Not Much Action in Home Sales Last Week

If it takes six weeks to close a real estate sale, then this past week’s dearth of residential real estate closings can be traced back to mid-January, when only the most intrepid buyers braved the snowbanks to find a new home. Notably, in Danbury, a hilltop mansion priced at an astonishing $899,900 sold in two months.
