I pulled the numbers on Fairfield County home sales for this week's market update, and one stat stood out enough that I had to make a video about it.

A year ago, fewer than half of single-family homes in this county sold for more than the asking price. Today, that number is 68% — more than two out of every three.

I'm seeing it play out with buyers every week: multiple offers, escalation clauses, homes going under contract in days. Part of the reason is simple — there's only about six weeks' worth of homes on the market right now, which is extremely tight.

If you've been house hunting lately, I'd guess you've felt this firsthand. If you're thinking about buying or selling in this environment, it's worth having a real conversation about strategy before you're in the middle of a bidding war.

Curious what you're all seeing out there — have you lost a bid to a higher offer recently, or been surprised by what your own home could sell for? Let me know in the comments.

Testimonial Thursday

For investors, speed is everything.

"Working with Ed was fantastic — they found renters for my property in record time and handled all screening professionally. I couldn't be happier with the results." — Maria Salcedo, Investor

A vacant investment property is money leaving your pocket every single day it sits empty. Fast, thorough tenant placement isn't a nice-to-have — it's the difference between a good year and a great one.

Own a rental in Fairfield County? What's been your biggest headache finding good tenants?

Just sold. 🔑 34 Crescent Street, Stamford CT — $275,000, plus a $10,000 seller’s concession.

Listed at $285K. Sold under ask. AND a $10K concession to the buyer. In this market. 😮

Here’s the secret: these deals are usually the homes that need a little TLC. Not fully updated — and that’s the opportunity. Get in at the right price, put in the work, and build equity fast. The move-in-ready listings get bid up. The ones with potential are where the smart money goes.

Would you take on a home that needs work to build equity, or only move-in-ready? Tell me below. 👇

Just sold! 🔑 34 Crescent Street, Stamford CT — closed at $275,000, with a $10,000 seller’s concession on top.

Let that sink in. Listed at $285,000, sold under ask, AND a $10K concession to the buyer — in this market? That’s almost unheard of right now.

So how do these deals happen? They’re usually the homes that need a little TLC. Not fully updated, maybe a little dated — and that’s exactly the opportunity. A home like this lets a buyer get in at the right price and build equity fast by putting in the work over time. The polished, move-in-ready listings get bid up. The ones with potential? That’s where the smart money goes.

I don’t come to my clients with problems, I come with solutions.

Closed. 🔑 44 Cerretta Street — $425,000.

Two years with this client. We looked a year ago, made offer after offer, and when they didn’t land, she took a break — and I never once pushed her to overpay just to win.

Then we found it: a 2-bed, 1.5-bath townhouse, one-car garage plus two extra spaces, oversized rooms, huge walkout lower level, low common charges, minutes from her work. This time we got aggressive — and got her offer accepted. 🙌

Patience and strategy beat panic every time.

House-hunting right now — move fast, or hold out for the right fit? Tell me below. 👇

This one’s special. I worked with this client for over two years. We looked a year ago, made offer after offer, and when they didn’t get accepted, she took a break. Here’s the part I’m proud of: I never once pushed her to throw crazy money at a house. That’s not how I protect my clients — I’d rather wait for the right one than watch someone overpay.

And the right one came. A 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath townhouse with a one-car garage plus two extra parking spaces, oversized rooms, a great layout, a huge walkout lower level, low common charges — and just minutes from her work. This time we got aggressive, and we got her offer accepted.

Patience and strategy beat panic every time. I don’t come to my clients with problems, I come with solutions.

If you’re house-hunting right now: would you rather move fast and risk overpaying, or hold out for the right fit? Tell me below. 👇

Closed! 🔑 11 Bell Street, Bridgeport CT — sold for $360,000.

This one needed a full rehab from top to bottom, and after months of effort, my seller was rewarded. Another flip across the finish line — from gut job to keys.

Behind every “closed” sign is work most people never see: strategy, negotiation, and protecting the deal from day one. I don’t come to my clients with problems, I come with solutions.

Next week I’ll break down the numbers — rehab costs, the final profit, the whole story. 📊

What’s the one thing you think makes or breaks a flip — the reno, the pricing, or the timing? Drop your take below. 👇

Co-ops in Fairfield County are sitting on the market almost twice as long as condos right now — 36 days versus 19.

Why? Financing. Co-op boards often cap your debt-to-income ratio as low as 28%, while a typical loan can go up to 55%. That shrinks the buyer pool fast.

Good news if your numbers work: fewer qualified buyers means less competition and a better shot at getting your offer accepted — without the bidding wars condos are seeing right now.

Would you consider a co-op if it meant skipping the bidding war? Tell me in the comments.
