connecticut: Ice Cream in Newtown, CT - Updated May 2012 - 05/14/12 04:47 PM
.jpg?1331328758)
Ice Cream in Newtown, CT - Updated May 2012 So last night, we were out with friends at Peachwave in Newtown. It's the third time we've been to Peachwave and it's always packed there. Peachwave, if you don't know it's a place to buy frozen yogurt. It's a "do it yourself" place: grab your cup, add your frozen yogurt and then your toppings. Continue down the line to the scale & then pay for the tasty concoction you've made. There's plenty of seating, but parking is a little limited. Where is Peachwave? It's located on Route 25 near the new Walgreens.

Dogs, Horses and Fish - Oh My! Last weekend, the weather was unseasonably warm. Riley, the Real Estate Dog, and Richelle went for a walk here in Newtown.

There is a poorly paved road that goes down the hill past where the new Newtown Dog Pound is being built. It leads to 2 large fields - one has a path around its perimeter with side bordered by Deep Brook which is a Class 1 Wild Trout Stream. It's a very scenic … (2 comments)

connecticut: Recap of Short Sales in Newtown, CT for 2011 - 01/17/12 05:03 PM
Recap of Short Sales in Newtown, CT for 2011 Over the course of 2011, we posted several blog entries about the status of short sales in Newtown, CT. With the advent of the New Year, we thought a recap of this segment of this local real estate market would be in order.
In the table below, we have provided both 2011 and 2010 short sale information for a comparison.
It's interesting to see that the number of sold short sales decreased in 2011 and the number of actively listed short sales increased. The numbers pretty much flip flopped. We attribute this change to buyers being … (1 comments)

Comparison of the Newtown, CT Real Estate Market: 2000 to 2011 People ask us all the time, "How is the market doing". Many people still believe that the real estate market in our town is in a free fall and some believe that their home has not lost any value at all.
We decided to do a comparison of the average sale price, days on market and number of single family homes sold for each year from 2000 to 2011. All information was pulled from the Greater Fairfield County Multiple Listing Service (GFC MLS). Here is what we found:
