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.

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