Folks have been asking me if the market’s been picking up, and I have to say YES! Here’s a mini-update on what’s happened with me within the past month or so.
My listing on 113 Charles Street in Fairifield SOLD at the end of May for $500,000. It went for 95% of the asking price to a nice young couple that has joined the beach area. The previous owners moved on to a new job promotion in Boston and new home in South Norwalk.
My listing at 479 South Benson Road, Fairfield also SOLD at the end of May for $750,000 at 94% of list. This was a short sale through Bank of America in which my clients were accepted into BoA’s “Cooperative Short Sale Program”. Believe it or not, I have to say that I was extremely impressed with the bank’s process and efficiency. The entire transaction was managed via the online program called Equator and through educational resources available on the bank’s website. They provided a chart with an overview of the steps in the process and how much time was allotted for each step- and they stuck to it! We closed on time, and my clients moved on with their plans!
Currently under CONTRACT with my buyers, is 921 Kings Highway West in Southport. This is a lovely new construction home that is bank owned with a listing price of $819,900. They can’t wait to move in and enjoy!
Also under CONTRACT with my buyers is 5 Ermine Street in Fairfield’s lovely University area. The asking price is $659,900. The happy couple will be uniting here as they prepare to get married. He is coming here from New York’s Big Apple, and she is coming from New Hampshire. They will be moving to Fairfield in time to enjoy the beaches this summer.
So what’s up and coming, you may ask?
We have an OPEN HOUSE coming up on Sunday June 23rd from 1:00 to 3:00 at 1284 Fairfield Woods Road, Fairfield CT. This is an impeccable and charming home with four bedrooms, two full baths and nearly a third of an acre with completely fenced level yard. Asking price is $459,900. Click the image below for more pic’s and info!
…And COMING SOON to the market is Black Rock Gem, 184 Harborview Ave, to be listed at $324,000. 
Stay tuned for more….
So, you can say that things are definitely moving out there! Let me know if you are ready to move on with your plans. As always, I’m here to help! -Linda
The Fairfield Beach Area will soon be welcoming a very excited young family!
Relocating here from North Carolina, the wife is working in Wilton and the husband is the new branch manager for a bank on Black Rock Turnpike. Only Ken was present for the closing yesterday while Jenn was off to Belgium on business, but they will be together again shortly with their two little ones and nearby relatives.
This happy family can’t wait to enjoy their gorgeous new home on Cummings Avenue and to meet their new neighbors this spring! 
One might think that in the wake of the storm and with the approach of the holidays, the Fairfield beach area real estate market might be sluggish.
Not if the open house activity at a new beach area listing last Sunday was any indication! A colonial farm house on Charles Street (see photo) had 17 buyer groups and one agent come for a look! The home is on the market for $525,000 and located about a half a mile from town and a mile from the beach.
Another sign of market strength in the beach area is the reduced months of inventory. This October there were just 10 months worth of homes for sale compared to last October when there were 23 months worth. Months of inventory is calculated based on the number of active listings and the average rate of sales during the prior recent months. Fewer months of inventory suggests that properties are selling and the market is healthier.
Last but not least, the median (midpoint) sale price of single family homes in the beach area has been rising since the low of $605,000 in 2010. It reached $750,000 this year in October, approaching the 2007 level (see attached chart). This shows that homes have been selling across a good range of price points, and it may even suggest that home values could be improving!
So there you have some positive real estate news to be grateful for this Thanksgiving! Feel free to contact me any time to talk about your real estate questions and moving plans, 203-912-4440, linda.raymond@raveis.com. – Linda
