Bantam Lake weekend houses and year-round Ranches
The town's housing plan says about 34% of Morris homes, or 453 houses, are used seasonally or occasionally, and that the number of weekend homes has grown over the last 18 years. That makes Morris a market where many sellers live somewhere else.
Prices have climbed. Between October 2024 and September 2025, 37 homes sold at a median of $625,000, about 27% higher than the year before. On its own, the single-family median was $640,000 from 33 arms-length sales. With so few sales, each one moves the numbers.
Ranches are the most common style at 28%, then Colonials at 16% and Cape Cods at 14%. The median house dates to around 1963, about 46% predate 1960, and 25.6% are older than 1940. Oil heats about 65% of homes, and propane is common too. Nearly every house, 91% by the town plan's count, is a single-family home on its own lot.

What is different about selling a house in Morris
Morris is a small, rural Litchfield County town on the south side of Bantam Lake, where many homes are second or weekend houses. Nearly all housing is single-family homes on their own lots, and new or expanded housing has to meet well and on-site septic rules.
- Revaluation schedule
- Seasonal and weekend homes
- Single-family, well and septic
Morris's next revaluation is scheduled for October 1, 2027. Until then, assessments are based on the previous revaluation.
OPM revaluation schedule 2023-2037The town's housing plan reports that about a third of Morris's housing stock (34%, or 453 homes) is used seasonally or occasionally, and that the number of weekend homes has grown over the last 18 years.

Town of Morris Affordable Housing Plan (final draft, 2021)What Morris houses usually need
- Well and on-site septic
- Older wiring and pipes
- Oil and propane systems
- A house that sat empty
New or expanded housing in Morris must meet well and on-site septic rules, so buyers look closely at both. We buy with the systems as they are.
With 25.6% of homes built before 1940, old wiring, pipes and lead paint come up often. We price them in.
Most houses burn oil, with propane close behind. Old tanks and burners are part of our walkthrough.
Weekend houses can sit closed for months. Musty basements and winterized plumbing are fine with us.
Why a quick sale suits many Morris owners
When the house is a second home, every step of a regular sale means another trip: cleaning, showings, inspections, repairs. A cash offer from photos or one short visit cuts that down, and you can close without coming back.
The tax bill keeps running in the meantime. At 19.41 mills, a typical single-family pays about $8,490 a year, or about $710 a month. Morris's next revaluation is scheduled for October 1, 2027, and until then assessments are based on the previous one.
Behind on payments or taxes
Facing foreclosure or a tax lien in Morris?
Behind on a mortgage for a Morris house? The clock in Connecticut is the Law Day, set by the Superior Court under the strict foreclosure most cases use. Before it comes, you can sell and keep any equity above what you owe.
Back taxes on a second home are easy to miss when the bills go to the lake address. On about $8,490 a year, overdue Connecticut tax adds 1.5% a month, or 18% a year, and the town can lien the house. Those balances are cleared from the proceeds at closing.
