Greenwich Real Estate Guy's Blog: August 25th Open House List

The Greenwich Real Estate Guy's Blog: August 25th Open House List and 100 Best Schools
A weekly analysis brought to you by Greenwich Real Estate Guy.

 

Pictured above is 100 best schools.  North Mianus ranked as the top in Greenwich and 12th on the list.
CONNECTICUT - Niche.com has just released what it says are the top 100 public elementary schools for the 2019-20 school year. And it's fair to assume after reviewing the list that they are big fans of New Canaan and Westport's elementary schools.
There are 65 Open Homes this Sunday.

Greenwich Real Estate Guy's Blog: August 11th Open House List

The Greenwich Real Estate Guy's Blog: August 11th Open House List 
A weekly analysis brought to you by Greenwich Real Estate Guy.
 

 

 

The above picture is 10 Andrews Road.  The house is 9,055 s.f. with six bedrooms, six full baths, and two half baths.  The home was built in 2007 and priced at $4.325M.  The open house is from 1-3 p.m.
Idyllic, close to town location offers extraordinary six-bedroom shingle style home on 1.66 acres with pool, spa, and waterfall bordering Wolf Pond. The stylish interior showcases architectural details and luxurious finishes with French doors in main rooms that unfold to terraces overlooking the water. Granite-clad chef's kitchen opens to breakfast area and family room with fireplace. Dining room with butler's pantry, wine room; living room with fireplace; and office. A two-sided fireplace anchors the master suite with a sitting room, balcony, spa bath, and walk-in closets. Three bedrooms, two baths, media/bonus room, and laundry room reside on the second level. An office; gym in a rotunda with cupola; deck, two bedrooms and bath comprise the top floor. 3-car garage.
Here is our 2nd Quarter Market Report.  As you can see the market is still a trying market for sellers, where pricing and value are the two deciding factors.
There's something for everyone to enjoy in Greenwich, Connecticut during our summer months. The Town of Greenwich operates an 18-hole golf course, numerous tennis courts, a beautiful new pool, pristine beaches and even seasonal ferry service to Island Beach Park and Great Captains Island for residents. If that's not enough we have spacious inland and coastal parks for hiking, riding horses and mountain biking.

The summer, however, tends to be quieter in real estate. While we saw a modest improvement in market conditions in the second quarter it wasn't enough to erase the losses from the previous quarter. Home sales dropped 12% year over year in Q2. A weak NYC market, the impact of recent tax reforms and a perception that the market has more room to decline has kept some buyers patiently on the sidelines. Those that have stepped up and are making offers are getting value-driven deals done.
What catches a buyer's attention today? Strategic initial pricing plays a key role in reducing days on market and maximizing a selling price. In 2019, it's taken, on average, more than 230 days to sell a home. However, when a home is priced in a way that doesn't require a reduction to sell the average days on market falls to just 80 days. With inventory on the rise, it is more important than ever to price leaner than the competition. Condition also plays a critical role in attracting buyers today. Buyers are doing their initial home tours online and a seller can run the risk of rejection before the buyer even physically visits a home. Savvy sellers have noticed and are sprucing up their homes and often staging them to get more online clicks, showings and offers.
Among the highlights from the second quarter was a nearly 40% jump in the geography North of the Merritt Parkway. Buyers have taken notice of price declines here and stepped in to take advantage of the value propositions. Mid-Country Greenwich also experienced a nearly 8% increase in home sales last quarter. Value is proving to dictate where the buyers perform.
We are grateful to our world class agents and loyal clients who have made Houlihan Lawrence retain our leadership position in Greenwich, Connecticut for more than four and a half years. Thank you.

The Greenwich Real Estate Guy's Blog: August 4th Open House List and 5 Lenox Rental
A weekly analysis brought to you by Greenwich Real Estate Guy.
 

 

 

The above picture is the kitchen to my new rental listing at 5 Lenox Road #2.  Rarely, does a unit come on the market with 5 bedrooms this close to town.  Just a block and half from Greenwich Avenue's shops, restaurants, and parks.  Literally a stone's throw to Whole Foods and Starbucks.  Five bedrooms, four full baths, and plenty of space with 2,736 s.f.
Great rental opportunity! This completely renovated apartment offers the best of in-town living on quiet street just 1 block from Greenwich Avenue's shops, restaurants, parks, and walking distance to train. Rental includes the top two floors of a beautiful turn of century home five bedrooms, four full baths and fully renovated open kitchen with dining area. Off street parking, updated appliances, easy living make this a great find.  Listed at $6,950 per month.
Here is our 2nd Quarter Market Report.  As you can see the market is still a trying market for sellers, where pricing and value are the two deciding factors.
There's something for everyone to enjoy in Greenwich, Connecticut during our summer months. The Town of Greenwich operates an 18-hole golf course, numerous tennis courts, a beautiful new pool, pristine beaches and even seasonal ferry service to Island Beach Park and Great Captains Island for residents. If that's not enough we have spacious inland and coastal parks for hiking, riding horses and mountain biking.

The summer, however, tends to be quieter in real estate. While we saw a modest improvement in market conditions in the second quarter it wasn't enough to erase the losses from the previous quarter. Home sales dropped 12% year over year in Q2. A weak NYC market, the impact of recent tax reforms and a perception that the market has more room to decline has kept some buyers patiently on the sidelines. Those that have stepped up and are making offers are getting value-driven deals done.
What catches a buyer's attention today? Strategic initial pricing plays a key role in reducing days on market and maximizing a selling price. In 2019, it's taken, on average, more than 230 days to sell a home. However, when a home is priced in a way that doesn't require a reduction to sell the average days on market falls to just 80 days. With inventory on the rise, it is more important than ever to price leaner than the competition. Condition also plays a critical role in attracting buyers today. Buyers are doing their initial home tours online and a seller can run the risk of rejection before the buyer even physically visits a home. Savvy sellers have noticed and are sprucing up their homes and often staging them to get more online clicks, showings and offers.
Among the highlights from the second quarter was a nearly 40% jump in the geography North of the Merritt Parkway. Buyers have taken notice of price declines here and stepped in to take advantage of the value propositions. Mid-Country Greenwich also experienced a nearly 8% increase in home sales last quarter. Value is proving to dictate where the buyers perform.
We are grateful to our world class agents and loyal clients who have made Houlihan Lawrence retain our leadership position in Greenwich, Connecticut for more than four and a half years. Thank you.

Greenwich Real Estate Guy's Blog: 2nd Quarter Market Report and July 28th Open House List 

The Greenwich Real Estate Guy's Blog: 2nd Quarter Market Report and July 28th Open House List 
A weekly analysis brought to you by Greenwich Real Estate Guy.
 

 

 

The blog that was sent earlier was last week's edition.  My computer is acting crazy.  Here is this weeks with the list of July 28th Open homes.
I apologize for the delay in getting this out to you.  I am having bad  computer issues.  Who knew working keyboards made such a difference.  Unfortunately, given the state of the computer I cannot do links or featured property.  They ordered a new keyboard for Tuesday so we should be all set for next week.  I am sorry for the inconvenience.  You can enter the address here to see the link manually.  I will be hosting an open house at 444 Old Church from 2-4 p.m. Come by and visit this incredible value.
Pictured above is our 2nd Quarter Market Report.  As you can see the market is still a trying market for sellers, where pricing and value are the two deciding factors.
There's something for everyone to enjoy in Greenwich, Connecticut during our summer months. The Town of Greenwich operates an 18-hole golf course, numerous tennis courts, a beautiful new pool, pristine beaches and even seasonal ferry service to Island Beach Park and Great Captains Island for residents.
