Darien Real Estate Market Report,May 26,2010

 

 

Here is this weeks Darien real estate market report.As has been the case since January,the entry point of up to $1.5 million remains the strongest with most deposits and closings.

My favorite new listings include Circle Road which is a pristine colonial with good bones although it does sit on a relatively busy street.

As always, if you wish to see any of these properties or want a video produced just for you,contact me at kmbrewer2@aol.com.

Wholy Cow! Darien Whole Foods Is Here….

I’ve only been to a  Whole Foods market once before.There is one in Greenwich,Ct and the experience was less than enjoyable. The parking lot was impossible to navigate, the aisles were narrow and crowded and  the prices too high.

Well, that was then and this is now.I can honestly say I have never seen a supermarket like thisnew Whole Foods that opened in Darien last week. It  doesn’t do it justice to describe it as a supermarket or just to tell you that they carry every type of fruit and vegetable you’ve ever seen.

Darien Homes for Sale, $900-$1.5 million Market Report

I’ve written all spring about how this Darien CT real estate market has bounced back -with a vengeance, as they say. This remains the case and houses which are perceived as good value are selling within a weekend. As a result, the town now finds itself in the unenviable postion of having a somewhat thin inventory in some price points.In total, there are  approximately 105 homes on the market in Darien.

There appears to be great demand in the $900-$1.5million range, which is usually the case. There are however, a plethora of buyers out there and not enough desireable properties to fill the demand.Although there are 33 homes on the market in this range,only a few fit the trifecta of good location,good condition and good,open interior spaces.If you’re in this price range,be prepared to comprimise something.

 Hopefully,the spring market will continue with many more listings coming on the market in this price point but, as the summer draws near, traditionally things slow up.We shall see.

Wall Street Journal Heralds Return of the “Teardown”,Darien Homes for Sale

An interesting article in today’s Wall St.Journal is trumpeting the return of the “teardown” in CT.That’s the affectionate term for homes of a certain vintage that are beyond rehab or are located on a parcel that could be otherwise “optimized”. While its true that the market has literally bounced like a rubber ball ,I haven’t seen any local evidence of this so far. It may still take some time for Darien builders to get back in this game. Stay tuned.
