As we look at November activity before Thanksgiving - first signs of the holiday market show that the demand is slowing and getting tighter. But, with interest rate hikes potentially in the future - is now actually the time to sell? Mark and Russ breakdown why considering selling in Nov/Dec is better than waiting till January. 

Also, we chat with our friends (and show sponsor) Rand Insurance as Meredith Bach (Dir. Marketing) and Paul Mercado (VP, Business Insurance) about everything worth insuring in your house - even down to your fridges! Also as homes become satellite offices and start-up "headquarters" - what you need to think about and what risk you may be exposed too that business insurance and liabilites can cover.

In podcast news, Mark shares the latest in market activity and what the holidays now means for inventory! Thanksgiving brought a windfall of properties sold and what the drop in interest rates and fluctuations on inflation mean in the short term. Russ and Mark also project the “future” of the Greenwich market in the next 6 weeks and whether to sell or to “hold on” through the holidays.

Plus, its nearing winter! Which means home care is imperative especially if you’re getting your property ready for inspection. We chat with Ken Taylor of New England Home Inspections who shares the good, bad and the ugly of one of the hardest and most nail-biting parts of the buying and selling process. Word to the wise – NEVER forgo a home inspection – a trend we saw in 2022.

Greenwich has always been an anomaly in the enclave of the greater tri-state area - often less price sensitive, continual demand and constant desire for Greenwich's Gold Coast. This week we talk about the "big market shifts" and what may make this one different given rising inflation, interest rate volatility and what a true fall market really looks like. 

Plus, this week special guest Jason Wilson Senior Managing Director of Compass Westchester and Connecticut. Jason offers a picture of the Westchester market with volumes down and value up and it's contrast to the Fairfield County market (where Greenwich is located). Also he shares what a true "post-COVID" market looks like especially as trends from COVID still persist. When that shift will happen, how it will effect buyers in the most sought after towns outside of NYC and what buyers should pay attention to given the short term economic outlook.

The market may be in flux but the real estate market continues to ebb and flow against the changing seasonal market. Inventory is FINALLY going up - but does more on the market mean more potential buyers? Mark and Russ talk about the "Greenwich Bubble" and how the Greenwich market is largely immune to the massive shifts in the national housing market and what that means for you if you're still considering selling to capitalize on high valuations.

One of the most integral parts of buying and selling a home is the marketing. Ensuring you have an agent that understands how to get your home in front of the right people at the right time can mean the difference of getting an offer in weeks versus having it as an aged listing for 9+ mos. No one wants a house sale as long as a pregnancy. This week Mark and Russ talk about the “Digital Edge” and why working with brokers that understand the future of real estate is essential to the buying and selling process in 2022. No more flyers! Plus, Tim Agro joins us to talk about the best fishing spots in Greenwich and why some of the best catch is right off the Gold Coast waters.
