Condo vs. Single Family Home Sales Trends In Fairfield County CT 2010- Feb. 2012
The condominium and single family home sales in Fairfield County have basically kept an even steady keel throughout the last two years, except for the period of the tax credit in the beginning of 2010. That explains the jump in May and June of 2010. Except for that period of time, the condominium and single family home sales are pretty similar from one year to the next.

As you can see from the graph, Westport CT has been slightly quicker to gain momentum this year. We had a few tough months last fall with severe storms, but that has not affected the sales totals for the first two months of this year. It will be very interesting to see if the trends are to bring those numbers up even more as we move into the spring market.

Fun Ideas For Painting! Blackboard? - 02/25/12 08:32 PM

Why do we keep losing our lists, and why can't anyone find the notes we leave them? There have been a plethora of houses lately with special paint on the walls in certain rooms. One had blackboard paint on a child's wall - how cool is that? Another had metallic paint under the chalkboard paint, so magnets would stick, AND you could write notes, lists, and reminders... That was on a kitchen wall as you came in … (17 comments)

The saving grace for yearly sales for 2010 was the buyers' credits that were being given in the first half of the year.

We had Hurricane Irene in the beginning of September, and a very heavy wet huge snow storm in the beginning of November, both of them bringing down trees everywhere and providing the area with power outages for a week and more for most people. Not very conducive to an active real estate market place, eh?

Do You Write Press Releases? Do They Work For You? I just wrote a press release about my participation in the Facebook group for Veterans, as I would like to spread the word out there in the county.
