Shore & Country Properties Releases Third Quarter Statistics

Thursday, November 7th, 2013


Riverside, CT (PRWEB) October 31, 2013

While July and August are traditionally slower months for real estate sales, Shore & Country Properties third quarter report shows overall activity held steady, according to their recently released statistics.

Greenwich saw a 13 percent increase in the number of sales compared to 2012, with the heaviest volume of single-family sales in the $ 1,000,000 to $ 1,500,000 range. The $ 3,000,000 to $ 5,000,000 range also saw an 18 percent jump, but sales over $ 10,000,000 were down 58 percent. Even more scarce, sales under $ 400,000 dropped 75 percent with only two units sold, compared to eight in 2012. While the average sale price is down seven percent to $ 2,105,358, the median price moved up two percent to $ 1,625,000. The number of condominium sales increased 62 percent in terms of units, but saw the average sale price fall five percent.

“There’s always that push to find something and be settled before the school year starts, and this year, with the limited inventory, buyers were still focused, even during the quietest weeks of August,” noted Amy Whitlaw, a sales associate at Shore & Country Properties. “In the past, discouraged buyers would give up looking and sign on for another year in their rentals, but between the competitive rates and improved consumer confidence, many chose to keep searching.”

Greenwich MLS data shows that between July and September, 194 single-family sales closed. A further look at the data shows that in September 2013, there were 49 homes under contract, where in September 2012, only 29 had been reported.

The results of the data can be found at http://shoreandcountryproperties.com/greenwich_market_data.html.

One of the most interesting things about the Greenwich real estate market is the variety of properties listed. The highest sale during the third quarter was an extensively renovated English manor located on Round Hill Road that found a buyer at an even $ 15,000,000. At the other end of the broad market, a two-bedroom, one-bath cottage on Cary Road in Riverside closed for $ 425,000.

Looking ahead, the real estate market may not see the year-end flurry of last December, as there was a rush to close due to expiring tax laws. More likely, the market will see the usual holiday slowdown and predict a bustling January and exciting spring of 2014.

About the company:

Shore and Country Properties was originally started by Russell Pruner in 1989 as Russell Pruner and Associates. His vision for a company comprised of the towns best full-time real estate professionals. Nancy Healy joined the company as a partner in 1996. Since starting her career in real estate in 1987, Nancy has been one of the towns busiest and well-respected realtors. Recently her peers voted her one of Americas Most Preferred Realtors. The year 2000 brought the addition of two more partners, Joan Epand and Ken Yorke. Each added yet more talent to the group, from Joans marketing expertise to Kens sharp accounting skills and operational abilities.

Both Russ and Nancy have served multiple time as President of the Greenwich Association of Realtors and the Multiple Listing Service and give their time to work on other committees. As a result they have a unique understanding of what it takes to run a successful real estate firm. And by carefully selecting only agents who represent the best of Greenwich, Russell Pruner and Associates quickly grew to become the leading independent real estate firm, serving all 50 square miles of Greenwich and lower Fairfield County.

“We handpick respected agents who demonstrate the integrity, expertise and personal touch that clients deserve when buying or selling their most valuable assets.”

In 2003, Russell Pruner and Associates became Shore and Country Properties to let consumers know they service every neighborhood from the back country to the shore line. For the past 12 years, Shore and Country Properties has been the number-one real estate company in Greenwich by selling their listings in the fewest number of days (81) and with the highest original list price to sales price at 93.75 percent. They continue to lead the Greenwich market in transactions and dollar volume while providing unparalleled service to their clients. It is their hope that the new website will draw visitors from around the globe to learn about this very dynamic company and this very special town.

YUE Publisher Chiu-Ti Jansen Named Trailblazer at Third Annual Top Ten Asian American Business Awards

Tuesday, April 30th, 2013

(PRWEB) April 22, 2013

YUE Magazine, a preeminent Chinese-English lifestyle magazine founded by Chiu-Ti Jansen and Jared Kushners Observer Media Group, is pleased to announce that its Publisher Chiu-Ti Jansen will be receiving the Trailblazer Award from the U.S. Pan Asian American Chamber of Commerce Northeast Chapter (USPAAC-NE) on April 24. The Third Annual Top Ten Asian American Business Awards ceremony will take place at the Auditorium of Morgan Stanley Worldwide Headquarters at 1585 Broadway in New York City.

The Top Ten Asian American Business Awards also known as the Business Oscars for the Asian American business community is the most prestigious Pan Asian American business award program in the Northeast Region. The award program honors Asian entrepreneurs with outstanding leadership, vision and accomplishments who have built a sustainable business and simultaneously support a business community. Winners of the program will also participate in the national Fast 50 Award program at USPAACC annual national event CelebrAsian on June 3-5, 2013 in California.

According to Chiu-Ti Jansen, Being a foreigner has been a defining experience in my life, so when I started my own business CHINA HAPPENINGS I wanted to make it part of my mission to explore, in depth, the creative energy that one draws from encountering another culture. Being an entrepreneur is not only about being ones own master, but also about living beyond our pre-conceived categorization of talents, professions and geographies. I want to be in a business that allows me to be artistic and business-minded, creative and analytical, Western and Chinese–all at the same time.

Reflecting on making up her new world, Chiu-Ti Jansen said, when I retired from a covetable partner position at a major Wall Street law firm in 2010, many thought it was the most challenging time to start a new business. I knew it would not be easy to give up the shield of a big corporate letterhead and establish new credentials from scratch. But I have never looked back since. Now I carve out my own roles and live by my own designs. I am a TV presenter, a publisher and a writer. I am also a business owner. I am involved with many charitable organizations and cultural institutions. Every day presents a new set of challenges and, along with it, a new set of opportunities. This Award is humbling–it reminds me that it is my privilege to lend voice to Asian Americans under-represented cultural and artistic accomplishments.

The Top Ten Asian Business Awards counts many Fortune 500 corporations including Morgan Stanley, Citibank, HSBC, Merck, UPS, and Time Warner as its sponsors. Chiu-Ti Jansen will be joining the ranks of past award winners Collabera, Netcom Learning, A & Z Pharmaceuticals as well as leading Asian non-profit organizations such as the AAARI. The Top Ten Asian Business Awards recognizes Asian-owned companies with the fastest revenue growth over the last three years.
