FEMA Community Status Book, ConnecticutWhat Voluntown houses usually need
- Wood stove and chimney
- Oil heat
- Wear from the woods
- Small-house updates
With wood heating close to one home in five, stoves, liners and chimneys come up in nearly every inspection. We buy Voluntown homes with those stoves as they are.
About 72% of houses burn oil. Old tanks and burners are priced into our offer.
Houses surrounded by trees often need roofs, gutters and siding sooner. We handle those Voluntown repairs after closing.
Many smaller Ranches and Capes need kitchens, baths and windows. We buy the Voluntown house before any remodel.
Why a quick sale can suit Voluntown
With only 26 sales in a year, buyers are few, and a house far down a forest road can take a while to sell. A cash offer gives you a set price and date instead of waiting on the market.
Voluntown has no blight fines. At the May 20, 2025 annual town budget meeting, voters rejected a proposed blight ordinance that would have allowed fines of $10 to $100 per day, so those fines did not take effect. That takes some pressure off, but an empty house still costs tax and upkeep every month.
Taxes are lighter than in many towns. At 20.78 mills, a median house pays about $5,450 a year, about $450 a month. Voluntown's last revaluation took effect October 1, 2024, and its next is planned for October 1, 2029.
Behind on payments or taxes
Facing foreclosure or a tax lien in Voluntown?
Even at Voluntown's 20.78 mill rate, a median house owes about $5,450 a year. Once tax is late, Connecticut adds 1.5% a month, or 18% a year, and the town can lien the house.
On a mortgage in default, Connecticut mostly uses strict foreclosure. The Superior Court sets a Law Day, and the lender can take the house once it passes. Selling first keeps your equity, and we pay the loan and back taxes at closing.
