“July’s performance was consistent with 2015. Looking forward, there are currently 96 single-family homes under contract in the Town of Greenwich. August is typically a quiet month for closings; therefore many of those under contract will likely close in September to kick off the fall market. Of the 96 currently under contract, six of those properties are priced over $5million, while 41 of the listings were priced under $1.5million. Year-to-date there are 5% fewer sales compared to 2015 yet the dollar volume of sales is down 13%. Demand continues to be strong across the Town for properties under $2million in good condition,” stated Joann Erb, 2016 President of the Greenwich Association of Realtors.
