A

I am excited to announce a new listing I have put on with Beverely Toepke – 15 Deer Park Meadow Road. This property offers some fantastic opportunities for anyone looking to move into the private community Deer Park, in Greenwich, CT. This property is being sold with an “as is” house to either be completed (plans for remodeling are available) or built as new construction.

Encompassing a total of 1.5 acres (in 1 acre zoning) a new home of apx 8,800 sqft could provide the perfect estate for a family looking to live privately and close to downtown Greenwich.  Since the lot is flat, a  full lower level (not counting towards the 8,800 sqft) could provide some great additional space for a play room, movie theatre, wine cellar, gym and much more.

The existing 1927 colonial comprises of over 6,400 sqft of space with 8 bedrooms and 5 full (and 1 half) bathrooms and a 3 car garage.  Plans are in place to complete the renovation, though a new owner has the ability to customize however they wish.  In addition, there currently sits a fantastic in ground heated pool surrounded by flag stoned decking and a wrought iron fence .

Residential Real Estate Bids Adieu To October 2013

As an odd October 2013 draws to a close, the real estate market is among the industry sectors quite happy to see it over. WIth interest ratesImage may be NSFW.

creeping upward since summer, August and September indicators were already pointing at home financing slowing to a crawl through the second half of the year. On the heels of pending U.S. home sales slowing in August and a 5.6% drop in the sales pipeline in September, the government shuttered its doors. As the full moon rose over a nation back to work on the third Thursday in October, we are all looking for equilibrium, or at least some very good clues for the winter.

Schizophrenic indicators

In September 2012, Trulia announced it would discontinue itshousing barometer in its current form introduced 18 months earlier to track housing market recovery. Citing conflicting data in taking the temperature of key market indicators, the doctor has gone into consultation this autumn. “Tracking the recovery’s progress as a single number is not the best approach anymore,” said Jed Kolko, chief economist at Trulia. While experts struggle to define the new normal, the patient continues to show schizophrenic behavior. Unable to shine a clear light on a confirmed diagnosis, it seems everyone has gone shoppingImage may be NSFW.

First, the good newsImage may be NSFW.

No one is shouting good news from the rooftops, but the news is far from all bad. In analyzing the best and the worst of the housing bust, Trulia says we’re two-thirds of the way toward full recovery. However, the National Association of Realtors points at the government shutdown as a new key indicator for October, sure to have a knock-on effect. With IRS offices closed, delays in tax transcripts needed for approval of mortgage loans ground to a standstill. Not only were government and contract workers left sitting it out, but also overall consumer confidence “curbs major expenditures such as home purchases,” said Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist. Meantime, the question remains the same: what about prices? Funny enough, the government shutdown did not seem to affect asking prices negatively in the first half of October, according to Trulia.

Location, location, location

A San Francisco Bay Area-based realtor with Coldwell Banker, Susan Hewitt underscored the topsy-turvy conditions found in the current housing recovery. Hewitt noted, “There really is no such thing as a national response to the very local question on everyone’s mind: should I buy or should I sell?” Through three generations in thefamilyImage may be NSFW.

 business, Hewitt has seen lots of ups and downs, but at the moment she cites location as being more pertinent than ever. “We see micro-sized pockets of double-digit price rises with competitive bidding situations happening next to depressed markets just one county over.”

While the old thermometers point to a flat remaining couple of months in 2013, we trust that those shopping for the new thermometers will bring them to market very quickly so that we can properly take the temperature for the 2014 housing market outlook.

The Most Expensive Home In The U.S. Is In Greenwich, C.T. (VIDEO)

The Huffington Post  |  By Posted: 05/21/2013 3:18 pm EDT

We recently rounded up ten homes from across the country that are on the market for over $100 million and we’re still reeling from the thought of these palatial estates. So, you can imagine our shock when we came across this new listing for the most expensive home in the U.S. — a Greenwich, CT mansion worth a whopping $190 million.

At over 13,000-square-feet, Copper Beech Farm is on 50 waterfront acres with stunning views of the Long Island Sound. The 1,800-foot private driveway leads to not only the twelve-bedroom French Renaissance home, but a 75-foot outdoor pool, a grass tennis court, wine cellar and a private apple orchard. The waterfront property is currently used as a weekend retreat by its owners. We can only imagine what their main home must look like — the White House, perhaps?

Built in 1896, the home has been owned by the Greenway family (which developed U.S. Steel with Andrew Carnegie) and more recently by timber tycoon John Rudey.David Ogilvy, the listing agent, told Forbes that, “the $190 million list price is based on numerous comparables for the area, having crunched the average sales prices per acre for close to a dozen nearby properties — none of which offer even close to the same amount of acreage.”

But perhaps the most surprising aspect of this listing is the fact that it includes — wait for it — two offshore islands.

Watch the video above to check out the estate, and let us know if you are swooning too.

My manager asked me to participate in a video project for Sotheby’s International Realty –  I figured I’d give it a try.  Not sure how I feel about being in front of a camera –  I think I’ll keep my day job as a realtor…

Value in a real estate domain

I am asked frequently how I got hold of GreenwichCT.com as everyone assumes it was registered ages ago. They are right, it was registered a long time ago right when domains were starting to be used up. I purchased the domain from someone in california that had bought it as an investment and was “sitting on it” earning money from people clicking to generic links about Greenwich CT. This domain was not inexpensive and cost a lot of money, though I feel that it was well worth it to me as it has helped to kick my brand as a Greenwich CT Realtor.

Google says that they don’t place much value on the terms in your domain, though my site, which I have been working on for only a couple years, places on the first page for almost all Greenwich ct real estate search terms. Yes, I feel that this is due to a ton of hard work in posting and building up a site containing original content on my market, but I also feel that the domain itself has had a ton to do with the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) placement.  I believe that paying up for a domain is a wise investment, but only if you are getting the absolute best domain name in your market. A AAA+ domain like GreenwichCT.com in a town where the town’s own website is GreenwichCT.org can be a huge factor in getting your site up and running. I also own GreenwichCTRealEstate.com, which I plan on using in the coming months.

Paying up for an A- (or lower) domain domain might not help you in the search results, so I wouldn’t recommend going crazy. There are plenty of good domains (your name for example) that might be available to grab or buy on a site like Sedo.com for a decent price.

Greenwich CT Real Estate Agency Shake Up 2013/2014

Houlihan Lawrence just celebrated their 1 year anniversary  in Greenwich and what a year it has been (for them and all of us involved in Greenwich Real Estate). Over the past year, I have moved from Greenwich Fine Properties to Sotheby’s International Realty, Greenwich Fine Properties and Round Hill Partners were bought out by Coldwell Banker, and Douglas Elliman hired Jean Ruggiero signaling their entrance into Greenwich, though they don’t really have a full blown office here yet. I still wouldn’t count them out, they are coming…

Most importantly of all, I partnered with three fantastic agents (Lyn Stevens, Beverley Toepke and Robin Kencel) to created The Fieldstone Group of Sotheby’s International Realty, though this post isn’t about that. This is about the real estate agency shake up in Greenwich, Connecticut.

I can’t tell you how many conversations I have had about big agencies (Houlihan Lawrence and Douglas Elliman) coming to Greenwich and small agencies (Greenwich Fine Properties and Round Hill Partners) being bought out (by Coldwell Banker). Houlihan Lawrence made the gigantic splash a year ago starting off day one with some top tier Greenwich agents, who happen to cover the entire town, not just high end central Greenwich, but Old Greenwich, Riverside, Cos Cob, Glenville, Byram, North Mianus, etc…. Houlihan picked well and have, in turn, done very well. Coldwell Banker also did a great job in acquiring Greenwich Fine Properties and Round Hill Partners, which gave them not only a slew of new savvy agents, but also a fantastic new office location on Mason Street.

Agents of all levels of experience and success have been moving offices and have been worried about those that are moving offices. They have been worried about those new agencies coming into town guns a blazing and those that are closing up shop.  At first I was excited and saw lots of areas to be concerned and lots of areas to grow from. The I realized one thing, while Greenwich has seen some pretty serious real estate money come into town, we (the agents) haven’t seen any new competition, we are still competing against the same agents…. the competition and worry really should be for the owners of these shops, not the agents themselves.

The agencies should worry. Greenwich now has some pretty serious hitters in town which cover the gambit from large shops like Sotheby’s International Realty, Coldwell Banker, Houlihan Lawrence, Douglas Elliman and Berkshire Hathaway though the mid-sized and smaller shops like Real Living, David Ogilvy, William Raveis, Weichert, Anderson Associates, New England Land, and now Brad Hvolbeck & Associates. It’s a big town, so I’m not going to say we are way too saturated with agencies and agents (though it does feel like nearly everyone has their license at times), but it is pretty obvious that competition is stiff and there isn’t much room for coasting.
