The August 2026 Fairfield County Builder's Report is out!

Two things stood out this month. First, we finally have Greenwich in the data, so you can see the county with and without it... and it matters. Without Greenwich, builds fell from 242 to 218 while sales rose from 182 to 201. Add Greenwich back and the production drop is much gentler, because Greenwich is building a lot right now.

Second, and this is the one that concerns me: teardown-rebuilds are down to about one a month across all of Fairfield County. Two years ago we were running four a month. Those tend to be the most desirable builds there are, in established neighborhoods people actually want to move into, and they are getting close to undoable.

The full report also covers the growing gap between four and five bedroom pricing, the two-bedroom 55-and-older gap, and why entry-tier towns are selling over ask at nearly double the rate of the county as a whole.

Know a builder or contractor who would want this? Tag them below... and if you would like the report emailed to you each month, send me a message.

I'll take all the coaching I can get, but I think the word matters. "Coach" comes from stagecoach: bringing someone from point A to point B. A real coach understands where you are and where you want to go, then helps you get down your path, not the one they took. From my conversation on the Real Love podcast.

Sunday morning plans, sorted. The Fairfield Farmers Market is open on Sherman Green from 10 to 2. More than forty vendors set up on the green: six Connecticut farms plus fresh bread, eggs, honey, flowers, prepared food, and locally distilled spirits and cider, with live music on the gazebo to go with it. The concerts have wrapped for the season, but the market runs right through October 11. Bring a tote and come hungry: https://livinginfairfield.com/fairfield-farmers-market/

Someone asked what this career has given me. The honest answer: control over my time. I walk my son home from school every day at 3:30 and get to hear about his day. That's the life this business has let me build, and it's the part I'm most grateful for.

There are 114 residential lots for sale in Fairfield County right now. I run the numbers on every single one of them for one question: does this actually pencil for a builder?

Here's this week's that does.

You acquire the land for under half a million. You get well over three acres. The comps say you build something over 4,000 square feet and sell it well in excess of two million, and not on one lucky sale... multiple closings over the last two years. That's roughly $425 to $450 a square foot in improvement, with land acquisition landing under 20% of your final sale price. Right where a builder wants it to be.

Most of those 114 don't pencil. This one does. I'm looking at all of them so you don't have to.

If you build and you want the address, message me or call. Let's work together.

This week's Highest & Best report... Darien edition.

If you're a buyer heading into the weekend with an offer on the table, this is the math you need to know.

I pulled the data on every Highest & Best closing in Darien over the last 4 months (through July 2026):

• A coin-flip bid sat at +15.36% over asking
• Winning 84% of the time required +25.22% over asking
• The most anyone paid over ask was +37.79%
• 32.89% of these winning offers were all-cash... in Darien, mortgage buyers can compete but the offer has to be structured for it

Just starting your search, or writing an offer this weekend? Either way, comment "Darien" and I'll send you the full Darien Highest & Best breakdown... whether you're bidding now or just getting started.

Congratulations, Nika and Javier!!

A couple of years ago I handed these two the keys to their home in Black Rock. This week I handed them a closing check instead... and we got them over asking on the way out the door.

Guys, you did it again. Thank you both for the trust, every single time. It means the world to me, and you know I'm not done with you yet :)
