Middletown, Cromwell and Rocky Hill Weather Central Connecticut’s climate is generally typical of the northeastern states: spring is lovely but cool with buds emerging on the trees, summers are warm --- perfect for any outdoor activity, fall is exquisite with vibrant foliage, and winters bring a New England "White Christmas" and delightful snow for the kids and ski slopes. In Central Connecticut, golf enthusiasts can be seen on the greens three out of four seasons. Within 10 miles of the coast, average temperatures are cooler in summer and warmer in winter than more inland locations at similar elevations. Cities are generally warmer than rural areas as they act as "heat islands", resulting in temperatures as much as 10°F higher than those in the surrounding countryside. Average Local Area Temperatures

First Time Buyers >Affording A Home
Are you getting ready to buy your first home? It is important to know how much you can afford before you begin looking at properties. Talking with a lender and getting pre-approved for a loan puts you in a stronger negotiating position with sellers.
As a rule, your monthly housing costs should not exceed 28% of your monthly pre-tax income. These costs include the mortgage payment, real estate taxes, and insurance. If you have long-term debts, such as student loans or car payments, your monthly payments, including your housing costs, should be less than 36% of your pre-tax monthly income. Some loans, such as VA and FHA loans, are more flexible with these basic guidelines.
Depending on which type of mortgage you select, you can consider houses in various price ranges. An adjustable-rate mortgage will usually enable you to qualify for a higher loan amount. Your real estate agent can help you make the basic calculations. Remember that buying at the top end of your price range gives you more time to outgrow your home, and can save you money over the long term.
