Selling Your Lake Home in Connecticut
A number that accounts for frontage, dock rights, and cove protection, not square footage.
Why a Square-Footage CMA Gets a Lake Home Wrong
Most CMAs are built on square footage. On a lake, that is not what the property is actually worth. Chelsea Stinson prices lake homes on frontage, dock permitting, water depth, and cove protection first, the factors that actually separate two similar-looking homes by hundreds of thousands of dollars.

What Sellers Across Connecticut's Lakes Are Actually Facing
Whether it's a longtime owner ready for the number to be interesting, an inherited property with multiple heirs, or a divorce that requires a neutral hand, the pricing foundation is the same: a real Waterfront Value Audit, never a guess designed to win the listing.
How Chelsea Delivers a Sale
Every listing gets professional photo and video that show frontage and dock access properly, targeted marketing built around real buyer-origin data, Chelsea's own analytics show New York as the largest source of buyer interest for Candlewood content, and negotiation that protects the seller rather than just closing the deal fastest.
