Fairfield County continues to see an influx of urban renters and high demand for single family homes, while inventory levels remain low. The multiple offer trend continues. While mortgage rates remain very attractive, cash offers have a clear advantage for sellers, but not so much for buyers. Many are reluctant to forfeit the lending advantages and others don't have the option. |
