Celebrating the end of summer. It was the end of a long holiday weekend, the Labor Day weekend, but I had to work all day and at the end, I just wanted to celebrate the end of summer with my husband in a special way.  All our favorite haunts were closed.  Most of the area restaurants were closed due to a combination of the holiday and falling on a Monday, so what to do?  I figured a hotel would have to be open on holidays and Mondays, so we decided to check out the rather pricey, but fabulous Artisan Restaurant at the Delamar Hotel in Southport, CT. Artisan decribes itself as "a farm to table restaurant and tavern combining 18th century classic Scandinavian design with New England inspired seasonal cuisine. Artisan celebrates the theme of craftsmanship, which can be seen in many element...

When shopping for homes in this market, there are alot of really great deals to be had...or ARE they MONEY PITS waiting to happen!!!??? Especially if house has been vacant for awhile. I kind of pride myself for being able to assess a home from the OUTSIDE never taking a step inside... But when I do get to look around inside, the first thing I check is WHAT GOT WET!!! One of the biggest things I'm on the watch for is ANY WATER INTRUSION!!! Water in the Basement...or water markings...This is the first sign I look for when thinking about purchasing a home to know if I'm going to get in over my head... Also be sure to check:      Grade outside of home. Will water be diverted away from home, or directly into basement? Is shrubbery away from side of home, is there excessive shade on a particu...

The last two years have not been kind to Southport Real Estate.   21 Homes sold so far this year....down 22% from last year and down 54% from 2007. Median price is up 6% over last year but down 16% from 2007. The increase over last year may be just a function of too few homes being sold.   Avg Selling Price is off 11% from last year and a whopping 46% from 2007. The Average Price in 2007 was $1,790,685. Southport is a great example of the current problem in the Real Estate market. Simply, it is a lack of buyers. Southport is a very desirable and prestigious location.  It is Fairfield's town within the town.  The harbor area is as beautiful as ever.  There are plenty of homes for sale at some very good prices. Mortage Money is available and being offered at some very good interest rates....

Thanks President Obama for the $8000, I mean $7200 credit for first time buyers! Just how close is Massachusetts or New York or even New Jersey for that matter? Can I commute from there to work in Stamford? CT has created Bill #6397 which is to tax buyers 1% and it is scheduled to go into effect July 1, 2009. Our sellers have a hard enough time understanding the conveyance tax...now a buyer purchase tax...for waterfront land, brownfields, and conservation? There are other restrictions but, the idea is clear...money needed and buyers are a nice target! I just keep thinking of my credit perfect client that didn't have much of a down payment (they produced 5% and took out 2 mortgages as recently as 2/14/09) At least he had a little money after the closing to have the kitchen carpet  (25 yr...
