Reply to comment by WestRiverTraveler in Guilford vs Madison by Coffee_Cardio

I’d vouch for this comment. The economic diversity in both towns is there, because until the pandemic hit, working class salaries could get you something for sure, in either town, even a couple of WalMart greeters could afford to buy something as long as they kept their eyes peeled. Sadly, the pandemic inflated house prices a lot here. Hopefully it won’t be permanent in terms of inclusion. The shoreline does not want to be Fairfield County.

Racial diversity is not big and neither town is happy about that so it would be better if we were more diverse.

I got in on the early wave, before things went crazy. 4br 2.5 bath, 1900sq ft on 2 acres for $365K. Coming from Boston, I couldn't make an offer fast enough. I could probably sell it for $500K now.

That’s a hell of a bargain considering what is even available for sale and now the prices for what you get. Well done!

Yeah, I got lucky with the timing. The wave hit Boston first. I made a killing on my sale up there and caught a bargain here. Fast $100+k I ever made😂
