Here are current stats for homes on the market

Across the board, only about 9.5% of properties in the Danbury area are distress sales. This means there are some opportunities for investors, yet most buyers will be working with ‘regular’ home owners. Seller also need to keep in mind that their home may be competing against sellers that ‘have to sell’.
