Real estate  in Danbury,CT is not just purchases and listings.  As  exprienced real estate professional,  I also have helped a lot of clients lease and secure rental properties.  How is this different?Renting is a less of a renting term commitment. It allows flexibility for the tenant. It can also be helpful if you are coming into the area and want time to shop around. It also requires less money up front. Tenants can also benefit as there may be less competition to rent than to purchase. Renting for landlords can be used for a long-wealth wealth building strategy.  Sometimes landlords also might not have enough time to go from listed to closing, even in today's active resale market. Other landlord clients might not also like the market price of the home. Other landlords just like the i... 05/02/2021

It is very much like the old-west out here in Danbury,CT. Year to date, closed prices are up 18% for single families in Danbury over the same time last year. (2020) Pricing for the townhomes have increased about 6% as well over the same time period. There's been a change of the number of properties sold in the time period as well, about 20% more condos where sold due to increased development at the Rivington Woodlands community and 6% fewer less single family homes.  Across the board, inventory level is very low. It is pretty common to have multiple offers and some homes deposit in under two weeks time, even in the higher end. For sellers, you still need to partner with an exprienced real estate agent with a proven marketing plan, assistance with pricing, negotiating and follow up getti... 04/21/2021
