What are marketing best practices to attract buyers in NYC to consider purchasing a home in Connecticut which can be at lower cost and still be commutable for those who work in the city?

Hi James,
I’d definitely lean into the commute and add value by being very specific about it. Instead of general language, spell out details like:
- Drive time to the nearest Metro-North station - Parking availability at the station (or walkability) - Total door-to-door commute time to Grand Central or Midtown - Train frequency during peak hours
You can even include screenshots of train schedules or a short “sample commute” breakdown. The more clarity you provide upfront, the more comfortable NYC buyers will feel.
