Stop Losing Equity on Your Central CT Home (photo courtesy of Photos8.com on flickr.com)

It is possible to purchase insurance that will keep you from losing equity in your Central CT home.  Connecticut real estate has long been thought of as  a great investment but in recent years has proved to be a bit more volatile.  A company out of California has provided a solution to anyone who is uneasy about buying a new CT home and potentially losing money in the investment.  For 1% of the value of your Connecticut home, you can purchase insurance that protects you in case your house depreciates.

Working Equity Inc., is essentially selling insurance that guarantees the value of your Central Connecticut home later if you decide to sell.  Of course, there are a few regulations.  You must own your Connecticut home for at least two years, and it must be your primary residence.  Working Equity Inc. is selling peace of mind in an uncertain market, and that could be something that is worth 1% of your home value.
