We have all heard about New Yorkers flocking to Greenwich since the pandemic began. Most were looking for short term and summer rentals, hoping that by September, Covid-19 would be a thing of the past. Instead, many of those NYC families are now scrambling to find either long term rentals or they are buying homes, often they’re cash deals for quick closings so they can get in before school starts. 

Some say they’ll keep their NYC apartments in hopes of returning one day. Those who can afford to have 2 homes, like the idea of having a country home to escape to anytime they need or want to get out of the city while many are abandoning NYC altogether.

It’s a seller’s market, demand is high yet inventory is low, at times resulting in biding wars as we see home prices climb. 

What about school? I’ve heard a range of plans from enrolling their kids in local public schools or local private schools to keeping their kids enrolled in their NYC schools and driving them into the city 2 days a week until schools shut down again. 

Clients often ask me about the process of enrolling their children in Greenwich Public Schools. You need to be a Greenwich resident before you can register. You’ll also need to provide the following information:

• Child’s birth certificate
• Immunization record
• Two forms of proof of residency

For more details, go to the GPS website: https://www.greenwichschools.org/district-information/registration

The increased demand from NYC families moving to Greenwich and surrounding areas probably won’t slow down soon so if you have been considering selling your home, this is a great time to do so. Reach out to your agent and ask what your house is worth as well as what you need to do to prepare your house for a sale.

In my opinion, as well as that of my colleagues who I have conferred with, this is a good time to list your home for sale as well as a good time to purchase a new home. Prices remain steady while many homes are selling faster than expected during these strange times. All showings must be conducted while wearing a mask and gloves and anyone viewing homes in person, should be a pre-approved buyer. Week after week, the majority of the highlighted numbers below, continue to climb.

The talk amongst my fellow Greenwich real estate agents is that the summer of 2020 is shaping up to be what should have been our spring market. A time of new inventory and higher sales volume, the time of year when Realtors are generally our busiest.

We are still seeing a large number of people who are interested in moving here from New York City and I don’t expect that to slow down anytime soon.

What are some of the most common requests that I’m receiving from buyers today? An updated kitchen and a pool. One of my clients recently sent me her list of requirements to purchase a home and next to “pool” she wrote (non negotiable).

This classic center hall colonial is located in a coveted lakeside Riverside neighborhood, very convenient to the train station, .2 miles, yet not noise impacted. Less than 1 mile from Riverside Elementary School, Eastern Middle School & Riverside Yacht Club. 

On the main level, you’ll find a formal living room w/wood-burning fireplace, dining room, private office/possible 5th bedroom & updated kitchen which is open to a sunny family room. Walk out to a raised deck overlooking a large, private fully fenced yard w/fire-pit area. Side entrance w/mud room, large walk in pantry & updated powder room complete the first floor.

On the 2nd floor, a HUGE, bright master suite w/vaulted ceiling, & attached office/nursery/flex space, 3 additional double bedrooms & 2 full bathrooms. The finished basement contains a spacious playroom, separate laundry room and cedar closet, with additional square footage of usable space. According to FAR calculations, approximately 1,537 sqft can be added to allow for expansion, including a possible 5th bedroom and additional full bath on the first and/or second floors as well as additional living space (subject to permits). A 5th bedroom may also be possible without expanding. This house is absolutely move in ready or you may choose to expand.
