thank god new haven has countless sudden "market rate" luxury apartment complexes absolutely no one can afford!

You wont find affordable in new haven. Try surrounding towns.

Nsw haven has no vacancies. You are competing.

I don't really want to go over 3k/m Where's it located? That should work for us.

Not sure what your budget is, SO and I just moved out of our home downtown and will be renting soon. DM if you want details.

Who knew interest rates were going to skyrocket?

Yes, and we really need space for a home office, which pushes us into 3 bedroom territory. Also a lot of folks prefer to rent to students, I guess, and want us to take short leases.

Thanks! We're really kicking ourselves for not being more proactive with our home purchase.

Honestly it’s simple supply and demand. Covid changed the way people are working, which cleared the way for people commuting into NYC every day to move farther out and work from home or go to the office a lot less.

No, we are new to CT too, but we're able to squeak in a purchase prior to moving across the country. I do know our agent and could recommend him to you, as least to inquire about a rental agent referral or if he could be helpful in any other way. He is active on Reddit ...

Edit: here he is - u/CTRealtorCarl

For finding a rental? It's been about 20 years since we've had to do this, do you have anyone to recommend?

Do you have a real estate agent?

I’ve been going with Forbes fuel oil they can come out if you run out just call the office and they can help

Omg tysm!! I just asked my partner and they said there’s no code, but we just need your first and last name plus email. Feel free to DM me. We’ll each get $25! So cool!

Yeah 7% loss is usually what I see. Even at 10 his statement makes no sense. And that’s without getting into environmental factors.

My electric bill doesn’t tell me anything you just said. It only has one of the variables you’d need - that of how much centralized generation and distribution are costing.

Edit: and home generation would be buying NG on the same market, without the bulk buying power.

There’s a total of 5 pipelines in New England, 3 of which come through CT. 3 of which come from Canada (ok if you want to be technical there’s a dinky little one I’m not counting that goes just a few miles into Vermont from Canada). One of those comes to CT (Iroquois). The other two in CT are the Algonquin and the Tennessee.

The pipeline issue everyone keeps bringing up is about 6 years ago CT put the kibosh on new lines after MA and NH did the same.

The pipeline was intended to come up from the South for a significant alternate gas source.

They've built several new NG pipelines from Canada into the northeast over the last couple decades.

This is a pretty bold statement and one I haven't heard before. We lose maybe 10% of the energy in transmission and distribution. Modern combined cycle NG power plants run at 50-60% efficiency. Overall grid efficiency in the US is about 35%, which includes lots of old inefficient plants.

You'd be lucky to get 25% with a home NG generator. Probably more like 15-20. And then you're exhausting pollution right at your house, without the benefits of scrubbers or modern emission control systems. We'd be better off building new efficient centralized plants. At least until more efficient distributed generation options or residential CHP are more cost effective.

Also, if you have a referral code, let me know so you can get some $$ for referring me haha

Yes, from New Haven — thank you so much!

Welcome to the wonderful world of oil heating 🙃 it’s super expensive and a pain in the ass!

Oh sorry! We order from Ryan oil. Are you in New Haven? I feel like there may be more options there. Here’s a good website: https://www.delivermefuel.com/https://www.delivermefuel.com/
