  • At the end of February in Greater Greenwich there were 98 homes in contract vs. 115 a year ago, a 15% decline.
  • Greenwich South of the Parkway is the ONLY market area showing an increase in contract activity with a gain of 54%: 40 homes in contract at end of February vs. 26 a year ago.
  • The biggest decline in contract activity is Greenwich North of the Parkway where we see a 63% drop year over year: 7 vs. 19 a year ago.
  • Riverside is unchanged.
  • Old Greenwich is down 25%
  • Greenwich South of the Post Road is down 35%
  • Cos Cob is down 11%

Market conditions in the region remain consistent with how 2021 ended. Strong demand and limited inventory making it opportune time to sell here - provided you have a place to go! Interesting to note that the 156 active single-family homes on the market today have been on for an average of 225 days. The 54 homes that are pending were on just 167 days - on average - before going to contract. This remains a sign that there is pricing resistance in the market by buyers who are a scared of "overpaying".
