2) Create a DIY Photo Booth! Create your own themed frame with a hula hoop and some craft supplies, add some props, and let your guests create some serious history!
3) Try a “More is More” Centerpiece! Make an impressive centerpiece using a grouping of small pretty vintage or themed pieces like a creamer, sugar bowl, shot glasses, or apothecary bottles, and fill them with fresh blooms from your own garden.

Like the majority of homeowners right now, you are sitting tight even though you would prefer to be living somewhere else. Yet your current home no longer meets your needs or desires. You have hopes and dreams about a new home but, you don’t see a path for how to make it happen.
What if a path and a plan could be created?
My clients have done a variety of things. I’ll share a few of their stories to get the juices flowing! Those serious about finding their new home have been able to find it. Some bought a new home before they sold. Some found their next home during the process of selling their current one. Others sold their house and created an interim plan of temporary housing and storage, (okay, not convenient, but if you ask them now, they will tell you it was worth it 100 times over!). And my most recent seller cashed out and followed her long-time dream of traveling overseas for six months before returning to shop for her new home. So there are many ideas, options, and solutions.
Everyone who’s selling knows exactly where they’re going, right?
Here’s an interesting observation I made after going on the broker tour in Fairfield last week. Click the image below to listen!
Okay, I might have some options on where to go, but there are more things to consider.
I know there are concerns about interest rates, high prices, and inflation. Take a look at this post for some additional insights from the experts. Once you feel you are ready to make a purchase, here are the key steps to consider.
I am prepared to discuss your plans and how to get you there. Call me today for a no-obligation consultation.
Where did the market go in November? The Westport and Fairfield town-wide sales pace in November, though below that of last November 2020 coming off the Covid spike, was still above that of 2019. Inventory dipped below two-months of supply in Fairfield and stayed at three months of supply in Westport. Low inventory continued to be the most significant limiting factor, and multiple-offers were still happening with many listings. The median sale price in Fairfield was 12% below November 2020 numbers and was up 25% in Westport. Days on market averaged 49 days in Fairfield and 63 in Westport.
Purchasing a home now can award instant equity in addition to exponential savings over the life of a mortgage if home values continue to appreciate and rates begin to creep up as projected by economic experts. Waiting until next year to buy a home could result in a more expensive purchase. Homeowners that sell now can benefit from a larger buyer pool than next year when homes will be more costly for buyers if interest rates increase. Sellers have much less competition in the winter months than during the spring market, and buyers in the winter are very serious.
If you are like many others who want to sell but are still on the fence, this winter still offers an excellent opportunity to make your move. Interest rates and inventory are still low, and buyer demand is still extremely strong. You are right to seek an expert guide to help you put your strategy in place to reach your goal! Call me today to discuss your plans ==> (203) 912-4440.
