Almost all of the condominium projects listed here  in the Danbury,CT area have been completed and sold out & either occupied by the owners or an occasional upper market renter. Yet I am contacted by buyers that ask if there any model open and when are their hours for viewings. To start with, I do not work onsite at any area condominium development. and can't just drop everything to make a showing.More than often, if any listings that are for sale in your chosen or preferred community or communities, sellers need to notice to prepare their home for showings. There are rarely vacant properties. We need appropriate time in advance to set up showings. There is also certain things that we have to discuss before we even get to the point of setting up an appointment. We need to diagnosis your...

A wish to the weary of buying a home. Proceed with caution, because of one of these days in the future, you're gonna need to sell your home whether you think you're never going to be moving or not. If you're not selective, you could be in for difficult sale. Things like layout, location, site or whatever you can dramatically effect the resaleabilty for your property.  For example, sometimes when I see a property get reported into the MLS as sold, I think to myself the buyer might have walked in to instant negative equity after evaluating the property.  Or in some cases, it looks like the buyer got a really good deal and will be doing OK to bring the home up to the values in the area if they invest in some paint & new carpeting.So how I advise buyer clients on making the right decision f...

As a long time resident of Danbury,CT, there are several things that come to mind when discussing local attractions: The Danbury Mall, Richter Golf Course, Candlewood Lake, the Charles Ives Center, Western Connecticut State University and the Danbury Train Museum. Yet, the biggest hidden secret in Danbury is Tarrywille Park. Located just 1 mile from downtown, the city purchased the property from the Parks family in 1985, initially purchasing 535 acres of meadows, ponds, forests and mountains. Over the twenty years, abutting land was subquently pruchased bringing the total to over 700 acres, which is equal to about one square mile of protected open space.You can view the trail map here.  My personal favorite hike in the all of the trails there is from the red barn center, up to the water...

 Our real estate office has been experienced multiple offers on several of our newly listed properties in the Greater Danbury & Candlewood Lake region of Connecticut. I've heard properties getting 5 & 10 offers over the first weekend for homes listed between $275,000 & $325,000 in Danbury,CT. Colleagues have told me 10 showings in a property between $450,000-$525,000 in the King Street district of Danbury.  In certain price ranges, there are just no homes available for buyers to purchase. There is pent up buyer demand for quality homes that are priced for the market. Due to our strong marketing plan & advising our seller clients, we are getting homes sold quickly for top dollar with little to no stress for our clients. There are several things that contribute to this success. The factor...

If you haven't noticed, Danbury has changed a lot over the last thirty years. No longer is this city in the shadows of Northern Fairfield county. The population has grown an estimated 29% since 1980, with the current population at just shy of 85,000 per census. Below is a chart of homes that were built in a given time period. Year Single Family Condo 2 & 3 Family 1980-1985 517 1939 51 1986-1991 438 724 52 1992-1997 333 404 24 1998-2003 524 996 28 2004-2009 199 1210 29 2010-2015 69 425 5 2016+ 0 28 0 Information per CMLS tax data database, 3/5/2017, accurate but not guaranteed.If you take all of that information and average it out, it means each year approximately 216 new homes were built, excluding apartment complexes. I really don't think that growth rate is going to continue to due la...

I'm under obligation to disclosure any material fact. For example, I arrived to show a property about 10 minutes before the my clients arrived. The sellers were going to be home. I introduce myself and give them my busineess card as their request. They start talking and say that can't really can't take the weather up here much and can't wait to close on their new home out of the area. I have an obligation to disclose that to the buyers, as they may be able to secure a better deal on the home.

The average person moves once every 7 years. A lot of changes in the real estate buying and selling process might have happened. Your personal transaction history may be different than from what I see day in and day out practicing.  Things that might have been the common place when you last bought moved may not be the common place like today, such as doing a dye test to evaluate the septic system and have their building inspector perform a complete well-recovery test.  These days, buyers hire a licensed septic company to evaluate the septic system, open up and the tank & check the fields and run water tin the house to see how it works. Inspectors do a general evaluation of the well, and if they identify any possible issues, they recommend buyers hire a well specialist.  I am not aware o...

Homes on the western side of Danbury often are in demand. Due to the proximity to the New York State Line, highways, shopping & services, this has a created an environment . It is not just all built up. Once you get off Mill Plain Road, Lake Avenue or Backus Avenue, it is typically residential areas with homes generally sited on 1+ acre lots.  Once you are into those neighborhoods, you can't tell you are that close to all the conveniences that you need. I would generally describe homes in the Western Danbury area to be found in this highlighted map.  It is not just a place here there is shopping and fine dining. The Richter Golf Course is found here which consistently ranks as one of the top rated public golf courses in the country. There are cultural opportunities including the Charles...

I get an a lot of requests from people that are looking for a rental. Keep in mind, a lot of the properties that you see listed online my website are typically for sale with an occasional rental. I don't get an ongoing notice of properties that will be coming available ahead of time in several months. I am only aware of what is currently offered through the multiple listing service. Very few if any properties with an agent would consider a short term rentals or a month a month.It it standard pratice by most landlords to do a credit check, collect information about employment, salary as well as contact information for your current landlord. It is an active market for rentals. On average between 2010-2016, on average 609 properties were leased.; that works out to about 12 new leases being...

One of my past clients is now affiliated with my office here in Danbury,CT. Unannounced to me, she is was an agent in the New York City, as I dealt with her husband only when I represented them on their purchase.  She is still active in New York, and I finding out a lot more information about the real estate market there than I knew before.For example, they used to rent in very close to Morningside Park. A one bedroom in an Avalon complex that starts at $3800 per month for a 1 bedroom that is about 800 square feet. A very similar property in Danbury for a one bedroom would go for about $1350 at most.  In addition, I recently helped a growing family relocate to the area from the southern end of Queens. They told me their mortgage & property taxes for their new 4 bedroom home on an acre i...
