Greenwich Real Estate Guy's Blog: September 11th Open House List and Q2 Market Report

The Greenwich Real Estate Guy's Blog: September 11th Open House List
A weekly analysis brought to you by Greenwich Real Estate Guy.

 

 

It is that time of year again. The temperature is changing. The leaves are starting to fall. Most importantly, the Raiders start their season :)
Here is a link to the Q2 Greenwich Market Report. Please see below for comments on the 2nd Quarter in Greenwich from our CEO Liz Nunan:
Summer in Greenwich, Connecticut is when our town truly shines. Town beaches and parks are open for relaxation, fitness, and adventure. The ferries to Great Captain Island and Island Beach make their way into and out of Greenwich Harbor. Our town-owned golf course and tennis courts inspire players to chase their next ace! It’s also prime outdoor dining season here, adding a festive atmosphere to all who visit Greenwich Avenue. As we closed out the second quarter, the real estate market in Greenwich remained upbeat with significant buyer interest and continued limited inventory. But rising mortgage rates and a turbulent stock market gave buyers a reason to tap the brakes and seek greater value in their home buying than we’ve seen in the last two years. Proper initial pricing remains a key to achieving a strong selling price. And while Greenwich home sales are down 40% compared to a record-setting 2021, it’s worth noting that our yearto-date sales exceed those from the previous eight years. Prices remain strong while the time it takes to sell a home here continues to contract. Our neighborhood breakdown shows that homes sold in Q2 in Cos Cob closed - on average - nearly 4% over the asking price, which was the strongest in town. Selling prices in Old Greenwich, Riverside, Mid-Country Greenwich, and along the water in Central Greenwich also sold at a premium to the asking price in the quarter. The only geography that sold at a discount to the asking price was North of the Parkway in Greenwich. We are grateful for the Greenwich community, our world-class agents, and our support staff for helping Houlihan Lawrence remain the #1 real estate brokerage serving Greenwich, Connecticut for seven and half years. Thank you, and we hope you enjoy the rest of the summer! 
With Warm Regards, 
Liz Nunan President and CEO

Greenwich Real Estate Guy's Blog: July 31st Open House List

The Greenwich Real Estate Guy's Blog: July 31st Open House List
A weekly analysis brought to you by Greenwich Real Estate Guy.

 

Pictured above is 123 Riverside Avenue. This house has five bedrooms with four full baths and one half bath. It is listed as 3,938 s.f. and sits on .54 of an acre. The price is $1.895M and the open house is from 1-4 p.m.

Friends. The below article is from a few weeks ago. However, I felt it was pertinent and thought the payment increase on the same loan was a powerful statistic. Also, since Lawrence Yun is the Chief Economist for the National Association of Realtors, felt his opinion was important to share.
Instant Reaction: Interest Rates, June 15, 2022
June 15, 2022
Today's announcement by the Federal Reserve set a big increase in interest rates and means several more rounds of rate hikes are on the way in upcoming months. So far, the short-term fed funds rate that the Fed directly controls has risen by 175 basis points. But the 30-year fixed rate mortgage has risen even more – by nearly 300 basis points. On the same $300,000 mortgage, the monthly payment has risen from $1265 in December to $1800 today. That's painful and, consequently, will shrink the buyer pool.
Home sales have recently been trending down towards 2019 figures. Sales could fall even further with some inventory sitting on the market for more than a month like in the pre-pandemic days. Pricing a listed home properly will, therefore, be the key to attracting buyers. In the meantime, rental demand will strengthen along with rents. Only when consumer price inflation tops out and starts to fall will mortgage rates stabilize or even decline a bit. That is why providing additional oil supplies will be critical in containing consumer prices and interest rates.

The Greenwich Real Estate Guy's Blog: July 10th Open House List
A weekly analysis brought to you by Greenwich Real Estate Guy.

 

Pictured above is one of the many delights that Bella Cucina and Express Pizza made for over three decades in Greenwich. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic and lack of the lunch business with so many working from home they have had to close their doors. Here is an article on the Greenwich Time: Express Pizza Closes. Frank was not only an incredible cook but a genuine friend. He would always welcome us with a smile. We enjoyed the food immensely but the conversation and smiles is what we will miss the most. Friends of the family have set up a gofund me page as well: Greco Family
