fairfield real estate: Bridgeport Real Estate and Home Sales Update - Feb 2008
- 03/15/08 08:54 AM
Bridgeport Real Estate and Home Sales Update February 2008 The Bridgeport Real Estate slump continues. The City continues to show the effects of the Sub Prime Mortgage crisis that is sweeping the nation. It's Fairfield County location has not offered much protection from the turbulent money market. It is obvious from the numbers that both Unit Sales and Selling Prices are taking a hit. The first two months of the year seem to indicate a declining market - even when compared to the lows of last year. We can only hope that the Fed Reserve action on Interest Rates and the influx of funds … (0 comments)
fairfield real estate: Weston Home Sales and Real Estate Update - Feb 2008
- 03/15/08 08:28 AM
Weston Real Estate and Home Sales Update February 2008 Weston seems to be keeping up with last year's pace. Ten Closed sales may be down from last year but it is ahead of 2006 and one strong month will make up the difference. Prices are running strong too. So while we haven't shot out of the gates like a cannonball, we haven't stumbled either. All eyes turn to the Federal Reserve to see what the lies ahead for interest rates. The lowest priced home was 25 Old Stage Coach Road - a 3 Bedroom Ranch with 2416 SF and 2.33 Acres built in 1955. It … (0 comments)
fairfield real estate: Trumbull Real Estate and Home Values - February 2008 Update
- 03/15/08 07:45 AM
Trumbull Home Sales and Real Estate Update February 2008 Trumbull is following the trend for many of the surrounding towns. This year is running will behind the last two at the start. Two months certainly doesn't tell the entire story. It seems that buyers are staying on the sidelines waiting for the Fed Reserve to finish dropping the interest rates. As long as money is cheaper next month and payments lower, why buy today? Unit Sales are running almost 50% below last year. Prices are down too. This is going to be a lot to make up for in future months if this is … (0 comments)
fairfield real estate: Easton Real Estate and Homes Sales Update Feb 2008
- 03/15/08 07:27 AM
Easton Homes Sales Update February 2008 Well so far Easton is keeping on pace with last year. Both have much stronger starts than 2006 which saw only 5 homes sold in the first two months.

The most expensive home sold was 47 Kaechelle - a 4 Bedroom Colonial with 5890 SF of Living Space on 3.35 Acres built … (0 comments)
The first two months of the year have started off slowly. We are running behind both 2007 and 2006 in Unit Sales. It appears the buyers are staying on the sidelines waiting for more action for the Federal Reserve in lowering interest rates.
Sales prices are running about the same as they did two years ago and that is not a good sign. While there appears to be lots of buyer activity on Internet Searches, Showings and Open House Attendance, this is not yet translating into Sales. So sellers need to be patient and keep their … (0 comments)

fairfield real estate: Home Values in Fairfield's University Area
- 02/18/08 04:16 AM
Fairfield University Area - 2007 Yearend Update The Fairfield University Area and surrounding neighborhoods continue to be a sought after location. This value is driven in part by the good size lots and maze of cul de sacs making for a friendly neighborhood environment. The primary driver is the short drive to the commuter train station located in downtown Fairfield. Fairfield is the last commuter stop on the Metro North line. The trains do go further but the people making the daily run to New York City generally don't like to travel more than the 70 minutes or so it takes from … (0 comments)
fairfield real estate: Best Restaurant Selections - Fairfield, CT Part 3
- 02/17/08 03:20 AM
Sarabande Tucked out of the way on Unquowa Place...between the Train Station and the Post Road, Sarabande has become another Fairfield gem. Friday and Saturday nights are busy -- so reservations are a must. In the warmer months, it features outdoor patio dining. If you are not outside, it can be a little noisey - thanks in part to the tile floor. The bar area is small but functional and you generally don't have to wait long for your table. The menu is excellent. A very good variety and not the same old selections. The daily specials will make you smile and your … (0 comments)

The Greenfield Hill Neighborhood rates as one of the most desirable places to live in Fairfield. While highly desirable Southport has the character and charm of Colonial times, Greenfield Hill has its own special qualities. It comes with a combination of our Colonial Heritage in some of the historic properties along with a sense of Fairfield's agrarian past. This is where the land is. Most homes are situated on 2 or more acres per lot.
While unit sales have dropped a bit in the past two years, both the Median and Average Selling Price haven't … (0 comments)

fairfield real estate: Weston CT Real Estate - January 2008 Update
- 02/13/08 03:26 AM
Weston Real Estate and Home Value - January 2008 Update So far this year, there just hasn't been enough activity to get a real handle on the market. Weston Real Estate finished strong in 2007 up from a slow 2006. This year is off to a slower start than 2006 and that doesn't look good. It is way to easy to change that trend with a strong February or March. When you only sell 150 or so homes in a year, one slow month doesn't hold you back from a good year. The top selling home so far as been 40 Cardinal that … (0 comments)
fairfield real estate: Westport Real Estate Update - January 2008
- 02/12/08 09:11 AM
Westport Real Estate and Home Value YTD Update for 2008 Westport Home Sales started off slow in 2007 and looks like this year is just the same. The first quarter of last year was slow but the 2nd and 3rd quarters picked up steam both in unit sales and in Selling Price. The weather has been exceptionally warm and our typical winter snows have yet to fall. So we can't blame the weather. However, we may be the victim of improving interest rates. With all the talk of the recent Federal Reserve reductions and the anticipation of more, buyers could be holding off … (2 comments)
fairfield real estate: Trumbull Real Estate and Home Values - 2008 Update
- 02/12/08 01:05 AM
Trumbull Real Estate and Home Values - 2008 Update Trumbull Real Estate is off to a slow start for the New Year. Coming off two stable years in Unit Sales and Pricing, 2008 stumbled out of the gate. While you don't want to jump to any conclusions after one month of date, it does make February take on more importance. The drop in Home Sales could be tied to the Federal Reserve's highly publicized cutting of interest rates and the expectation rates will be going lower. Buyers may be waiting on the sidelines not wanting to commit until they are sure of … (0 comments)
