If you’re about to embark on buying a home in southeastern Connecticut, Realtor Nancy Mesham offers a few tips as you get started:

“Real estate inventory remains at record lows across Connecticut, while buyer demand remains strong—especially here in the southeast. This trend will continue into 2024, as potential sellers locked into low interest-rate mortgages sit tight, and buyers’ options are limited. When your dream home comes to market, it’s more important than ever to be ready! Work with a local lender to obtain a pre-approved loan with upfront underwriting. Engage a knowledgeable, local Realtor who knows property values, historic trends, area-specific nuances, and the value of future improvements. Finally, preparation, knowledge and a well-crafted offer ensure the best odds of winning—in any real estate market.”
