Why Connecticut?
The more appropriate question is, "why not?" Connecticut waterfront real estate gives you easy access to all that Connecticut has to offer. Within its compact borders, Connecticut has forested hills, new urban skylines, shoreline beaches, white-steeple colonial churches, and historic village greens. There are classic Ivy League schools, modern expressways, great corporate offices, and small farms. Connecticut is both a thriving center of business as well as a vacation land. With all it has going for it, is it any wonder that CT waterfront real estate located on beautiful Long Island Sound traditionally doesn't stay on the market very long?
The Fairfield County area in particular offers something for everyone looking for CT waterfront real estate. It has close proximity to New York City, cultural wealth, and an education system that rivals any in the state. From Stamford's sophisticated downtown with high rise apartments & condos to the prestigious Westover & North Stamford with 1 & 2 acre zoning, stone walls and woods, to Shippan for those who love the waterfront and Long Island Sound... it is easy to understand why people that want to live near the coast look for waterfront homes for sale in Connecticut first!
In the vicinity of the shore properties, Connecticut abounds with plenty of recreational options. In the Stamford area alone, there are beaches, marina and boat slips, public golf courses, bocce, tennis and paddle courts, softball fields, running tracks, swimming pools, skating rink and parks for picnics.

Connecticut cottages are another desirable option for those wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of larger cities. Connecticut cottages, whether they are Connecticut cottages for rent or for sale, are located both inland and near the shore. Most Connecticut cottages are located within a short walk to fine restaurants, smart shops, art galleries, and antique shops. If you prefer a Connecticut waterfront cottage rental, you'll wake up to the sound of the surf and to glorious sunrises, enjoy spectacular water views, observe ospreys and herons searching for food or watch boats go by on beautiful Long Island Sound.
Step down to the beach from your Connecticut waterfront cottage rental and go sunning, swimming, kayaking, fishing, snorkeling or diving. Take a boat for a short ride to Long Island or a longer, relaxing ride to Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard and Block Island.
If you prefer offshore fishing, Connecticut cottages for rent, especially a Connecticut waterfront cottage rental, offers you a short run to the famed fishing grounds of Montauk, Fisher Island and the Atlantic Canyons.
Added benefits of owning Connecticut shore real estate
and Connecticut cottages
In addition to providing a comfortable home for yourself and your family, Connecticut waterfront real estate and waterfront homes for sale in Connecticut can be your gateway to financial freedom! When the stock market goes through uncertain times, like it has of late, investors seek out safer havens for their investment dollars. Real estate, obviously, is at the top of the list and waterfront homes for sale in Connecticut are as desirable as any coastal property.
- Cash Flow
Investing in CT waterfront real estate can provide a positive cash flow even after all expenses have been covered. - Appreciation
The average single-family home sold for $23,000 in 1970; in 2000, a similar average home sold for $169,000, representing an approximate 8% annual increase. Judging by the current growth of our population, there will be a continuing need for housing for the foreseeable future, and there is no reason to believe the annual appreciation levels will fluctuate much. - Equity Build Up
With each mortgage payment you make on Connecticut shore real estate or Connecticut cottages, you reduce your mortgage and increase your equity. The shorter the loan period, the quicker your equity builds. - Tax Savings
As long as you're not a dealer, you can depreciate your Connecticut waterfront real estate or Connecticut cottages on schedule E when filing annual tax returns.
Consider the following for a moment: If you put $15,000 into the stock market, instead of the 15-20% return on investment you would have realized just a few short years ago, today you hope that it will just stay ahead of inflation. Let's say your investment grows annually at 5%, and was worth $16,250 at the end of the first year. Not bad, you say? Well, that's true...as long as inflation didn't grow at 6%! But for the time being, let's say inflation didn't grow at all and you realized the entire $1,250 profit. Highly unlikely, but let's assume it for a moment anyway.
Now, take that same $15,000 and invest it in waterfront homes for sale in Connecticut or Connecticut cottages. For simplicity's sake, let's say it represents a 10% down payment on a $150,000 property. Unlike the stock market, in an investment in Connecticut shore real estate or Connecticut cottages, your money doesn't grow based on the amount you put into the transaction, it grows based on the leveraged value of the property. If your $150,000 property increases in value by the same 5% your money made in the stock market, your property becomes worth $157, 500. The $7,500 increase - in reality - becomes a 50% growth rate on your initial $15,000 investment!

Still not convinced that Connecticut real estate
delivers the most 'bang
for your buck?'
Consider this analysis given by Fannie Mae Chairman and CEO Franklin D. Raines before the National Press Club....
It's January 1990. Three individuals have just received a $10,000 year-end bonus. And they're trying to decide what to do with the windfall.
John decides to invest his $10,000 in the stock market, and being conservative with his finances, he puts the money in an index fund of S & P 500 stocks.
Bill is excited by the possibilities of the Internet and all the new technology companies, so he puts his $10,000 in a Nasdaq index fund.
Mary has never invested in the stock market. But she's tired of paying rent every month with nothing to show for it. So she put her $10,000 down on a bungalow listing for about $80,000.
It's about 12 years later. Assuming they all had to pay for shelter every month, how would you say John, Bill, and Mary did on their $10,000 investment? Who came out better?
Since 1990, the value of the S & P 500 more than tripled. So from his initial investment of $10,000, John made about $22,000, pre-tax.
During the same period, the value of the Nasdaq quadrupled. So Bill's gain was roughly $30,000, pre-tax.
What about Mary? During the same period, home values increased roughly 4 percent per year nationally. At that rate, the house that Mary bought for $80,000 is now worth about $126,000. And if she sold it, she would have a profit of about $46,000. And that gain would be free of capital gains taxes.
"It is extraordinary," said Raines, "that after the longest, strongest bull market in history, the average American built more wealth owning a home than she did in the stock market.
"Most Americans invest and earn more in their homes than they invest and earn from their savings accounts, IRAs, stocks, bonds or other investments," he said. "During the past ten years, the average stockholder earned $23,000 in the stock market, while the average homeowner earned $44,000 in home equity. Home equity remains the cornerstone of most family wealth."
