This week's Lowball Offer report... Stamford edition.

Found a home you love but you know it's overpriced? I pulled every Stamford home that sold under asking in the last 120 days:

• Go 6.7% under and 16% of sellers still said yes
• An offer 3.4% under ask would have won half of them
• Stay within 1.3% under and 84% of them said yes
• 57 homes sold under ask, up from 33 the 120 days before

If you're about to write an offer on an overpriced listing, this is the data you wish you had first.

Comment "Stamford" and I'll send you the full breakdown.

Introducing a new series: the Lowball Offer report. Fairfield (06824) edition.

Credit where it's due... this one was my wife's idea. I do the Highest & Best videos on homes that sell OVER asking, and she asked the obvious question: what about the ones that sell UNDER?

So I pulled every 06824 home that sold under asking in the last 120 days:

• An offer 4.0% under ask would have won half of them
• Go 10.8% under and 16% of sellers still said yes
• The deepest accepted offer was 18.4% under asking
• 42 homes sold under ask, up from 23 the 120 days before

If you've found a home you love but you know it's overpriced, this is the data you wish you had before writing the offer.

Comment "06824" and I'll send you the full breakdown.

This week's Highest & Best report... Wilton 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 Wilton over the last 4 months (through October 2026):

• A coin-flip bid sat at +8.6% over asking
• Winning 84% of the time required +20.1% over asking
• The most anyone paid over ask was +32.7%
• 28.6% of these winning offers were all-cash... in Wilton, 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 "Wilton" and I'll send you the full Wilton Highest & Best breakdown... whether you're bidding now or just getting started.

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

If you look at the county as a whole, new construction looks flat. 259 homes produced over the last year against 276 the year before, 217 sold against 219, and price per square foot holding at about $513.

But our county is really three markets stacked on top of each other, and they are moving in different directions. In the four premium towns (Greenwich, New Canaan, Darien and Westport) production jumped from 77 homes to 96 while sales slipped from 76 to 70. Everywhere else it is the opposite... production fell from 199 to 163 while demand held steady. Entry-tier towns are now selling 46% of their new construction over ask.

The full report also covers the 7+ bedroom size gap, teardown-rebuilds falling to just 14 in a year, and the price lines I use to separate the tiers (and what happens when a mid-tier town gets priced like a premium one).

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

• The most anyone paid over ask was +35.12%
• 39.22% of these winning offers were all-cash... in Westport, mortgage buyers can compete but the offer has to be structured for it

Without Greenwich, Fairfield County production fell from 242 homes to 218 while sales climbed from 182 to 201. Add Greenwich back and the picture changes.

Builds go 266 to 249, a much gentler slope, because Greenwich is producing heavily right now. This is the first month I have been able to show the county both ways, and the difference is worth seeing.

Just listed for rent in Fairfield... 149 Knapps Highway, Unit 149, at $2,950 a month.

It comes fully furnished, and not in the way that usually means. The owner is a working artist, and her original pieces stay on the walls. That is why it photographs like a home instead of somewhere to sleep for a while. You could show up on a Friday with a suitcase and be properly settled by Saturday. No truck, no mattress delivery window, nothing to assemble with a tiny metal wrench.

It is a second floor end unit facing south, so light runs through it all day rather than for one nice hour in the afternoon. 1 and a half baths, utilities included except electric, and real room to spread out. Looking for a 12 month lease or longer.

If you know someone relocating into Fairfield County, in between houses, or mid renovation and needing somewhere civilized to land, this one is worth passing along.

Four-bedroom new construction is at $410 a square foot. Five-bedrooms are at $613.

A year ago that spread was $80. It is now $200. And it is not the market repricing bedrooms... builders quietly stopped putting four-bedroom product in the premium towns, so the four-bedroom average now measures mid and entry-tier towns almost exclusively.

Century 21 AllPoints named me a Top Performance Award winner for August, out of the Stamford office. Thank you!!

An award like this isn't really about me... it's a tally of the people who trusted me with a move this summer. Buyers who wrote offers in a market that gave them very little room, sellers who let me price their home honestly, and the builders and past clients who keep sending folks my way. That is the whole business, right there.

Grateful for all of you. On to the fall market :)
