I would like to apologize for the last few weeks. The spring market is upon us and I have been busy with clients and showings. However, the numbers, analysis, and open houses are completely up to date.
The above magnificent English Manor is located at 9 Mayo Avenue. The first reason I was drawn to this property is that it is past the gates of the Belle Haven Association. However, the home sits outside of the association. Hence, you get the benefit of the security gate without the fees of the association. The home was built in 2012, and while walking through it feels like it has not been lived in. I was struck by the details of the finishes. I loved the molding of the arches, the complement of the colors of the wood with the color of the paint on the walls. There is a 1,500 s.f. basement, a heated pool, four bedrooms, five full and one half baths, three fire places, and the list goes on and on. However, for me it is the location. The ability to walk out your door and go for walks within the Belle Haven Association, as well as being close to train and Greenwich Avenue's shops and restaurants. The home has been on the market for 18 days and is listed at $5.75M.
The newsletter has had a lot of new subscribers over the last month so I wanted to take a second to explain the sections. The first section is the featured property, with a short weekly roundup of the market. The next couple of sections are charts and analysis of the market concluding with a months on average chart so one can see how their price range is doing compared to other price ranges as well as compared to earlier months and years. Following the analysis is the Open house list. I use a myriad of sources including the Greenwich Times, Greenwich Multiple Listing Service, Fairfield County Multiple Listing Service, as well as Real Estate websites such as Trulia and Zillow.
We currently have 547 total properties for sale in Greenwich. That is up 30 since March 1. Thirty new properties is a nice size jump, but when realizing that there were 114 new listings, a net of thirty does not seem so bad. Last year at this time we had 598 total properties for sale based on my April 5th, 2013 newsletter. Hence, it is a ten percent more competitive market this year than last year.
I have invested in my own MLS Search for my readers. This will give access to a lot of the listing information I have. Also, if I have already set you up with your personal portal, you will now be able to search your own searches outside of what I set up for you. Feel free to test out and search properties. I feel the best attribute is that you can save your own search and choose to get alerts as new properties come on to the market, properties are sold, or change in price. All specific to your customized search. Hence, you will speed up your learning curve, becoming an expert in the specific market you care about.
Please let me know if you would like me to provide customized information or statistics for you based on your criteria.
