Wondering about House prices?

One of the amazing (and depressing) things about living in Connecticut is the housing prices. Oftentimes, what appears to be a run-down shack on a tiny sliver of land can sell for half a million dollars. Such is the power of Fairfield County and its proximity to New York City. If you are ever on the road and wondering about a house you see for sale (or even one NOT for sale), check out House Front or text message the address to "HOUSE". You'll get back a reply with all the public info about the house (if any), along with its estimated asking price. The service is free, though normal access charges apply if you do not have free text messaging on your plan.
