Each individual condo owner decides what their home is worth for the market. They get this information from a number of sources. They consider what they purchased the home for, any costs for renovations or improvements, their cost for selling their home, what their mortgage payoff is among other factors. Your Danbury,CT home seller also is generally advised on the overall market in town, their neighborhood as well as overall price catergory. They see what their neighbors have listed and sold their homes for and should be pretty knowledgeable on how their home compares with the others. When a seller is considering moving on, it is important to take in all of the factors and more. Owners should be realistic for the market, as not to overprice so the property lingers on the Danbury,CT townhome market but also not priced too low so they could be leaving equity behind. In my exprience, I don't think most sellers would be pricing their home too low in order to get a bidding war.

As a knowledge real estate expert serving the Greater Danbury Connecticut area since 2006, Jonathan Hall with William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty knows the market well to help both prospective home sellers and buyers.  It can be difficult to understand the market if you haven't moved in a while or have not monitored recent actvity. Feel free tor reach out to him to discuss your possible condo purchase or sale. Call 203-417-0523 or send an jhall@wpsir.com  He looks forwards to hearing from you.

Greetings,

I am still open for business as real estate is an essential business to the state of CT. However, there are changes in place that effect both the home buyer and the sellers.

-Buyers can only look at homes currently if they are in a position to place a qualified offer soon,not six-eight months from now. 
-I can only show the home to the principal buyers. Please leave any childern at your current home, with family members, etc. They are not allowed in the homes.
-All public open houses & brokers tours have been suspended. All real estate agents are also not permitted to physically go to closing as well.
-If you as a buyer are not feeling well, do not go house hunting. As a seller, if you are not feeling well, hold off on listing your property for sale.
-We will continue to use electronic programs to when possible. New construction at Rivington viewings are curry being completed virtually or through qualified appointment only. Some sellers are requiring health forms signed in advancd of a confirmation to show. Sometimes live streaming or videos are available. Any 
-For in person showings, please bring gloves and hand sanitizer. Some sellers have also requested buyers where booties. We will practice social distancing in the home. Inspectors, attorneys and mortgage brokers are still working but under different ways than before.
-Currently, my corporate leadership team is only permitting the listing agent to take the photos of the home-not a professional photographer. I do take good photos, and if your property is still available after the ban is lifted, we can make arrangements.
-We can do zoom pre-listing appointments and buyer consulting sessions. I am not afraid to leave my home office to meet with you in person. My physical office is only open very limited hours.

Please stay safe, we all in it in togehter.

When you are in the market as a landlord to rent your property, it is very important to get a screen carefully to get a qualified tenant. As a Danbury,CT area listing agent, any tenant I would should the property to must have their credit & background checked through my office's 3rd party vendor. When they complete their application, we will only see out of the consumer privacy laws a number of their credit score, not their actual balance, account number or available rent. The program also searches for any evictions, arrests, civil judgement as well as the terrorist watch list. We always advise landlords to due to their diligence on any perspective tenant. 


I also recommend the landlord require an application in addition to the offer. There would be employment information, references and previous/current landlord information collected. Many of my landlord clients that I have worked with over the years set a minimal credit score to accept on their property, regardless of their income level. 

If the tenant is working with another agent, not my office, we require that agent to run their credit or we can run their clients background & check.

Moving can be a scary process. It's tough to leave where you have set up roots, whether owning your home for over 20 years or moved in just about five years ago. There's a new journey ahead of you; whether across the country or into a larger home for  your growing family.

The actual selling part of your home may be a little challenging, especially if you haven't been active in the real estate market recently. You need to partner with an experienced local real estate expert to help you get the most out of house out. Your housing expert should provide ongoing updating the marketing, communication on the offer and guiding you on the steps to the closing table.  There may be surprises that could come up along the way, but some of which could be good or possibly negative. You could possibly get multiple offers, which allows the home owner to select the most qualified buyer. In the inspection process, the inspector might find a few issues with the condition of the house that you might not be aware of that the home buyer possibly could ask you to address. As an experienced listing agent, I can guide you on how to handle any situation or request that comes up, but it is ultimately your decision as the home owner.

Sometimes sellers have expressed additional concerns about moving. They sometimes mention they have no where to go if they sell, Other sellers wonder if the buyer that they are thinking of accepting have been approved for their mortgage. Sellers are often wondering when they should move out or sign a lease for an apartment to live in once they sell. As a trusted real estate expert in the Danbury, I can answers to these questions and more that you may have. If you are thinking of selling your home, please contact me-Jonathan Hall, a Realtor with William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty, directly on my cell phone 203-417-0523.  I look forward to easing your nerves about selling your home.

I have had a a lot of success helping clients sell their townhome in the Greater Danbury area. Of the last few listings that I have had, the owners received about 96.8% of the last asking price, which is above area market averages per smart mls.In the last 7 listings that I had, for townhomes in the area, my homeowners had their home in contract averaging under 87 days, with a median of 76 days. That is compared to an average days across the board of 118 days.  Another recent client of my mine was able to get the highest sales price in his neighborhood in close to 8 years time.  One other of my sellers clients went from just listed to closed in just over one months time.

If you are thinking about selling your property,I'm available to meet with you at your schedule, whether you are planning to sell as soon as possible or down the road in a couple of years.

Currently, the Danbury housing market is quite active. Inventory levels are across town, from the  Mill Plain Road corridor up through Shelter Rock, South Street to Candlewood Lake. Due to the low inventory, property values for Danbury have come up a little bit. With the market, maybe it is time to consider upgrading into a larger single family home in the Danbury itself or the surrounding towns.You might just be want a larger townhome, after a positive experience in owning a townhome already. Perhaps it may be time to sell and relocate from the Danbury due to changes in your family or career. Regardless of what stage or your destination might be,if you are pretty sure that you can not keep living in your current townhome, I welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss the possibly for the sale of your Danbury,CT townhome.

It does not cost you any additional money to involve your real estate agent if you are just thinking about selling in a couple of years or if you have to list the house on the first day that we meet.  I'd rather have to talk to me before doing any work to your home that you might not need to do, or should do based on the market. In the initial meeting as a seller, we can talk about the general market after touring the home and running the numbers back in my office, I can give you a strong accurate opinion of the home's value for today. The value may be different in the future. From there, we can partner and talk about what you should do to plan your future move. I've had several seller clients pick my brain over the years before they even decide it's the right time to put their condominium on the market in the Greater Danbury,CT area. If you are considering selling your townhome, please contact us today to start the process, regardless of what stage you are in.

In case anybody out there is wondering, I don't only do townhome and condo sellers and buyers. I am also quite experienced with working with clients that need to purchase or sell a more traditional single family home. If you currently own a townhome and feel a single family home would be a better fit your lifestyle, I have the knowledge and experience to make your transition and moving process as stress free as possible. In the other side, if you currently own a single family home in the Greater Danbury area and realize it is time to move into a condominium, we can partner to insure a quick sale & make your sure your purchase is just perfect for you, not settling. I look forward to hearing from you.
