Greenwich CT, Residential Real Estate Blog and Analysis: October 11th

Greenwich, CT Residential Real Estate Blog and Analysis: 
October 11th
A weekly analysis brought to you by Greenwich Real Estate Guy.
  

The above Colonial is located at 14 Perryridge Road.  Location, Location, Location!!!!  I am obviously a little biased as I live two streets over from Perryridge.  However, this is a beautiful tree lined street close to everything.  You are two blocks from Greenwich Avenue, three blocks from Whole Foods, close to the hospital, train, and restaurants.  14 Perryridge is listed as 2,706 s.f., three bedrooms, with two full baths, and one half bath.  The house sits on .18 of an acre and the listing has the taxes as $8,882 a year.  The house has a cute patio as well.  There is no better time to see this house than this time of the year.  I am from California, and we did not have the beautiful foliage falling in the fall that happens in Greenwich.  Lately, when I have been driving on Perryridge, the leaves have been falling, and it just feels like the quintessential fall day in New England.  The house is priced at $1.895M.

I have updated the links, charts, months on average, and the most current mortgage rates.  The second months on average is based on the sales of this year so you can compare  the differences. Currently, we have 645 properties on the market down from last week.

Below are the Sold Price to List Price percentage for each of the four towns as well as some neighborhood data:

I would like to thank Mark Pruner for mentioning me in the Greenwich Patch.  Mark also does his own synopsis of the Greenwich Market at www.greenwichstreets.com

Please let me know if you would like me to provide customized information or statistics for you based on your criteria. 

**The information on the featured property and all statistical information is from the Greenwich MLS.

**All opinions garnered from the statistics are my own 

Properties Sold

 

You can For the first week of October we had a pretty good number of sold properties.  18 properties sold for the few first days of October.  When compared to 26 new listings we had a good week, and it shows with the decrease of inventory in the market.

 

New Listings

We had 26 new listings in the first few days of  October.  October is typically the last month to get properties on the market, before the market slows, which typically happens the week before Thanksgiving.

 

 

Year to Date Sold

 

 We are not seeing a huge change in the percentages as we are towards the end of the year.  However, I think it is important to point out where there are differences in prices ranges that have a flux between the sold and inventory.  For example in the $500K-$1M is 28% of the total sold properties while only 14% of the current inventory.  If we broaden the price ranges we see that 88% of all properties sold this year have been under $3M, while it only accounts for 53% of the current available inventory.
 
Year to Date Available
  

 

In an effort to define the different markets as a good time to buy or sale I believe one needs to look at the months on average it would take to sell through the inventory we have.  I have broken this down by June of 2012 (which is the high in my opinion) to January of 2013 (the low in my opinion) then will add each month as we come to them.

**to calculate months on average in this chart I used the full year of 2012 sold properties in each price range
 
In the chart above the numbers we have tracked to decide the months on average have been based on last year's sold numbers.  I find it very interesting when comparing the two charts that the under $3M market is even tighter and the over $3M is even slower when you use this year's sold numbers vs last years.

Obviously the months on average were the lowest at the end of the year.  The uncertainty of the fiscal cliff, as well as the election (most properties that closed in December were negotiated before election was finalized), and uncertainty of taxes.  Not to mention if people are going to take their house off of the market they will tend to do it over the holidays.

Greenwich CT, Residential Real Estate Blog and Analysis: October 4th

Greenwich, CT Residential Real Estate Blog and Analysis: 
October 4th
A weekly analysis brought to you by Greenwich Real Estate Guy.
43 Richmond Hill 

 

The above New England Stone and Clapboard home is located at43 Richmond Hill in Back Country.  This house has been on the market numerous times starting at $6.395M.  This is one of my favorite houses that I have seen on the market.  There are many aspects of this home that I love.  The most important is the value.  If you look at the charts below, specifically the comparison report.  You will see year to date in Back Country (noted as N. Parkway) we have sold 37 properties compared to 28 in the same amount of time last year.  That is an increase of 32.1%.  Now the prices have dropped by 27.4%.  I do not believe the price drop can be as true of a statistic as it sounds.  For instance if a $10M dollar property sells it would throw off the skew.  However, I believe the point is valid, we are starting to see properties trade in back country when owners are being realistic of the market.  I believe Back Country has been hit the hardest over the past several years, and with the increased activity there are still values to be had.  I believe this is one of those values.  I love the curb appeal with the circular driveway, the way the house sits on the lot, and the turret on the left hand side.  The flow of the house with the open kitchen and the way the light comes in was also appealing.  Of course, I enjoy my amenities as well.  This house seems to have it all.  The first floor has an expansive deck that looks out over the sprawling lawn.  In the lower level there is a home theatre and a great bar set up.  The lower level walks out to a patio right below the deck. The home has a flow that you can envision a big family very much enjoying.  It is 9,094 s.f. with 5 bedrooms, 5 full baths, and 2 half baths.  It sits on 4 acres of land. The current price is $3.95M.

 I have updated the links, charts, months on average, and the most current mortgage rates.  The second months on average is based on the sales of this year so you can compare  the differences. When looking at the graphs and pie chart, the biggest take away for me is the amount of inventory that came into the market in September compared to last year.  However, we did have a new company move into the area so it could be a lot of Realtors posting the same inventory under a new broker and would count as a new listing.  Ultimately, as of the end of September we had 656 total properties available compared to two weeks ago we had 650.

Below are the Sold Price to List Price percentage for each of the four towns as well as some neighborhood data:

Properties Sold

 

You can see that this is the first month in the past several that the sold number did not out pace the number over the last few years.  I believe a lot of that has to do with the concerns of the fiscal cliff last year.  I believe owners were concerned how their taxes would be affected and felt an urgency to sell their homes by the end of December.  I believe this was the first month we started to see that activity last year.

 

New Listings

We had 158 new properties in September.  Now, there have been a lot of changes with Realtors changing firms.  If their customers want to stay with them, they would cancel the listing and make it a new listing with their new firm.  Hence, this months new listings could be affected.  Hence, we need to keep an eye on this statistic and see what it does next month.

 

 

  

Year to Date Sold

 

 We are not seeing a huge change in the percentages of the properties that have sold.  They are staying relatively consistent.  I do see the over $10M market moving off of the 0% over the next month or two. 
 
Year to Date Available
null  

 

In an effort to define the different markets as a good time to buy or sale I believe one needs to look at the months on average it would take to sell through the inventory we have.  I have broken this down by June of 2012 (which is the high in my opinion) to January of 2013 (the low in my opinion) then will add each month as we come to them.

Greenwich CT, Residential Real Estate Blog and Analysis: September 20th

Greenwich, CT Residential Real Estate Blog and Analysis: 
September 20th
A weekly analysis brought to you by Greenwich Real Estate Guy.
212 Taconic 

 

 

The above colonial is located at 212 Taconic Road in Greenwich.  I am featuring this house again as I will be hosting an open house here on Sunday from one to four p.m.  I was struck by the drive up to the house.  As you pull into the driveway you are met with a beautiful lawn and picturesque pond greeting the entrance to the beautiful home.  It sits on 4.39 acres.  The house has five bedrooms, with five full baths and two half baths.  I also enjoyed the amenities of the house.  The five bedrooms are en suite.  There are five fireplaces, a media/home theatre, as well as a great patio with grill.  I also like the idea of the 2nd home laundry room.  This house has been on the market some time.  However, we are seeing the Back Country and higher price ranges finally start to move.  The house was bought for $4.9M in 2008.  The house first came on the market for $5.495M in May of 2010.  It has been on and off the market since and is currently priced at $4.395M.

 
As you may or may not know Prudential Connecticut was acquired by Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway last year.  We will be changing our name next week.  Here is the letter describing the change:

 

Prudential Connecticut Realty is proud to announce that our name will change on September 26, 2013 to Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New England Properties.  As you may be aware, Prudential Real Estate was acquired by Berkshire Hathaway in October, 2012.  Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices brokerage network is among the few organizations entrusted to use the world-renowned Berkshire Hathaway name.  

 

Berkshire Hathaway is the No. 1 company in Barron's 2013 ranking of the "World's Most Respected" companies; it stands at No. 8 in Fortune magazine's 50 Most Admired Companies survey; and is No. 18 in Harris Interactive's reputation study of the 60 Most Visible Companies.

 

Although our name is changing, our commitment to our clients remains the same. We will continue to provide you with the highest quality real estate experience.  There is nothing you need to do during the transition, but enjoy our new association and your enhanced exposure.

 

 If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

 

This week we had 38 new properties and 13 sold properties bringing the total inventory up to 650.    

 

I have updated the links, charts, and months on average.  I have started a new months on average based on the sales of this year so you can compare  the differences.  If there is one thing to take away from this newsletter it is the differences between the under $3M market and the over $3M market.  Now, is the perfect time to sell under $3M and buy over $3M.  Currently, the under $3M price ranges have nine months on average or less to sell through, where the over $3M price ranges are 25 months or more. Also there was a drop from 272 months on average for the over $10M market that has dropped to 92 months, as we have had three properties sell for over $10M in the past two weeks.

Properties Sold

This demonstrates that we are still seeing great sold numbers.  The past few months we have outpaced previous years.  However, as you can see we are catching back up in new listings for September.  So, we may not hit the sold numbers of last year this year but will hit the new properties number.

 

New Listings
null

We have had 117 new properties and only are two thirds of the way through the year.  Now, there have been a lot of changes with Realtors changing firms.  If their customers want to stay with them, they would cancel the listing and make it a new listing with their new firm.  Hence, this months new listings could be affected.

 

 

 

  
Year to Date Soldnull

 

 We are not seeing a huge change in the percentages of the properties that have sold.  They are staying relatively consistent.  I do see the over $10M market moving off of the 0% over the next month or two. 
 
Year to Date Available
null  

 

In an effort to define the different markets as a good time to buy or sale I believe one needs to look at the months on average it would take to sell through the inventory we have.  I have broken this down by June of 2012 (which is the high in my opinion) to January of 2013 (the low in my opinion) then will add each month as we come to them.

**to calculate months on average in this chart I used the full year of 2012 sold properties in each price range
 
The numbers we have tracked to decide the months on average have been based on last year's sold numbers.  I find it very interesting when looking comparing the two charts that the under $3M market is even tighter and the over $3M is even slower when you use this year's sold numbers vs last years.

Obviously the months on average were the lowest at the end of the year.  The uncertainty of the fiscal cliff, as well as the election (most properties that closed in December were negotiated before election was finalized), and uncertainty of taxes.  Not to mention if people are going to take their house off of the market they will tend to do it over the holidays.

Greenwich CT, Residential Real Estate Blog and Analysis: September 13th

Greenwich, CT Residential Real Estate Blog and Analysis: 
September 13th
A weekly analysis brought to you by Greenwich Real Estate Guy.
Add a description 

 

The above property is located at 26 Broad Avenue on the Belle Haven Peninsula of Greenwich.  The picture is of the view as you walk into the entry of the house.  I love the location as it is just outside the gates of Belle Haven, so one does not have to pay the Belle Haven Association taxes.  The house sits on a perch, in my opinion adding to the views.  The Master Suite is on the first floor with a breathtaking view from the bed.  I could imagine every morning starting off right waking up to that view.  The location is second to none, as it is a great neighborhood for walking, close to Belle Haven Club, and close to town, for shopping.  There is a finished lower level with a fireplace that leads out to the pool.  The house has seven bedrooms, seven baths, and one half bath.  It is listed as 8,425 s.f. and sits on 1.2 acres of land.  The price is $6.795M.

 

This week we had 80 new properties and 27 sold properties bringing the total inventory up to 775.  I had mentioned a couple of weeks ago that the inventory would grow.  However, just two weeks ago we were at 611 properties.  

 

I have updated the links, charts, and months on average.  I have started a new months on average based on the sales of this year so you can compare  the differences.  If there is one thing to take away from this newsletter it is the differences between the under $3M market and the over $3M market.  Now, is the perfect time to sell under $3M and buy over $3M.  Currently, the under $3M price ranges have nine months on average or less to sell through, where the over $3M price ranges are 25 months or more. 

 

A friend of mine has started a Greenwich Parent List.  Coming from Park Slope we belonged to a Parents of Twins Group in Brooklyn and a Park Slope parents group.  I found it very informational, a great place to ask advice or find interesting items.  Moving to Greenwich, I wished there was such a site here, and now there is.  Click on the link to check out; Greenwich Parent List.

"This chart says it all in my opinion.  Look at the last five months and you can see the amount of movement compared to other months over the past few years.  The big jump in June of 2011 was due to the changes in transfer taxes.  As well as the big jump in December of 2012 was due to the fiscal cliff.  If you take those two months out, you can see just how amazing of a run we have had over the past five months.  I personally do believe that the end of August is when there is a strain on inventory as a lot of people take their homes off the market while on vacation etc.  I believe we will see a lot of inventory come on the market in the next three weeks.  I am intrigued to see if we get up to that 716 mark we had in June."  This is what I wrote two weeks ago.  As you can see by the numbers it did not take long to get back to that number.

 

New Listings
null

We have had 80 new properties come on to the market this month.  As you can see we are half way through the month and over half of the new properties we have seen in the past few years.  This works both ways as it is a sign owners feel the market is better but it also adds to the surplus inventory.

**to calculate months on average in this chart I used the full year of 2012 sold properties in each price range
 
The numbers we have tracked to decide the months on average have been based on last year's sold numbers.  Now that we have gone through eight months of the year,  about to hit the fall market I feel it is a good time to show the months on average based on year to date information.  This shows the discrepancy of the markets between the upper end and the lower end.  Obviously, the over $10M is skewed as only one property has closed year to date.  Hence, the 272 months on average it would take.   Next month it will come down dramatically.  I will continue to show both charts so you can see the trends compared to earlier months above when using last year's property sold numbers and then you can see the true pace of the market using year to date's numbers.

Greenwich CT, Residential Real Estate Blog and Analysis: September 6th

Greenwich, CT Residential Real Estate Blog and Analysis: 
September 6th
A weekly analysis brought to you by Greenwich Real Estate Guy.
null 

 

The above property is located at 20 West End Avenue in Old Greenwich.  If you do not usually open the link of the featured property, I suggest you do on this house.  It was refreshing to see the unique style of this home.  It is listed as a Shore Colonial but I do not think it does it justice.  Walking up it reminded me of an old plantation home.  However, it was just built and every amenity was looked after.  The back patio makes you feel like you are at a cabana of a luxury resort complete with outdoor shower, television, and bbq.  I could imagine enjoying it all summer long, as well as sitting out under the covered cabana watching the first snow fall of the season.  Inside the home are five bedrooms with five and two one half baths.  Every room has a deck.  The kitchen is second to none equipped with top of the line appliances and topped off with a television that rises up out of the island so you can be kept abreast of the news while cooking and entertaining.  The best part is the location.  The house is half of a block from downtown Old Greenwich.  The price is $4.189M.  I wanted to take the opportunity to thank Olivia Just.  She is a reporter from Greenwich Time that when writing an article about a new real estate company moving into Greenwich came across the blog and called for my opinion on the Greenwich Real Estate Market.  You can find the article here; Westchester's Houlihan Lawrence comes to Greenwich.

This week we had 48 new properties and 14 sold properties bringing the total inventory up to 627.  The fall market has officially begun.  The inventory grew for the first time in a while.  Also, we have forty open houses this Sunday.  I have updated the links.  I am keeping the analysis up from last week as it was a holiday weekend with a lot of individuals on vacation:

We have discussed that we had an incredible July.  It looks like August was just as good, if not better.  In August of 2012, there were 77 properties sold, this month we have had 94 properties sell.  That is a 22% growth.  If we take a three month spectrum, we had 252 properties sell in June through August of 2012.  This year we had 315 properties sell, which is a 25% growth.  In my June 7thblog (can be found at www.greenwichrealestateguy.com/blog) we had 716 total properties for sale.  Today we have 611. That is a 15% decrease of inventory in just the past two months.  

So, as one can see the overall market is drastically improving.  The only concern then would be the higher priced market.  When looking at the 94 properties that sold in August we only had four that sold for over $4M.  Year to date, we have only had one property sell for over $10M.  However, we currently have seven properties in Executed Contract with Listing Prices over $10M.  Again, showing that the ultimate luxury market is bouncing back as well.

A friend of mine has started a Greenwich Parent List.  Coming from Park Slope we belonged to a Parents of Twins Group in Brooklyn and a Park Slope parents group.  I found it very informational, a great place to ask advice or find interesting items.  Moving to Greenwich, I wished there was such a site here, and now there is.  Click on the link to check out; Greenwich Parent List.

Properties Sold

This chart says it all in my opinion.  Look at the last five months and you can see the amount of movement compared to other months over the past few years.  The big jump in June of 2011 was due to the changes in transfer taxes.  As well as the big jump in December of 2012 was due to the fiscal cliff.  If you take those two months out, you can see just how amazing of a run we have had over the past five months.  I personally do believe that the end of August is when there is a strain on inventory as a lot of people take their homes off the market while on vacation etc.  I believe we will see a lot of inventory come on the market in the next three weeks.  I am intrigued to see if we get up to that 716 mark we had in June.

 

New Listings

We only had 45 new properties in August.  With, selling 94 properties it was a much needed decline in inventory.  Also, worth noting that it was the lowest August in new inventory in the four years. 

 

 

 

  
Year to Date Soldytdsold083013

 

 We are not seeing a huge change in the percentages of the properties that have sold.  They are staying relatively consistent.  I do see the over $10M market moving off of the 0% over the next month or two. 
 
Year to Date Available

In an effort to define the different markets as a good time to buy or sale I believe one needs to look at the months on average it would take to sell through the inventory we have.  I have broken this down by June of 2012 (which is the high in my opinion) to January of 2013 (the low in my opinion) then will add each month as we come to them.

**to calculate months on average in this chart I used the full year of 2012 sold properties in each price range
 
The numbers we have tracked to decide the months on average have been based on last year's sold numbers.  Now that we have gone through eight months of the year,  about to hit the fall market I feel it is a good time to show the months on average based on year to date information.  This shows the discrepancy of the markets between the upper end and the lower end.  Obviously, the over $10M is skewed as only one property has closed year to date.  Hence, the 272 months on average it would take.   Next month it will come down dramatically.  I will continue to show both charts so you can see the trends compared to earlier months above when using last year's property sold numbers and then you can see the true pace of the market using year to date's numbers.

** to calculate months on average in this chart I used year to date sold properties in each price range.

 


Obviously the months on average were the lowest at the end of the year.  The uncertainty of the fiscal cliff, as well as the election (most properties that closed in December were negotiated before election was finalized), and uncertainty of taxes.  Not to mention if people are going to take their house off of the market they will tend to do it over the holidays.
