A quick look at the possible effect of this past week’s storm on overall sales.
3/1/09 – 3/23/09 Single Family Sales = 18
3/1/10 – 3/23/10 Single Family Sales = 5

I recently drove by an active listing at 291 Chestnut Hill Road and they certainly had quite a bit of property damage. A large tree from the edge of the street fell across their yard and landed feet from the house. Luckily it appeared the house came away unscathed.

Anyone else know of any active listings which sustained damage?

With over 50% of Stamford without power for the past several days, what kind of effect will it have on March sales? The town has been virtually shut down in some areas and schools will be closed tomorrow for the third day in a row. I personally have been without power or water since Saturday. North Stamford appears to be the worst hit along with the neighboring towns of Greenwich and New Canaan.

I will take a look at the MLS over the next several days to try to gauge the impact the storm has had on local sales. Many homes on the market will have major clean up before they can be shown again.

Anyone familiar with a home which received structural damage?
