Column: Greenwich Real Estate Inventory – How Low Can We Go

Higher interest rates and anemic stock and bond markets are clearly hurting sales, but a lack of new listings is an equal, if not greater factor, in our sales being down 34% from last year.In Greenwich much of our lower inventory is due to gridlock. Many people who would like to buy a house can’t find anything to buy. Most of our buyers don’t use mortgage financing and the higher you go in price the less mortgage financing you see. Above $4 million, you do see people buying higher priced houses with low-rate mortgages, to free up cash for other investments.

Column: Greenwich Houses Sales by School District – April vs Feb 2023

The last two months have certainly been better than the first two months of the year. Our January and February sales were well below average with only 45 single family home sales compared to a 10-year, pre-Covid average of 66 sales. In March and April, we had 80 sales, or 35 more sales than we had in the first two months. Now, these 80 sales for March and April were still slightly below our 10-year average for these months of 85 sales, but much better, after what had been a scary start to the year.
