There are a number of Greenwich, CT real estate bloggers out there today. Some are famous, some are infamous, and others are trying to get noticed. I don't know exactly where I stand in the crowd, but the intent of my blog is simply to present the facts---I figure most of you are smart enough to draw your own conclusions.
This approach is based on my past journalism college courses taken 100 years ago. Once upon a time, journalists were revered for presenting the true facts without "spin." Just the who, what, when, where and how info. Those where the days, my friend! I find most of the journalists/bloggers today all too busy wondering how they look on camera and how their expose will benefit the author, not the subject matter. You won't find me revealing the names of buyers or their addresses. There is such a thing as respect for one's privacy and frankly, I won't put someone's family in peril by disclosing their new address as some other bloggers have recently done.
So here's my thought for today---it's one of those wordy math problems about if the train is traveling 30 miles an hour and Chicago is 300 miles west of....
If there are 883 properties for sale in Greenwich, CT today and year to date in 2009, there have been a total of 36 closings and tnow 30 homes are under contract, how many years will it take to sell the current inventory at the current rate of sale?
Answer: Just over 3 years, if no other homes come on the market!
