  Playing Hooky At The Beach .... In March…..In CT!   In CT we are blessed with being on Long Island Sound, which is a haven for beaches, swimming, boating, water sports, and fishing. Usually, we can’t enjoy all of the above until the weather is a lot warmer and the water temperature is NOT in the 40s, like it is now.   However, today, and the next few days, we are enjoying some unusually warm weather in the 60s.  I had some business down by the water today and decided to play a little hooky and steal away to the beach... specifically Jennings Beach and Penfield Beach in Fairfield CT.  I was not surprised to see quite a few others enjoying the weather, walking, sunbathing, and having picnic lunches.  Oh, I wish it could just get progressively warmer from this point on so we can actually... 03/12/2012

Another scorcher here in Fairfield CT.  And the humidity is back, making it a perfect day to sit in the office and pore through statistics and market data. There are currently 89 listings classified as "Fairfield Beach Area" by the local MLS - my work focus is typically on the pure Fairfield waterfront properties - of which there are maybe 18 that qualify (meaning they are on Long Island Sound or Pine Creek near the Sound .) For today's discussion, I am not including any Sasco Creek or Southport properties - those I will cover later in the month. The Fairfield Beach properties range in price from $ 580,000 for a bungalow (generally used as a Student Rental for Fairfield University students) in the college section to $ 3.0 million for a 3500 square foot waterfront contemporary. In betwee... 08/11/2010
