New Listing

2009-04-01T15:10:00.001-07:00

I've put on a great new listing in Fairfield, at 27 Pine Creek Ave, just a few steps from one of the best kept secrets in Fairfield- the South Pine Creek Beach. There is rarely anyone there, and it's a great place to have a picnic without the chaos of Jennings or Penfield Beach. There will be a public open house this Sunday April 5 from 1-3pm.

As for the Westport Connecticut Real Estate market, things are still quite active on our offices high end listings. (2.25 million +) Buyers are taking their time, and sellers don't want to "give away" their prized possession. But ultimately, things are still selling. My office has been involved in 60% of all transactions closed in '09 thus far.

What a difference a week makes!

I took a 5 day vacation earlier this month with my family, thinking that I wouldn't miss much activity on the Fairfield County real estate scene. It was as if I fell asleep and woke up 3 months later. The Westport CT real estate market was suddenly very busy! My listings that had been getting 1 or 2 showings over the past month were now getting 1 or 2 showings daily! The great news, is that this was not just me, but our entire real estate office! Offers were coming in, showings were up, and most importantly, deals were being made! All my buyers were back!

Over the past 2 years, I've had a lot of clients end up renting a house in Weston, Westport or Fairfield, with the main reason being to "see what happens" in the housing market. Many of these clients are now 2 years into renting, seeing mortgage rates at historical lows, wondering, "Why wait any longer." It's a great time to buy a house!

Nuggets of the week:

There is nothing better than a free LISTINGBOOK account. You can search the Fairfield County MLS like an agent, crunch numbers, view high-resolution photos, monitor price adjustments, and even ask your Realtor questions.
