Greenwich Real Estate Guy's Blog: March 21st Open House List 

The Greenwich Real Estate Guy's Blog: March 21 Open House List
A weekly analysis brought to you by Greenwich Real Estate Guy.

 

Pictured above is 9 Tinker LaneThe home is listed as 6,789 s.f. It holds six bedrooms with five full baths and one half bath. The property is 2 acres in a two acre zone. The price is $3.45M and the open house is from 1-3 p.m.
Reimagined with renewable resources and state of the art comfort systems, a six-bedroom Colonial home located on two cul-de-sac acres. Wonderful flow featuring a step-down living room, elegant dining room, lovely home office and family room which opens to an updated gourmet eat-in kitchen. Exciting master suite upstairs with modern sitting room, linear fireplace, private balcony, custom designed dressing room and spa-like marble bathroom. Bamboo floors, a light-filled homework/study area and laundry room on spacious second floor. Two expansive terraces and a 2000+ square foot lower level game room and gym with stone patio for carefree entertaining. Classic Walpole fencing surrounds rolling green lawns, flowering trees and a heated swimming pool in the backyard!
The question I get asked most often is how is the market. Here is a little snapshot of the preliminary numbers as of February with a note from my Broker:
Home sales nearly doubled in February 2021 vs. the same month a year ago but sales declined modestly from January 2021. I suspect the 10% decline in sales from January to February was due more to the lack of inventory than a tapping of the brakes by buyers here. Based on the number of pricings I was aware of this and last week and activity at new listings it feels like the buyers remain ready to pounce. 
There are 277 homes for sale in Greenwich, CT today, down from 513 a year ago - see attached Houlihan Lawrence Market Overview report. And while homes are selling with shorter DOM and closer to asking price, we are still seeing that price reductions and smart initial​ pricing play a major role in attracting offers.
Our brokerage market share data remain so impressive - both in terms of PENDING and CLOSED deals this year - see attached. Thank you! Your perseverance and laser focus on winning listings and delivering success to your clients continues Houlihan Lawrence's role as the most trusted real estate brand in Greenwich.
With the lack of inventory and the buyer demand increasing I believe these numbers will continue to increase. Remember that the first four months of last year the world came to a standstill so just about all of the increase has happened in last 6-8 months. The difficulty of writing a blog is how to give customized data for over 500 readers. That being said if you would like specific or customized data to your location or specific house please do not hesitate to email or call.

Pictured above is 14 Perryridge Roadone of the best in town streets in 
Greenwich. his beautiful home has four bedrooms and three full baths with an additional half bath. It sits on .23 of an acre and has 3,183 s.f. The list price is $1.995M and the open house is from 1-3 p.m. on Sunday.
Stylish, in-town four bedroom Colonial showcases a 2018 renovated interior which includes Carrara marble kitchen, baths and rich hardwood floors nestled on coveted street with lovely yard. Offers an easy sidewalk stroll to town. Elegant main level boasts striking kitchen with center island seating, Wolf, Bosch and Sub-Zero appliances, inviting breakfast nook; bay window overlooking backyard in dining room; wonderful family room with outdoor access; tasteful living room with fireplace flanked by bookcases and powder room. Second floor features chic master suite with deck, radiant heated floors in luxurious bath; two bedrooms and full bath. A private guest suite with full bath and laundry room comprise walkout lower level. Great work from home options here! With attached two-car garage.
The question I get asked most often is how is the market. Here is a little snapshot of the preliminary numbers as of February with a note from my Broker:
Home sales nearly doubled in February 2021 vs. the same month a year ago but sales declined modestly from January 2021. I suspect the 10% decline in sales from January to February was due more to the lack of inventory than a tapping of the brakes by buyers here.

Our brokerage market share data remain so impressive - both in terms of PENDING and CLOSED deals this year - see attached. Thank you! Your perseverance and laser focus on winning listings and delivering success to your clients continues Houlihan Lawrence's role as the most trusted real estate brand in Greenwich.
I was in communication with a reader who had asked about whether his house or my house has gone up in value in the last year, last few months etc. It got me thinking and ran some analysis. As an estimate as every location and house is different this is where I believe homes stand vs different times in the last year, for Greenwich as a whole:
Now vs. last year- approximately 3% increase in value
Now vs. 9 months ago- approximately 5% increase in value
Now vs. 6 months ago- approximately 2% increase in value
Now vs 3 months ago- approximately 1% increase in value
With the lack of inventory and the buyer demand increasing I believe these numbers will continue to increase.

Greenwich Real Estate Guy's Blog: February 21st Open House List and January Market Update

The Greenwich Real Estate Guy's Blog: February 21 Open House List
A weekly analysis brought to you by Greenwich Real Estate Guy.

 

I have been in negotiations on an off market home last evening and this morning, coupled with appointments I have today, I was not able to input the links in the spreadsheet. Pictured above is 175 Riverside Avenue. The home contains five bedrooms, three full baths and one half bath. The open house is from 1-3 p.m.
Exceptionally updated home in adored Riverside neighborhood. Walking distance to train, town, schools & club. No space was spared updating! Newly finished hardwood floors & new ADT security system, fresh paint & RH light fixtures. Large & bright formal living and dining room lead to the kitchen w/ granite counters, top of the line Eurolux appliances & peninsula w/ bar seating. Expansive family room & breakfast nook is adjourned by wall of windows & skylights. Entertainer's dream backyard includes new wraparound flagstone patio. Den has a FP w/ 2nd flue for pizza making/cooking! The mudroom off the garage is flanked by a first floor bedroom, office, & full bath. Spa-like master suite has french doors to private deck, lavish bath w/ marble floor & counters, free standing tub, & glass shower.
The question I get asked most often is how is the market. Here is a little snapshot of the market as of January for all of Greenwich:
  • 62 homes sold in January, an 88% increase over January 2020.
  • Average DOM of homes sold in January was 163 days.
  • Total $$ volume in January was $198,350,500 vs. $87,740,088 last January.
  • Median prices rose 3.4% to $1,912,500.
  • There are only 288 homes on the market in Greenwich, CT today, a 37% reduction over last year at this time.
  • Demand remains high with 136 homes in contract, a 112% increase over last year.
I was communication with a reader who had asked about whether his house or my house has gone up in value in the last year, last few months etc. It got me thinking and ran some analysis. As an estimate as every location and house is different this is where I believe homes stand vs different times in the last year, for Greenwich as a whole:

A weekly analysis brought to you by Greenwich Real Estate Guy.

 

 

I hope everyone is enjoying their family and loved ones on this Valentine's Day. 12 Maplewood Drive in Cos Cob is pictured above. This home has four bedrooms, three full baths, with two more half baths. It is listed as 3,139 s.f. The open house is from 2-4 p.m. Sunday.
