    I think the biggest shock for anyone moving to CT from another region of the country is the lack of middle class and select upper class houses that don't have central air! This has been the largest complaint from friends that move from other regions. My parents built a house in 1997 in suburban central CT and had to opt into central air! This neighborhood had 4 bedroom homes without central air selling in the last few years for just under 500K! 85% of those units in 1997 didn't have central air built in. Older historical homes in CT have limitations as well as far as what you can add to cool them off. Not sure if you mentioned it in another video but nearly every other region has much more 20-30 year old homes with central air standard compared to CT.

      Agreed. I always highlight central air houses to my buyers. It is easier to renovate a kitchen or a bathroom than to get central air installed. Many residents are going ductless/mini splits for the older homes that can't handle duct work but it is not as appealing on the outside of the house. I appreciate your insight !!!

      I moved here 6 years ago as I inherited a house, but before that lived near Elizabeth NJ all my life. One Big thing is that you are so right, Electricity is way costlier in CT, way way costlier. , however, taxes are higher in NJ.

      We are the second highest for utilities in the US. Hawaii is number one and they're an island. That's why housing costs are a factor but utility costs can really push people out of their budgets.

      To me Connecticut has more pros than cons. No place is perfect. I think it's funny when the people who complain the most stay the longest but to each his own right?

      I agree with this comment, thank you to this realtor for this informational video that seems to be more genuine and realistic I have not finished the video yet but so far it seems very helpful and honest. I am born and raised on Long Island New York and currently live on Long Island and as I’m sure everyone knows the rent and mortgages and property taxes on Long Island And in New York City are astronomical. So I know that there is no perfect state or a perfect place to live but I do feel like there are places in Connecticut that still seem to have lower housing costs a little bit under Long Island from what I can see definitely some of the condos, town homes and apartments in certain areas of Connecticut are certainly Still a little cheaper than on Long Island and in New York City especially the ones with more than one bedroom.

    What about employment there is it easy to get employed

    • @relocatetoconnecticut
      @relocatetoconnecticut  Před 8 měsíci +2

      I think in any state it depends on what companies are there and what you do for a living. I would recommend that people look at Indeed or SimplyHired in areas of Connecticut to see if your career is in demand. We do have a very low amount of unhoused people in the state compared to the surrounding states and the US. Everyone that I know has always been able to find work. We have low unemployment as well.

      It is a big difference - coming from NYC where you can walk everywhere . In CT there are sections like Greenwich , Stamford and West Hartford, CT but it is not known for being walkable all over.

      I help relocating clients move to CT all the time. The closer you live to NYC the more expensive it is. If you're in Fairfield County expect to spend about $500,000 for a nice home and about $300,000 for a townhouse. If you move further up along the shoreline, it can be less.
