“Every lot is desirable in Greenwich now,” said Mary Ann Heaven, a broker for Berkshire Hathaway in Greenwich — noting that she expects “50 or 60 parties” at an open house for a colonial home over the weekend, or roughly three times more than normal.
“Greenwich is extremely stable, and people are confident that the winds of change that are happening down there [in New York City] are not happening up here,” she said.
Other brokers agreed that a flood of well-heeled Big Apple residents — generally couples ages 30 to 45 with kids — are selling their apartments to move to bedroom communities in Fairfield County, which also includes New Canaan, Stamford and Norwalk.
“The people leaving New York City now are not like the people who left New York City four or five years ago,” said Realtor Marshall Heaven of M.H. Heaven Real Estate in Greenwich who is married to Mary Ann Heaven.
“They’re not the ultra-rich that are going to keep their apartments in Manhattan and just buy another place here and another place there,” Marshall said.
“These are people that are selling their apartments in New York City and moving their families to Greenwich, Connecticut.”
Heaven said he sold a house this week for $2.5 million, more than $500,000 over its asking price, in part because of the Big Apple exodus.
