Colonials, Fixer-Uppers Dominate Local Home Sales

Buyers split this week between fixer uppers and larger homes.

Home sales in the area last week included a large newer colonial in northern Bethel, as well as older colonials in Brookfield and Danbury and a recently renovated antique in Newtown. This was also the week for buying fixer uppers: one in Danbury and two in Newtown.
