It only seems right that when we get close to talking about the fun topic of taxes that we also talk about the sexy side of home buying - mortgages! We swear if you make a drinking game out of how many times we say rates - it makes this episode really fun! Mark is joined by Tim Agro this week and shares the latest inventory analysis, updates on the public open house feeding frenzy and what is still a tight market with high demand and low inventory. Plus - Tim talks about the not so publicized rental market just in time for city dwellers to think about a summer getaway! Then comes the best part, we have our friend Illiad Estrada, VP Of Mortgage Lending at Gauranteed Rate Affinity who will share an update on what she's seeing and how best to secure the best rate during one of the most unpredictable times in the market.

Spring Market Part One - The new hot listing price!

154 new listings this week in Greenwich's Spring Market - which continues to heat up! Some more inventory on the market which is great - but only 8 are under $1M. So net/net - it's time to upgrade as the +$3M range is really starting to take off right before school year end. Mark also discusses some "funny" updates that the Town of Greenwich is making to its schools and famed Greenwich Ave. Plus, Russ takes a reflective look on his rise in the business and the "old school/new school" methodologies of doing real estate. How "the deal ain't done till the contract is signed" has become the new standard of business and what does it mean to be a true bulldog realtor in todays competitive market.

Spring Market WHOA!

The spring market is off to the races with some wild times in what continues to be a sellers market. While inventory is coming on (51 listings in recent weeks) many are off the market in a matter of days as realtors see crazy traffic like 120 showings! The $1M - $5M range continues to be the shining star as attractive starter homes, low-taxes and great schools continue to draw folks to Greenwich despite Wall Street's bear market outlook. Plus, we welcome COMPASS Greenwich Manager Barb McKee [https://www.compass.com/agents/barb-mckee/]who shares why COMPASS has the competitive edge when it comes to brokerage firms and continues to dominate in places like Greenwich and the greater NYC area.
