My sisters live in Fairfield County. Yea the one that GE Corporate HQ abandoned for Boston for lower taxes(figure that out) and the housing market is awash with high middle manager homes. Taking 6-12 months to sell. The problem they have is that they pay over $1,000 per month on their homes for taxes. They are finally selling and moving South. Going to be a tarheel.

I live in Fairfield County too. My monthly taxes have gone from $900 to nearly $1200 in the space of three years! That's literally a mortgage in itself. I don't know how people on fixed incomes can do it. Hence all the homes for sale around here. Fortunately my job in Manhattan pays for it all but when I retire, I'm probably going to have to pull up stakes and go somewhere else. It's a shame because this is beautiful country. I'm surrounded by woods, rivers and horse farms.
