The activity in the market seems to be picking up this year but it has not been reflected in closed sales yet. Buyers are cautiously looking and taking their time before signing on the dotted line. With the stimulus incentive of up to $8000 for first time home buyers they seem to be the majority of the "lookers" and will need to purchase before December 1st to qualify for the $8000 credit.

The weather turned out to be great for the Parade this year. Sights and sounds were similar to past years but I thought I caught a glimpse of AR's own Beth Forbes but she turned away before I could snap a confirmation photo. My wife came along this year so we just found a little piece of ground and watched for awhile. Usually I prefer to move around and take in the less noticed sights so instead of dwelling on the marchers I'll revisit the more interesting adventure from a previous year.
Upon my arrival the smell of beer and cigarettes was thick as was the crowd, maybe 10 feet wide with a few watching the parade and others attempting to travel in both directions. The push was slow. My next half hour was spent flowing north squeezed into a sea of college girls & Gen-X'ers. Guess with people my age the logical side of the brain usually wins so they avoid the crowd.
About mid-block fists started flying and an opening suddenly emerged, lucky me...eye to eye with the big guy! His wife or girlfriend had hold of his shirt as he thrashed around trying to break loose, I started pounding his upper arm with an open hand yelling mellow out dude...he turned, grabbed his woman and started screaming in her face. For a few seconds I was paralyzed in thought, grabbing this guy now would surely escalate the situation. Fortunately he settled down as the push and screams from behind me started moving the crowd forward again. Reflecting back it dawned on my how ill prepared I was for action, I was wearing glasses! They could have broke...
Funny how times have changed, when I reached the mellow area I notice I was surrounded by what once may have been considered "Outlaw Bikers". All hanging in harmony - Hells Angels, James Gang, Hole in the Wall, Brothers of The Rock, the general population and Dan The Running Man
After the isolated outburst I witnessed upon arriving the afternoon was quite civilized. Never did meet up with my son though, his cell went right into voice mail and I was stepping into the parking garage after the parade when he returned my call. Just as well, gave me a chance to watch as a silent observer and enabled me to get several photos I may have missed.

Home sales in my primary market along the Connecticut Shoreline have continued to slide. Winter has been harsh giving us double the average annual snowfall and the media is filling the airwaves with negative reports of gloomy conditions.
People constantly hear of the skyrocketing foreclosures rate and buyers seem reluctant to purchase homes. A report today by TransUnion puts the Mortgage Loan Delinquency Rates in perspective. Nationally the mortgages that are 60 days or more past due stands at 4.58%, a higher number then past years but not huge since over 95% of the people are keeping up with their payments.
If you are considering purchasing a home and plan to be there for a number of years this may be the best opportunity in ages. Prices have come down and rates are still low, first time home buyers have the added incentive of the Stimulus Plan.

In the Real Estate Business here in New England March 1st is kind of the unofficial start of our Spring Market but as I backed out of my driveway this morning signs of spring were pretty well hidden. Winter has been hanging on this year and has dumped double the average annual snowfall on us.
Another sign of spring from a runner's viewpoint is the WPLR ShamRock & Roll 5k. Since 99.1 has been my station of choice dating back to the mid 70's it makes sense to participate in the event each year. Back in the day I'd typically hit Toad's Place in New Haven after eight on a Saturday night, now the only time I make an appearance is a little after eight on a Sunday morning in March.
Just over two years ago when I started blogging my results at the WPLR ShamRock & Roll 5k offered a perfect opportunity to share my running buddy's secret to speed improvement.
If you are looking for a fun run mark your calender for March 8th this year. The race starts and 9:00am and Toad's should have the beer flowing shortly thereafter.
Recently I took a trip to run the Miami Marathon and the first person I met upon arriving in Miami Beach was Janie Coffey of Papillon Real Estate. Janie came out for a few hours and introduced us to the unique atmosphere of the Lincoln Road area where we spent quite a bit of time during our stay on South Beach.
During our dinner discussion we learned that the Miami area although currently depressed offers a great opportunity for anyone with vision that is considering relocating into the area. This year the New England Winter seems exceptionally long and the thought of a warmer climate crosses many minds. If you are thinking of retirement or relocating to Southern Florida in the next few years it might be wise to contact Janie Coffey and accelerate your plan to pick up a home at today's discount prices. Well established homeowners with a few more years of work might discover it makes sense to buy now with the depressed real estate prices and historically low rates instead of waiting until after they retire.
In addition to residential home sales in the Miami area Janie Coffey is well known in the Equestrian Community so if you require a unique parcel for your horses Janie is the one to call.

Welcome to my personal profile page. This site offers an interactive opportunity to learn more about the Connecticut Shoreline Real Estate market and me. My blog postings offer a variety of subjects from personal interests to real estate tips.
As you can see by the photo's my latest endeavor includes running. This started in the fall of 2005 as casual dinner conversation with friends and evolved into a year round hobby. In 2007 my goal was to finish a Half Marathon so in June I ran the Fairfield Half. As 2008 started my goal was undefined but one of the first pieces of mail I received was from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society inviting me to learn more about their Team in Training. At the information session I joined their team as a fundraiser and runner completing the 26.2 mile Rock-n-Roll Marathon in June. 2009 started with my third marathon in Miami and I am continuing my work with TNT as a mentor and will push myself to the next level in January 2010 at Disney's Goofy Challenge. That event involves running a Half Marathon on Saturday morning then getting up Sunday morning to complete a Full for total of 39.3 miles.
Professionally my career included 25 years in an Engineering & Manufacturing environment before joining my wife in Real Estate. We now work as the CummingsTeam of William Raveis Real Estate. With us you receive a blended perspective of life in New Haven County.
My Half Marathon training coupled with being a lifelong resident of the Greater New Haven area gives me the stamina to cover a wide range of towns. Primarily I concentrate on the shoreline towns of Branford, Guilford and Madison plus North Branford and North Haven.
The five towns noted about provide a demographic that will meet the need of most clients. If someone prefers a less suburban setting I am very familiar with the cities of New Haven, East Haven & West Haven to help find the right home.
You can search homes for sale by clicking the town below. For more comprehensive information just drop me an email of phone call with your criteria and I will provide custom results.

" Recently my wife and I sold our home of sixteen years using your company as our realtor. The agent was Daniel Cummings out of your Guilford office. Dan was the agent for both the sale side and purchase side of our new home.
I wanted to let you know how pleased we were with the professional manner that Mr. Cummings exhibited throughout the entire process. His work ethic is to be commended, and his gentle, yet assertive nature should be used as a role model for all realtors.
My wife and I did meet a few other realtors at showings, and we were both amazed at the difference between them and Dan Cummings. Dan was always prompt, neatly dressed, honest, and put our best interest first. He is a credit to your profession.
I hope you will recongnize this man's dedication and commitment to your firm. He is someone whose excellent work should not go unnoticed. "
