Buyers Market?
Yes and I sold my home in one day at full price!
Yes it's true! I've been wanting to move for the longest time but my youngest child was in the wrong school district. Now he is in the right one in highschool. I watched a neighbors house sell in three days with multiple offers and then watched another similar home have the same thing happen. So I hopped to it. Got the best stager to help me get my home ready. I priced my home at the bottom of the competition, no brainer for no ego. And it worked!
If you want to move up and are realistic, now is the time!!! If you price your home right, it will sell. The reality is that we have lots of buyers in the market. They are circling, know the market and they will pounce when they see the right deal. And so will you for what you want to buy. For the first time in years the disparity in moving up is at it's lowest! You might be selling lower but you will buying lower too likely.
Do you know what your home is worth? Call me for a no obligation market opinion. Want to view all available properites in your search area? Go to www.homesoffairfieldcounty.com .

Green is the new movement. Why? Global warming awareness is on the move and rightly so. As much as we all are trying to be more aware, we continue to contribute to pollution just by the pure fact of our population. The Green movement in building is growing and responds in so many ways to living in a clean and pure environment while contributing to restoring nature's balance.
LEED certification is now a major mover in this cause. Building projects must go through a rigid point system to achieve a certification status which is offered at different levels. Previously, this has been mostly focused on commercial projects but is now moving into residential.
I will be writing more about this process but for now want to tell you about Connecticut's first Green certified residential developement. Located in North Stamford on the NY/Greenwich border are 74 pristine acres, (25 of which being donated to the Land Trust) with 24 English Garden style homes in construction. This exclusive, gated community offers 4 different models of homes that offer an amazing array of customization. You can select home theatres, gyms, wine cellars, elevators, custom gardens and so much more. All with green in mind including optional geothermal heating and cooling systems.
Every home shares in the exclusive club house created only for these homes. A million dollar in house resort with club house, pool and tennis at the sole use of these homeowners only. And all of these homes share pristine waterviews of the lakes and ponds on the property.
This is a one of a kind developement just being unveiled now. The model home is complete and private tours are now available. Call me for details at 203-324-9600 or email me at vmll@kw.com .

No matter what the condition of the housing market, purchasing a home is a major commitment and a vital financial decision. A home is much more than a financial investment; it is an investment in a new lifestyle and a new way of looking at property. Those who are unprepared to make the leap from renting to home ownership can make some costly mistakes, and learning to avoid those blunders is vital. 
The key to selling a home is getting the buyer's attention, and persuading them to think, "This is a home I would love to live in!" The feeling you get when you see a beautiful home on television or in a magazine-that's the feeling you want to inspire in your prospective buyers. 
Floors are the forgotten workhouses in a home. They take a lot of abuse, stand up to wear and tear and withstand a variety of products and cleaning. When it is time to replace or upgrade the floors, stylish and eco-friendly options exist for every room of the house. 
Dealing with household clutter can be a constant task, but the need to organize everything from seasonal clothing to kitchen spices is vital for the overall running of the home. While some households appear to tackle clutter better than others, every homeowner can benefit from clutter busters that help keep this and that in their proper place around the house. 
According to Zillow.com, there is a growing trend of smaller, less expensive homes appreciating faster than larger, costlier homes. In a culture that values the ostentatious display of wealth, it may seem counter-culture to accept that idea. What are some reasons that someone would opt for buying a smaller home, rather than a larger one?
