📊 Market Monday: 44%

That’s how many homes in Fairfield County sold over asking this month. Back in June, it was 64%.

Homes are also taking longer to sell: about 32 days now, up from 19.

👉 Buyers: not every house is a bidding war anymore. You may have time to think and room to negotiate.
👉 Sellers: there are still only about 2 months of homes for sale. Price it right and it still sells. Price it too high and it sits.

Buyers and sellers, are you feeling the shift out there, or does it still feel like a bidding war? Tell me below 👇

If you’re buying with an FHA loan in Fairfield County, I know the feeling. You find the house, you make an offer… and you lose it to cash. Again.

Here’s why: in a home’s first week on the market, only about 2 out of every 100 sales go to FHA buyers.

But here’s the good news. The homes FHA buyers actually won had been on the market about 35 days. Cash buyers? About 18.

So stop chasing every new listing. The homes that have been sitting are where FHA buyers win.

FHA buyers, have you lost a house to a cash offer? Tell me below. 👇

This week's number: 49 📉

That's how many days a brand-new condo in Fairfield County is taking to sell — almost 3x longer than condos built between 1985 and 2014 (18 days). Same price range: $450K–$1.2M.

Here's why: the premium is already in the asking price. Even when a new condo sells right at asking, buyers are paying about 23% more per square foot than for an older condo in the same town. There's nothing left to bid up.

Meanwhile, more than half of the older condos sold OVER asking.

🏠 Selling an older condo? You're the value play — price it right and buyers will compete.
🏗️ Buying new? You're paying for "new." Make sure it's worth it to you.

New build or proven complex — which would YOU pick? 👇

JUST SOLD: 34 Deepwood Lane, Norwalk CT — $450,000. Proud to have represented the buyer.

Value-add homes in Fairfield County don't sit around long. The investors who win are the ones who can move quickly and know what a property is really worth after the work is done.

I'm Ed Villeda with William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty. I've spent 27+ years helping investors find and close on opportunities like this one.

Quick real estate riddle: which Fairfield County town do you think has homes sitting on the market the longest right now? Most people guess the expensive ones.

They'd be wrong.

Darien — the single most expensive town in the county, with a median sale price closing in on three million dollars — is actually selling faster than anywhere else. Median time on market: just 10 days.

I'm Ed Villeda, and this pattern holds up across the whole county, not just Darien. New Canaan is at 14 days. My own market, Stamford, sits right at the county average of 20. Greenwich and Westport are both around three weeks. But head toward the more affordable towns and it flips: Danbury is sitting at 29 days, and the slowest town in the entire county is Sherman, at 41.5 days — more than four times Darien's pace.

The takeaway: if you're a buyer hoping for a slower market and some room to negotiate, the luxury towns are the last place you'll find it right now. They're the most competitive corner of the county, not the sleepiest.

Which Fairfield County town are you watching right now? Let me know in the comments.

Just sold. 🔑 227 Sylvan Street, Bridgeport CT — $399,900.

Bought at $225K. Transformed. Sold at $399,900. 📈

That’s a flip done right: buy right, put in the work, price it for the market. Bridgeport is full of opportunity for investors who know where to look.

Another flip across the finish line. Bought at $225,000, transformed, and sold for $399,900. That's what happens when you buy right, put in the work, and price it for the market.

Behind every "sold" sign is a plan: knowing what to buy, what to fix, and exactly where to list it. I don't come to my clients with problems, I come with solutions.

I'll have more Bridgeport flips like this coming — the opportunity here is real for investors who know where to look.

If you were flipping a home, what's the first room you'd put your money into — kitchen, baths, or curb appeal? Drop your take below. 👇

Testimonial Thursday

The deal isn't done until it's done.

"Ed has been the model of patience during a difficult closing process. He was diligent during the selling process as a couple of early buyers dropped out. He's great to work with." — Sylvia Winchell, Home Seller, Fairfield County

Deals fall apart. Buyers get cold feet, financing falls through, timelines blow up. What matters isn't avoiding those moments — it's staying diligent and steady until the closing actually happens.

Ever had a deal nearly fall apart before it finally closed? What got you through it?

Active listings in Fairfield County are sitting a median 65 days on
the market right now. Homes that actually SOLD this year? Just 20.

I’m Ed Villeda, your Fairfield County real estate agent, and that gap
isn’t the whole market slowing down — it’s pricing. Homes priced right
are still moving in about 3 weeks no matter the price point. It’s
specifically the pricier listings still sitting that are dragging that
average up past 80 days.

Translation: if a home’s been sitting for months, that’s leverage.
Sellers, price it like the fast movers from day one. Buyers, a stale
listing is your negotiating chip.
