Wanted: New Milford CT Buyer to renovate, enjoy and love! Come meet this home in New Milford, CT and make it yours!
They do say there is an owner for every house, and this poor house is desperately looking for its new owner! I just listed a house in New Milford, CT, and for the first time I can say this house is sad and desperately looking for a new owner. The house is sitting and (im)patiently waiting to be finished and possibly improved on. For instance, there is a new roof, the cedar siding on the house is also newer. The owner built a wonderful storage shed on the property, all that is missing is the siding to make it look great. The wiring has been upgraded and the homeowner was starting a few more projects before having to move out of town due to unforeseeable circumstances. Now this house is greatly in need of someone to make it shine, make it home and enjoy it well. You have access to "Emerald Lake", aka Green Pond when you live in this house.
The house is located at 5 Blueberry Lane, off of Hubble Mountain Road in New Milford, CT. You may get a bit confused if you use GPS or any mapping service to find the home, they all think it is located in Sherman, CT. In reality, it is New Milford, CT. Although your mail will be delivered to Sherman, CT you pay taxes to New Milford. A bit unique, there are a few areas of town like this.
The town field card shows the house as a 2 bedroom home. There is a sketch of a proposed 3 bedroom septic system, and the "deeps and perks" have been done for this. There is a central vac system, the laundry has been moved to the basement which will free more room in the bathroom, the kitchen has been started but you may want to look at new cabinetry, and the floors do need to be redone. The yard is level, and with some creative landscaping could be just wonderful. With that and some painting, this could be the opportunity you have been waiting for!
Ranch, bungalow or cottage, whatever you consider this home to be, it is looking for an owner who can finish the work and will love to live here! Make some memories, bring some friends to help with the work and enjoy your finished product!
To be considered by this (sad) home at 5 Blueberry Lane in New Milford, CT as the new owner, please call me at 203.460.1775, or Dee Johnson at 203.770.2181. We will happily make arrangements for you to meet the home and see if you are the one the house has been waiting for! The home is listed for $149,900 by Prudential Adams & Associates, REALTORS of New Milford, CT
The house has also wanted you all to know that this may indeed be a short sale, and we are working on this to make any transaction a smooth one for the buyer, the seller and the house!

This has been a hectic week for sure,
I have 2 more rooms to go, I will be there this afternoon after touring some properties and having a great lunch at one of them today. I may feel like Cinderella while I am sweeping and mopping, but that will pass!
I pulled into a gas station this morning and saw this sign. The more I looked at it the more confusing it appeared to be. The math just doesn't add up, 1% milk has 69% less fat than whole milk? So why not call it what it really is? (If you really want to be confused, google low fat milk.)
So how did this happen? Someone made the home owner think that he was sitting on something he was not. They were astute, picked up on the fact that the owner wanted and needed more money than the house was worth. Now it is being marketed as whole milk, when it is not that at all. (Not only is the price wrong, but the house has grown in size too!) If a potential buyer can be enticed to look at it, they, like me sitting in front of the milk sign, will be scratching their heads and moving on. And the home owner will be disgruntled in the end. Then there is always the appraisal issue, but I am not even talking about that reality here.

Everywhere you go these days in New Milford, CT you hear people talking about the revaluation and the budget. We are in the middle of our revaluation in New Milford, CT. (The state mandates towns in CT must go through revaluations every 5 years) The tax man commeth, well, not the tax man but indeed there are people out there knocking on your door to look at your house for the reval. New Milford, CT revaluation is done by Vision Appraisal. They all should have identification, if you are in doubt if the person knocking on your door is who they say they are, call the Tax Assessor's Office or the New Milford Police Department. After they visit you, you will be asked to sign a paper that says the inspection actually took place. Here is the thing, if you don't let them in, they have to try again, and again and again. They have to prove to the town an attempt was made. And then, they will have to
To you it is your old beloved friend, so many wonderful memories tied up inside. To you Realtor® it is a potential stumbling block to reaching that all important "curb appeal" status that is so greatly desired. To the town, if there are more than one it is a fine waiting to happen. (Depending on where you live, the amount of unregistered vehicles allowed can vary) To your insurance company it is a potential insurance hazard. To a potential buyer it looks like the low rent district for mice and raccoons.
