Why do I love Fairfield? There are so many reasons why. My goal with this blog is to explore Fairfield and then share my discoveries and the hidden gems of Fairfield with you. There so many wonderful places to live and raise a family in Connecticut. I should know, because I sell real estate here. I want to show you why I chose to buy a home and raise my family in Fairfield Connecticut. And after 18 years, I am still so very delighted that I can call this place home.

My first discovery is the award winning Fairfield Public Library. In 2005 the library was totally renovated, and it is really something to behold. There are programs for people of all ages, from pre-school to seniors. My friend who is a language specialist told me that the Fairfield Public Library has one of the best Children’s libraries in Connecticut, and she has been to a lot of libraries.

There are baby play groups, mother/daughter book groups, pre-school story times, and even a program for kids and their dads. Go check it out.

Located at 1080 Old Post Road, Fairfield, CT. 203 256-3155.

California Dreamin’ in the Fairfield CT Real Estate Market

California here we come!! Yes, it’s true that many trends originate on the west coast and eventually find their way east. It looks like history is holding true, and at least one California trend has found it’s way to the Fairfield, CT real estate market.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the housing market is seeing scattering signs of improvement. Most importantly is the decrease in the monthly supply of homes. California currently has a 3.8 month supply versus a year ago when it was at a 16 month supply.

In comparison Fairfield is holding its own with an 8.4 month supply versus early ’09 where it was a 13-14 month supply. According to Al Filippone, director of Al Filippone Associates at William Raveis Real Estate, a perfect balance is a 5-6 month supply of homes.
