Real Estate Market Snapshot for Darien, Westport & Fairfield

What is happening in your area and what are the buyers up to?

So the answer to the question “How is the Real Estate market?” - Busy, very busy!

Other noteworthy trends :

Buyers continue to look for homes that are new, updated or very well maintained. They continue to choose condition as the number one priority, even over location in many instances.

Buyers continue to choose “shopping the internet” and attending open houses on their own before calling agents to make appointments to see homes.

While frustrating for home sellers and agents alike, this is the buyer mind set. This makes the marketing and online presentation of your home much more important than it has ever been. The inventory is high, so you must be strategic in your presentation. As a seller, you don’t want to get deleted from the buyers search based on poor marketing message or photography etc. Pre-market preparation and staging is crucial to selling your home for the most money the market will bear.
