Greenwich CT Real Estate | Market Stats Feb 2012

MarketStatsGFP_Feb12

We just lowered the price of 42 Bote by $650,000! Open house this Sunday (Feb 26th) from noon to 4pm.

This article in the Greenwich Time is getting a lot of press amongst the Greenwich real estate/realtor world. Some think it is written too optimistically (buyers) and some say it’s too negative (realtors). Although I’m a Greenwich realtor, I agree that we should proceed “cautiously optimistic”ly…

I just uploaded some new pictures of my real estate listing in Greenwich CT at 42 Bote. Enjoy!

Greenwich CT Real Estate | Scott Elwell

There has been some talk about Greenwich houses that have been categorized by the MLS as AOCTS (Accepted Offer Continue to Show) being re-listed as Available, which means that they had an accepted offer, but didn’t pan out. Some take this as a bad sign noting that something must have gone wrong with the transaction and assume that the buyer pulled out. The thing is that this happens all the time in real estate regardless of the market. Things happen all the time (inspections, mortgage, etc..). We might be noticing it a bit more now as the Greenwich MLS (multiple listing service) has created a new category requiring us to post when an accepted offer occurs. Deals fall apart all the time between when the buyers and seller come to an agreement and when contracts are signed. This has little to do with the economy and state of the market.  It just happens. Buyers get skittish, inspections pull up concerns, mortgages fall apart, anything can happen.

Since we don’t have binders in the Greenwich real estate market, there is nothing holding a buyer legally to a purchase until a contract is signed, which makes it very easy for someone to bid on a property without locking themselves down to a 100% commitment.

To add onto my last post, we have had some activity in the Greenwich CT Real Estate market in the past week.  Over the past 10 days, 31 houses have either gone into contract or have an “accepted offer” on them.  This is a significant level of movement in the market, though I am not ready to call all of my clients and tell them that they need to come on out before everything is gone.

The reason that I am skeptical about this uptick in activity is that it is just that, a quick uptick in activity. We are now in February and the weather has been nice, so those that are thinking of a spring market purchase might just be poking their heads out early. This is normal and happens in Greenwich real estate nearly every year.  If we close out February with some solid numbers I may start to get a little bit more excited.

The second reason I’m cautiously optimistic about the uptick in activity in the Greenwich real estate market is because a lot of this activity is under “accepted offers,” which is still a long way away from a contract and then a closing.  An accepted offer just means that the seller agrees with the buyer on the price the house should close at. The next step involves the buyer doing inspections, getting financing, working with their attorney on contracts and more. There are a million things that could go wrong and often do.

In the longterm, I see the market coming up, but I have no clue how long that will take. We are in an election year and pending any major news I feel we will be bouncing around this floor for awhile. That being said, it will be spring soon and family real estate in Greenwich, Cos Cob, North Mianus, Old Greenwich and Riverside will sell because families move and want to be in before the next school year.
