This should be interesting – 41 Meadow Wood listed this week for $12M may find it tough to get a buyer since 45 Meadow Wood is now in pending status with a list of $6,750,000. I just wrote about the latter because it is so beautiful and the price reduction versus the value was noteworthy
So Here is 41 – 4.7 acres and 8 car garage – specific style as we say – translated: Limited audience
When the sellers bought it for $6M in 2006 it was a 4600SF+ charming colonial with stone walls,wisteria and then turned into what you see today – double the square footage and they would like to see a double in their investment…time will tell – I say, not a chance especially given that 45 Meadow Wood is in contract with a list of $6,750,000
41 Meadow Wood Dr – Good Luck With This One
And here is 45 – and it does have a pool although the listing does not state this:
45 Meadow Wood Dr – in Pending Status – List $6,750,000
Then in contract yesterday….
11 Meadowcroft Lane – In Contract $6,950,000 – Now offered with 3.26 Acres
This property has been on the market since 2012 – offered with 5.91 at the high of $14,500,000. It was then offered as it is packaged today with 3.26 acres for $8,800,000 with no price reductions – it expired. Brought back to market as the first package of 5.91 acres for $12,900,000 – same realtor (I need just a small percentage of this kind of love) It was finally given to another realtor where it has been on market since January – starting at $7,800,000 and then reduced to $6,950,000 just under where the town has set it appraised value. So much time wasted and clearly could have been avoided…
The motto – if it looks too good to be true, it probably is…if you’re the seller or the buyer.
The art of the deal transcends all businesses, and more so in real estate than in many other professions. For the client, it's often an emotional purchase or sale, rather than a simple commodity or luxury item. I make it my mission to have each side come to terms with a transaction that works for everyone. It's not always easy, but good things in life usually take effort - something from which I've never shied.
Licensed since 2009 as a real estate sales agent in CT & NY, I often work with clients on the border of both areas.
With sales and distribution experience for luxury designer products, and watching/reacting to the markets, my acumen for sales was established. Achieving success and contributing to the growth of many global apparel designer brands, such as Giorgio Armani and Paul Smith for over 20 years, it was time for a change. I wanted to explore another passion that would keep me in one location rather than traveling the globe.
Now I have the best of both worlds, a successful business as a fulfilling personal life. My husband and I have lived in back country Greenwich since 2003, where we enjoy easy access to great biking, hiking and golf. We love to ski and that's usually where our travel takes us.
Life is good in Greenwich!
