In following along the same theme as my last post, I thought we could take a look at the most expensive home for sale in Stamford. This distinction belongs to 236 Davenport Drive in the far west corner of Stamford (practically in Old Greenwich). For only $5,750,000 you can own a 5044 sq foot ($1139 per sq ft) home right on Long Island Sound. Perfect for parking your yacht in the deep mooring dock and then taking a dip in your own private beach. Who needs spray tans?
The home last sold in August of 2006 for $5,200,000 which makes todays asking price a stretch considering virtually no homes in Stamford are selling for their 2006 values. The house has been on the market since September 2008 when it was originally listed at $6,750,000. In the last 365 days there have been 3 homes over $3,000,000 sold in Stamford and none over $4,000,000. Compare that to the same period in 2006 and 9 homes over $3,000,000 were sold. It is no surprise that the sales activity in the million dollar plus range has greatly suffered.
