Greenwich Residential Real Estate Blog and Analysis: July 11

Shared by Greenwich Real Estate Guy

Dear Greenwich

When I lived in California, my wife had a business trip to NYC. I tagged along and met a friend of mine that lived in New York, for my first trip to Madison Square Garden. At that point living in California for my whole life, I had always wanted to see a Knicks game at MSG.

In March of 2003, my buddy and I went and saw the Knicks play the Bucks. Allan Houston put on a show and scored 50 points. Twelve years later I still remember the night and look back on it as one of the great sports experiences I have witnessed. This past week I had the privilege of touring the above pictured home owned by Allan Houston located at 17 Cowdray Park Drive. The house boasts 19,387 s.f. and sits in the exclusive Conyer Farms community. The 10.29 acres sit adjacent to the Conyers Lake, with easy access for swimming, canning, playing etc. The home itself has 26 rooms with six bedrooms and ten baths. The amenities do not stop, there is a trophy room, a lower level with a basketball court, and a gym. There is a heated pool, sauna, and spa. Off of the side of the house is a tee box, with a putting green down below it, with a sand trap adjacent to the green.

The estate is currently listed for $19.9M.

Thank you to all of the new subscribers as of late. Above is the featured property I choose each week. Below are monthly reports, a link to set up your own queries and searches, charts and graphs on what I feel are the most important gauges of the market, and the open house list with links for Sundays. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you would like to view the featured property, or any other properties. Also, I would be happy to give an evaluation of your house, or run any analysis for you.

I am still working on the analysis of the 2nd quarter. However, it was a very positive quarter, and will have the details next week. Here is the link to the 1st Quarter Market Report my firm puts out for your review.

I have invested in my own MLS Search for my readers. This will give access to a lot of the listing information I have. Also, if I have already set you up with your personal portal, you will now be able to search your own searches outside of what I set up for you. Feel free to test out and search properties. I feel the best attribute is that you can save your own search and choose to get alerts as new properties come on to the market, properties are sold, or change in price. All specific to your customized search. Hence, you will speed up your learning curve, becoming an expert in the specific market you care about.

Please let me know if you would like me to provide customized information or statistics for you based on your criteria.

Properties Sold

We had a great May with 91 properties close. That matched 2013 as the highest May in the last several years.

New Listings

We had 181 new properties listed in Greenwich in May which is impressive and outdid April of this year, which we rarely see. We will see if the demand is there to help push the market into the Spring.

Year to Date Sold

As mentioned in the first section this past month was a really good month based on the numbers. We had a lot of inventory hit the market but it is in the right price ranges. The biggest jump was the $500K to $1M and the $2M-$3M ranges. We also had a great May in regards to closed properties.
