The county
Twenty-three towns, very different prices.
Fairfield County stretches from the Long Island Sound shoreline of Greenwich, Darien and Westport up through Wilton, Weston, Redding and Ridgefield to Danbury and Candlewood Lake in the north. The county median of $820,000 sits between very different markets: $419,000 in Bridgeport and $488,000 in Stratford, against $2,827,500 in New Canaan and $2,900,000 in Darien.
Most towns were brisk. More than half of all houses sold above the list price, and Darien’s median time on market was 11 days.
Denise was born in Westchester and moved to Wilton. She lives on Singer Island and is frequently in New York and Connecticut to work with clients. For Fairfield County owners weighing a sale at home against a purchase in Florida, she times the two so neither one waits on the other.
