Easton Market Conditions Report The town of Easton, Connecticut is one of the most beautiful and quaint towns in Fairfield County. There is no real commercial development, except for a village store, one gas station, and a number of older working farms. The well-known Aspetuck and Hemlock Reservoirs are just two of three, formerly owned by The Bridgeport Hydraulic Company that service many of the surrounding towns. This watershed area comprises almost 40% of the entire town. The area surrounding these reservoirs is as picturesque as a postcard. On your scenic drive in Easton, expect to see an old barn, many historic homes, and plenty of stately manors. The town of Easton is boasts over 7500 acres of preserved land, and you will encounter old-style colonial stone walls everywhere you go. It would not be uncommon to see someone riding a horse here, either privately owned, or from one of the local stables like the Lion Hill Riding Academy. The eighteenth century charm and seclusion is evident throughout the town, which has masterfully planned a mix of vintage homes with newer regal homes, while maintaining its rural beauty. Founded in 1757, but not incorporated until the 1847, Easton's beginnings were brought upon by men from the Parish of Fairfield. Easton was favored by Redcoat and Colonial troops during the revolutionary war. In 1797, Samuel Staples founded the first 'free' school in Easton, so that rich and poor could both receive an adequate education. The fund for the poor exists today, and is known as the Easton Town Deposit Fund. This town's current ambience is that of a quiet residential community. Visit this lovely town in the privacy of your own home by clicking on a Virtual Tour of Easton> and learn about Easton's educational system by visiting our Easton School Tour. The rural character of Easton has been steadfastly maintained over the years, while still allowing minimal residential growth. Zoning still requires 3 acres lot size in over 90% of the town. Housing is strictly single family residences, with no apartments, condominiums, or industry. The Connecticut Golf Club and the Aspetuck Valley Country Club offer a low key social setting in town, while bordering towns offer varied social happenings.

Tax Considerations >Tax Deductions
Here is a question which is often asked about real estate sales: which home loan fees are deductible for income tax purposes? It is good to know the answer to this question before you sign on the dotted line. It may influence which loan you will choose. Loan fees for certain services are not itemized on your fee statement, but are grouped together into a single category.
The most obvious deductible fee is the loan fee paid to acquire a mortgage for a principal residence. The IRS recently ruled that the buyer could deduct the fee in the first year, even if the seller paid it! Other deductions include pro-rated property taxes and mortgage interest. On these items, the buyer may only deduct their share.
Most of the other closing costs are not deductible, but you may add them to your home's adjusted cost basis when calculating appreciation. Among these costs are appraisal, attorney, and inspection fees, as well as title, recording and notary fees. Fire insurance fees are neither deductible nor do they figure into the cost basis. If you are not sure which fees are deductible, consult a professional tax advisor.
