant research on your home, market and estate values so your Lake Zoar home is priced effectively from day one. I will also make sure the public knows your home is for sale by using innovative marketing techniques to attract potential buyers.
2. The home selling and buying process will be explained to you thoroughly.
3. I will negotiate on your behalf and will track the closing process. Starting and ending with a bang is something I keep in mind.
4. Having lived in Connecticut for 35 years, I have proven marketing techniques that will leave nothing to chance.

These are just few of the things I can offer. If you call 203-994-4297, we can start discussing your home and how you want it to be sold.

If you noticed, I have only focused on the values of getting the right REALTORⓇ because it all starts there. It is an important decision because we are talking about one of the valuable assets of your life.

I have been in the business for 35 years that is why I know what works best for each seller, or buyer for that matter.  I have my own expert service and support called Your Home Group. You will be working with real estate masters.

Call me today, Deborah Laemmerhirt, let me show you what I can do for you!

How to Sell Your Lake Zoar Home If You Have Pets

How to Sell Your Lake Zoar Home If You Have Pets

 

Selling a Lake Zoar real estate is a complex process, but it can become even more challenging when you have pets in your home. Surprisingly, owning a pet can reduce your home’s value. That is because your furry friends can cause serious damage to your property.  So what should you do if you have pets at home?  Here are some easy tips on how to sell your home with this concern in mind:

Temporarily relocate

It will be easier to show your home to buyers of Lake Zoar homes for sale if your pets are not present when they arrive.  If you have a friend or a family member that you are comfortable leaving your animal with, it will give you the chance to eliminate all the signs of having a pet in the house. Relocating your pets can also help prevent them from causing further issues. Keep in mind that some buyers consider pets a huge turn-off when looking at potential homes they may want to own.

Fix any damage

Make sure to spend time and repair damage caused by your pets before showing your home to buyers looking for Lake Zoar waterfront homes.  Remember that any form of damage is a turn-off. While you love your pets, they will inevitably destroy something including carpets, furniture, hardwood flooring, walls, doors, turf in your yard and your fence. Some of the repairs may be inexpensive while others may require a great deal of money. Either way, the value you will get for your house will be well worth paying for the repairs.

Take away signs of having pets

You want buyers to envision themselves as the next owner of the home. However, having pet stuff around your home may distract them. Before you open the doors of your home to potential buyers, put away all pet toys, bedding, litter boxes and food – preferably at another location besides your home. You may also want to remove all photos where your pet is present as well. Remember that removing extra pet clutter is an important part of preparing your home for sale.

Clean the rugs

As much as you want, you cannot control pet accidents. Sometimes, they even happen right before a scheduled showing. What should you do then? The answer is in your kitchen. Baking soda does wonders for neutralizing odors. Sprinkle a thin layer over carpets and let it set overnight. Vacuum the next day for a fresh scent.

Have your home checked for fleas

While you may believe that your pets are clean and do not carry any fleas, it is still better to have your home checked for fleas. There are many ways to know if there are fleas in your home. If you suspect that you have some, you should have a professional inspect further. Remember that fleas and pest can turn off buyers. Make sure to get rid of them before any potential buyer walks through your home.

Having pets is always an issue when selling a home, but with these tips you can snatch a quick sale for the best price.
