The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission will hold a public meeting on Monday, September 24, 2007 at 6:00 pm at the New Fairfield High School for residents to voice their concerns about the new Shoreline Management Plan. The Candlewood Lake Shoreline Management Plan has been set and will charge fees to lakeside residents in New Fairfield, Danbury, Brookfield, New Milford and Sherman for docks and any buildings/patios on the shoreline.  These charges will be in place even though some residents actually own the land to the shoreline. The public is encouraged to attend this meeting to voice their concerns and learn more about the Shoreline Management Plan.   Don Fabrizio-Garcia, REALTORConnecticut Real Estate & AppraisalsCT Home GroupKeller Williams CT Realty203.746.1199Connecticut Real Es...

You will find in this report the number of units sold (SF) in August 2007 and a comparison of the sales reported in the same month one year ago.You will also see the difference between Listing Price and Selling Price showing the bargain power of buyers these days.Single Family Homes in the price range of $200k - $300K, a segment usually covered by First Time buyers showed an average Listing Price went actually up (7.45%). However, the difference between the Listing Price and the Selling Price was the largest: 14.23%. In other words, buyers closed for less than 14% of the asking price. [Please note than the fact there were only 11 units, if one or two of them suffered a drastic price reduction, these reductions will impact the average in a more dramatic way.]For homes sold in the price r...

 I detected some inconsistencies in my table prepared on Aug. 19, so I am only re-posting the section I could rely.Sorry!!!As I have said in other posts, not all markets and price segments behave the same. You can see that while the number of available Condos in the price range of $250K - $350K has slightly increased from 93 to 98, the number of Single Family homes in the range $450K - $550K has decreased from 56 to 41 in 10 days. Now, it doesn't mean those 15 homes were sold. Some may have been withdrawn from the market, or their listings may have been cancelled or expired. I am not sure if these tables will help but I will continue to do it for a couple of months, together with a table showing sales per month.Any ideas?I will run the model again on Sep.30 to see what trend Danbury is ...

This is the report showing sales in the last 30 days in Danbury. I will compare these figures with sales recorded until the last day of the month, next week.I have divided the sold properties in price ranges as usual. You can compare these results with those presented by Stamford and Norwalk.

  I am including our current inventory for Danbury. You will see how active properties are distributed among different price ranges, as well as the average number of days in the market.I expect to be able to repeat the same analisys in a couple of weeks to follow up on how this inventory is changing. This will be complemented with a new table showing sales at the end of the month.

Before commenting on how the market is doing, I suggest watching your specific market.I chose Danbury and the period of Jun.01.07 - Jul.31.07 and compared the market to the same period one year ago.What you can see is that you can't generalize. Market behavior depends on the type of dwelling (Single Family, Multi Family, and Condo), and also on the price range..In the first graphic you will see that while Single Family homes between $200K and $300K showed a difference between Listing Price and Selling Price in Jun-Jul 2007 of 3.01% while the difference in 2006 was 5.29%!!! One of the reasons is that prices were over-heated last year and that they are "more adjusted" now. So sellers are listing their homes according to the current market reality.Another result I want to comment on is tha...

WASHINGTON - The prices of existing and new homes are expected to bounce back next year after a dreary 2007, a real estate trade group said Wednesday.The National Association of Realtors also said it expects existing-home sales to rise to nearly 6.4 million in 2008, up from the 2007 estimate of more than 6.1 million. Nearly 6.5 million existing homes were sold in 2006, the association said.As for new homes, sales are projected at 865,000 in 2007 and 878,000 next year, but the 2008 projection would still be down more than 20 percent compared with the nearly 1.1 million new homes sold in 2006.Source: Associated Press-----------------------------------------------------The main reason?The law of supply and demand.

These three towns, as in most of the country, are showing a reduced number of SOLD properties compared to one year ago. That's not new news. As we all know, the Real Estate market is cyclical as it is the economy, politics, the seasons...., and in  it is about LOCATION. As you well know, it's about the address, and some towns saw their real estate prices going higher and earlier than others a couple of years ago. Some towns have reduced (normalized) their prices earlier than others: We can see that in Stamford, there have been 41.70% less SOLD Single Family properties between Jan.10 and July 10 this year than one year ago during the same period. Stamford is the only town/city of the three compared here that shows an increase in Sale Price in Condominiums (+0.84%), while Danbury is the o...

Untitled Document <!-- body { background-color: #EDFCFE; } body,td,th { color: #666666; } -->   I thought I would share this with you. I am sure in your local market you always have a big store or a school hosting free events, training, gatherings. It’s an interesting way to get known by local organizations you like and ultimately to meet neighbors and become a good source of local information for your market. I want to share with you what Stew Leonard's, a large produce, dairy and bakery store is offering in my town. Stew Leonard’s is one of my favorite places to shop. A brief notice on who they are, and then the program of Gardening Workshops held in Norwalk and Danbury, CT and Yonkers, NY. It's a great opportunity to get to know neighbors who, like in this particular case, are in...
