Ok- so we can never have things just the way we want, and there will always be something to complain about... this is what I am talking about:

We have a buyer we've been working with for quite some time and they finally found a house that they both love...so what happens? We toy with the idea of making an offer and I call the listing agent...TOO LATE. The house came on the market last week and has an accepted offer with 2 backup offers behind it. So now... where is this 'slow market' when we need it?? hmm?

On another note, we heard from a client who is selling their house in Darien and thinking of moving to Rowayton... they have come to terms with a buyer and are ready to find something here- this is great news and goes right along with what we've heard- that activity is picking up in Darien. We know that everyone is not getting the prices that they were getting in the last 5 years or so, but we wish that everyone would look on the bright side- you can also BUY something that you might not have been able to afford in the last 5 years!! And these rates are still giving most buyers an opportunity that they may not see again once the rates start to creep up!
We hope you all are enjoying your spring and even though we haven't seen the sun in a few days (and they say we have a few more ahead,) we know it's around the corner and are looking forward to Memorial Day to kick off the summer season!
Take care & as always, if you hear of anyone looking to buy or sell, please let us know! :)
