New Canaan Real Estate Activity February 16 through March 22


Open House Activity is Heating Up

While the real estate activity was dormant during the month of January, February started to see signs of increased activity while March is promising to be more optimistic than February. Activity at open houses is brisk with lots of interest.
While there were no sales in January, there were 6 closings in New Canaan from February 16 on. In addition, as a better barometer of what is to come, there are 14 contracts pending that have been reported and more that are not reported yet as brokers want to be certain of a firm contract before reporting.

When Will the Recession Be Over?


I walked into Garelick and Herbs the other day and a woman came up to me who had recognized me from my ads. We do not know each other but she asked me "Are we at the bottom yet?" I wish I could have answered her. As I thought about the question for several days, I read The Sunday Opinion page in yesterday's New York Times where 11 experts were asked the question " When will the recession be over"
I thought that the answer that James Grant gave was as good as any other as he relayed a story of a broker responding to a pestering client during the 1974 recession. The broker responded "When you stop asking". He concluded by saying "Today's low prices, painful though they may be, are the market's own shovel-ready stimulus. Before you know it, the stock market, and the residential real estate market, too, will be on their way back up again - just don't ask when."
