The concept of a buyer incentive is not newand probably dates back to the first consumer and their attempt to negotiate a great price on a wheel. As long as we have a competitive market place, merchants will attempt to gain the upper hand on their competition with discounts to get the consumer to enter their doors. Who doesn't remember the different stamps that were offered as far back as the late 1800's by merchants as a reward for spending dollars on goods with the catalogs offering almost anything for the proper amount of books. The time spent on putting those stamps into the books and persuading our parents to go back because we only needed another 20 stamps and we would qualify for a special gift. Service stations offered the stamps as well, not because they feared not getting thei...

The Southeast section of Waterbury Ct is called the East Mountain Area, aptly named because it lies on the elevated hills that form the boundary between Waterbury Ct and Prospect, Ct. The area is easily recognized by an earthen dam, built in the late 1800's, that was once a source of drinking water for the town, but was put into a reserve status when the city's current reservoir system was established in the early 1900's. This area is split by Prospect Rd also known as Rt 69. The Bateswood Rd area, which is on the East Side of Prospect Rd, is the older side of East Mountain in Waterbury Ct, and also has the more stately and higher valued homes, with larger lots. The sloping tree lined streets are a throw back to years gone by and it'snot uncommon to see people walking the streets on a w...

10 Days left to get a property under contract for First Time Home Buyers, and also for move up Buyers. The property will need to close by June 30 to still qualify for the credit! Because the rebate has not given the housing industry and by trickle up the rest of the economy the much anticipated push needed, it's not likely to be extended yet another time. Interest rates are still low. There are still plenty of quality homes to pick from, and some great prices. There are also various programs out there to assist a first time buyer. Income levels were also increased to allow the move-up buyers a chance to get the larger home they need. Get moving before it's too late.

Connecticut mortgage rates improved last week. Oil prices continued to fall off the beginning of the week. Fortunately Connecticut mortgage rates improved nicely amid the tame inflation environment. Unfortunately that trend reversed mid week as oil prices spiked tied to a report which indicated supplies declines. Stocks also surged higher as earnings reports generally pleased investors. The DOW easily eclipsed the 11,000 mark. Despite this, Connecticut mortgage rates still managed to improve by about 1/4 of a discount point for the week. Leading economic indicators data Monday will set the tone for trading this week. The producer inflation data will be the most important release. If inflation pressures emerge Connecticut mortgage rates may be pressured higher. LOOKING AHEAD EconomicIndi...
