"April 2026 was defined by price gains and a lack of inventory in Greenwich," stated Brian Amen, GAR 2026 President. "We saw a 46.60% increase in the median sales price for condo/co-ops and a 23.08% increase for single-family homes, confirming buyer competition. This demand is reducing our available housing inventory, with single-family inventory dropping 38.1% and condo/co-op inventory down nearly 29%. The 36.07% decrease in Days On Market for single-family properties further confirms that buyers must act quickly in this highly competitive environment. "

“March 2026 brought a surge in transaction volume across Greenwich, with single-family residential closings increasing by over 52% and condo/co-op closings rising by over 45% compared to last year. This strong demand is reflected in the drop in Days On Market for both markets, indicating a fast-paced environment for properties that are selling. However, we also observed decreases in median sales prices and a continuation of tight inventory levels as fewer new listings came to market," stated Brian Amen, GAR 2026 President.

Pending closings as of Wednesday, April 15th for Single Family homes were 71 and 12 for Condo/Co-Op sales.

In Memory of GAR Past President Carolyn Anderson

August 20, 1941 - February 24, 2026

The Board of Directors of the Greenwich Association of REALTORS® (GAR) and Greenwich Multiple Listing Service (GMLS) honors the memory of GAR Past President, Carolyn Anderson.

Carolyn became very involved in leading the GAR & GMLS organizations, served as President in 2007, and sat on the GAR Board of Directors for many years. She also served on numerous committees during her time with GAR, helping to shape and strengthen the organization.

Carolyn was inducted into the GAR Hall of Fame in 2011, which recognizes the highest ethical standards, integrity and professionalism, and going above and beyond to volunteer in the community for the benefit of the public.

Carolyn will be remembered for her professionalism and dedication.

Outside of her professional life, Carolyn and Jerry embarked on a lifetime of adventures. She and Jerry both earned their pilot licenses and flew a Beechcraft Bonanza together. She enjoyed backcountry camping and was an avid skier. She and Jerry learned the fundamentals of viticulture and started a commercial vineyard on her beloved family farm in Clinton County, Indiana. In earlier years, Carolyn was active as a den leader for Cub Scouts and a pack leader for Girl Scouts, while also serving on the boards of the Greenwich chapter of the American Red Cross and the American Field Service.

"She was a gift who left behind a great legacy and will be missed," stated Brian Amen, 2026 GAR President.

Carolyn’s legacy will live on through the countless lives she touched in the Greenwich community, and she will be deeply missed by many.

Greenwich Association of Realtors Community Foundation Awards $50,000 in Grants to Local Nonprofits

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 22:51:57 GMT

GREENWICH, CT, October 30, 2025 - The Greenwich Association of Realtors Community Foundation (GARCF), the charitable arm of the Greenwich Association of REALTORS® (GAR), announces the recipients for its first annual grant process.

The GAR Community Foundation is thrilled to award one grand prize $25,000 grant to Meals-on-Wheels of Greenwich to support and expand their core meal delivery program. With the help of this grant, Meals on Wheels of Greenwich aims to reach more food-insecure residents- including elderly adults living alone and children from low-income families by: preparing an additional 1,500 meals annually, increasing weekend meal delivery to preschoolers in local early childhood programs (where many children face food insecurity outside of school hours), upgrading delivery supplies and equipment, and supporting the coordination of their 70+ volunteers.

"Meals on Wheels Inc of Greenwich is grateful to have been selected to receive the grant from the Greenwich Association of Realtors Community Foundation,” said Lori Jackson, President of Meals-on-Wheels of Greenwich. “It will support the work we do providing nutritionally balanced meals to those who need support to remain in their homes. These funds will provide a meaningful impact for our current and future clients.”

With over six decades of trusted service, Meals-on-Wheels of Greenwich is deeply embedded in the local community, delivering nutritious meals to homebound elderly, disabled adults, and preschool children in need across Greenwich, CT. Clients of Meals-on-Wheels are unable to shop or cook for themselves due to age, disability, illness, or financial hardship. The organization is supported by a team of volunteers who provide meals with care and compassion, while also performing daily wellness checks that often serve as lifelines for those on the receiving end.

In addition to the grand prize, five $5,000 unrestricted general operating grants will be awarded to other finalists including: Coffee for Good, Family Centers, Kids in Crisis, River House, and Transportation Association of Greenwich.

The 2025 GARCF grantees were selected by a vote of the Greenwich Association of Realtors Community Foundation Directors. The vote followed a thorough review which narrowed down an initial pool of 30 local nonprofit applicants to six finalists based on criteria including the organizations’ demonstrated impact and the population served.

While this is the first year the Greenwich Association of Realtors Community Foundation has hosted a formal grant process for local nonprofits to participate in, the Greenwich Association of Realtors and the Greenwich Multiple Listing Service (a wholly owned subsidiary of GAR), have supported local community organizations through charitable giving and philanthropic efforts for over a century, providing well over $500,000 in support for the past five years alone.

The GAR Community Foundation was established in preparation for GAR’s centennial celebration in 2024 with the goal of growing these efforts and impact well into the future. The GAR Community Foundation aims to provide funding to projects and initiatives that address critical needs such as housing, resident and elderly services, safety initiatives, conservation and beautification efforts, education and youth development, and more, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for all residents of the Greenwich Community.

In Memory of GAR Past President Brad Hvolbeck

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 15:01:10 GMT

In Memory of GAR Past President Brad Hvolbeck

November 8, 1940 - August 17, 2025

The Board of Directors of the Greenwich Association of REALTORS® (GAR) and Greenwich Multiple Listing Service (GMLS) honors the memory of GAR Past President, Bradley Steele Hvolbeck.

Brad joined GAR & GMLS in September 1968, and remained active through 2024, which earned him REALTOR® Emeritus status with over 50 years of membership and service in the Greenwich, Connecticut, and National Association of REALTORS®.

Brad became very involved in leading the GAR & GMLS organizations, sitting for multiple terms as President between 1982-1986, 1991-1992, and 2002-2003 - the most of any GAR Past President - which is a testament to the respect he gained amongst his colleagues.

Brad was awarded the GAR REALTOR® of the Year award in 2004, and shortly thereafter was inducted into the GAR Hall of Fame in 2006. Inductees of the GAR Hall of Fame exhibit the highest ethical standards, integrity and professionalism, and go above and beyond to volunteer in the community for the benefit of the public.

Throughout the GAR Community, Brad will be remembered as a true professional. He was also quite the artist- His below original painting 'Nine Flags' is proudly displayed in the GAR Lobby.

Outside of his professional life, “ Brad was renowned for his sharp wit, sense of humor, his elegant style and his magnificent posture. His personality filled the room and more than anything Brad loved being with his family and friends, entertaining, telling a story or cracking a joke. ”

Brad's legacy will live on through the many lives he touched throughout the Greenwich community and he will be missed dearly by many.

May 2025 Greenwich Sales

Fri, 06 Jun 2025 15:22:42 GMT

June 5, 2025 (Greenwich, CT) - The Greenwich Association of REALTORS® announces the statistics for home sales for the month of May 2025 according to figures provided by the Greenwich Multiple Listing Service, Inc.

The Median Sale Price for a single-family home decreased 8.11% to $2,700,000 from the median sales price in May 2024, which was $2,938,150.

The average Days On Market (DOM) for residential homes was 56 days; which was a 5.66% increase from 53 days in May 2024.

There were 86 new single-family listings brought to the market in May 2025, which is a 14% decrease in New Listings when compared to May 2024 when there were 100.

At month-end, Active single-family inventory totaled 175 units, which is a 8.4% decrease from May 2024 when there were 191 units available.

Condominium and Co-op Sales

Separately, the condo and co-op market remains consistent from the year prior from a unit sales and inventory standpoint. Market times for both Single Family and Condo Units are at or below 60 days, which points to efficient transactions for newly added inventory in the spring market," stated Brian Amen, 2025 President of the Greenwich Association of REALTORS®.

Pending closings as of Wednesday, June 18th for Single Family homes were 87 and 18 for Condo/Co-Op sales.

The Median Sale Price for a condo/co-op increased 11.43% to $1,170,000 from the median sales price in November 2023, which was $1,050,000.

The average Days On Market (DOM) for condo/co-op residential homes was 44, which was a 16.98% decrease from 53 days in November 2023.

There were 12 new condo/co-op units brought to the market in November 2024, which is a decrease of new listings compared to November 2023 when there were 15. At month-end, Active condo/co-op inventory totaled 31 units, which is a 16.2% decrease from November 2023 when there were 37 units available.

"Greenwich's real estate market is currently undergoing a dynamic transformation. While single-family home prices have surged, the condo and co-op sectors have experienced more tempered price adjustments. A key driver of this shift is the notable decline in available listings across both property types, which is reshaping market trends. In this evolving environment, partnering with an experienced Realtor can be invaluable for both buyers and sellers, helping them navigate the complexities and seize opportunities for success.”, stated Bryan Tunney, 2024 President of the Greenwich Association of REALTORS®.

Dozens of Greenwich Association of REALTORS® Volunteers Kick off the Season of Giving With Their Helping Hands

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 18:34:58 GMT

December 5, 2024 - As the very first snowflakes of the season fell, 40 intrepid volunteers from the Greenwich Association of REALTORS® (GAR) wrapped up the fifth annual “Fall HomeFront Days.” Their focus during this high-impact encore of their work with the program was to make the home of a Cos Cob widow in her 90s safer, warmer and more livable. By the end of their workday, they rectified some facia board damage to keep squirrels out, replaced dangerous steps and railings, patched and painted walls, cleaned gutters and installed new ones while dispatching a mountain of leaves and trimming shrubs and trees that threatened the home. GAR volunteers were in solidarity with 400 volunteers from 10 community groups participating across nine CT cities. Kicked off in late August, volunteers completed life-changing repairs through late November. With an eye toward making homes more livable for the colder months, this season’s outpouring united local corporate, civic and faith-based groups for the benefit of older adults on fixed incomes, veterans, persons with disabilities, single-parent households and families in transitional crisis. The event capped weeks of planning on behalf of volunteer leaders, representing a major step in HomeFront’s campaign to revitalize more than 50 homes in need this year at no cost to the beneficiaries. In addition to the dedicated helpers, this much needed service is made possible by grants, individual donations and volunteer sponsorships.

HomeFront’s mission is especially crucial in the state of CT where low-income households are more likely to confront health and safety repair issues in their living spaces due to the 6th oldest housing stock in the nation, according to the Partnership for Strong Communities. The ability to afford repairs is hampered given this finding from the United Way of CT: more than one-third of CT homeowners spend over 30 percent of their income on housing.

Many low-income families have been forced to defer crucial home maintenance while having weathered inflation in every area of their lives. In the words of Board Chair, Kenneth Wiegand, “HomeFront is proud to play a part in restoring housing stability to our neighbors in need. So many of our beneficiaries thank us for making their homes more livable while freeing up precious finances that they can apply to home heating fuel, food, prescriptions, textbooks and other necessities.”

The Greenwich Association of REALTORS® (a 501(c)6 organization) is the local trade association for real estate professionals in the Greenwich, CT area. GAR provides professional development, advocacy, and networking opportunities to members, and promotes the value of working with Greenwich Realtors to the public.

Today’s HomeFront organizes Spring and Fall volunteer home repair group events. The program has also ratcheted up assistance with its new initiative called Critical Pro Repair (CPR). Through CPR, skilled HomeFront staff team up with one or two skilled volunteers to deliver crucial repairs such as wheelchair ramps, step and walkway overhauls and deck repairs to struggling families. More than 170 local families have received essential construction aid from HomeFront through CPR since 2020.

The collective compassion of hands-on volunteers, product contributors, foundations and other donors brings HomeFront to the mark of more than 3,200 homes revitalized in program history, delivering $50 million of service where needed most since 1988. HomeFront is a community-based program dedicated to keeping low-income homeowners in their homes with an improved quality of life through substantial repairs completed at no cost to them. HomeFront is accepting applications for help from low-income households. All inquiries are kept confidential. More information on HomeFront can be found online at: www.homefrontprogram.org.

GAR Scholarship Committee Report

Fri, 21 Jun 2024 20:46:18 GMT

The Greenwich Association of REALTORS® gives two renewable scholarships each year: the Robert S. Curtis Memorial Award is given in memory of a distinguished Greenwich realtor with a long record of service to the real estate community and to the town. The second award is the Greenwich Multiple Listing Service Award. The recipients of these awards must balance a good academic record with extra-curricular or job-related activities. Each scholarship is $4000/year for each year of college.

When possible, we try to award the scholarships to children of realtors. Scholarship candidates are sent to us from the Greenwich Scholarship Association and recipients are chosen by members of the GAR Scholarship Committee. This year both of our recipients have parents who are realtors.

This week The Robert S. Curtis Memorial Scholarship was awarded to Ruby Lamkin who is attending The University of Delaware.

The Greenwich Multiple Listing Award was given to Kiley Goldfarb who is attending Indiana University.

Thank you to the members of the GAR Scholarship Committee for their careful consideration of candidates. Thank you to all members of the Greenwich Association of Realtors for your generosity in supporting our students and giving back to the Greenwich community.

Barbara Hindman, Chair, GAR Scholarship Committee

Tunney has been a member of the National Association of REALTORS®, Connecticut Association of REALTORS®, and Greenwich Association of REALTORS® beginning March 17, 2004.

Bryan has proven his extraordinary commitment to the real estate industry and community through his service at the local, state, and national levels. Throughout his nearly 20 years as a REALTOR®, Bryan has served in the following capacities for the Greenwich Association of Realtors: Board of Directors 2012-2024, Education Committee 2010-2020, Finance Committee 2015-2024, Local Issues Committee 2010-2015, Professional Standards Committee 2017-2024, RPAC & Legislative Issues Committee 2006-2012, Scholarship Committee 2006-2024, and the Social Committee from 2006-2010.

At the State level Bryan has served a number of years on the CT Association of Realtors Board of Directors, as well as the following committees: BOD Appeals, Endorsement, Finance, Independent Expenditures, Issues Advocacy, Legislative & Political Affairs, Political Fundraising, Grassroots Committee, RPAC Trustees, and Strategic Planning.

Tunney has also served in past years on the State and Local Issues Policy Committee and Board of Directors for the National Association of Realtors, and is the current Vice Chair of NAR's Risk Management and Issues Committee.

Beyond his contributions to the real estate industry, Bryan serves on the Board of Directors for the Transportation Association of Greenwich, which provides specialized transportation for seniors, disabled individuals and school-age youth.

Tunney has also coached and volunteered with the Greenwich Youth Lacrosse organization for over 30 years.

Tom Gorin, past president of the Greenwich Association of Realtors and fellow Hall of Famer, surprised Tunney with the award and induction at the 100th GAR Annual Meeting on Friday, January 12th, which was hosted at the Greenwich Country Club. “I was pleased and flattered to be asked to present the award to Bryan, and to “say a few words” about him. There was just so much material there! Bryan’s real estate career began at our firm — and there never was a dull moment from the first day on. It was fun for me to tell some of our history.”

"I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the Association and my fellow members. It is an honor working with the local Realtors and staff who are the best in the business," exclaimed Bryan. "I look forward to continuing my volunteer efforts as GAR celebrates it's 100th Anniversary this year."

Pam Cunconan is Greenwich's 2023 REALTOR® of the Year

Tue, 16 Jan 2024 13:20:06 GMT

January 12, 2024 (Greenwich, CT) – The Greenwich Association of REALTORS® (GAR) Announced that Pam Cunconan of Coldwell Banker Realty is GAR’s REALTOR® of the Year for 2023.

The REALTOR® of the Year Award is among the highest honors presented to a member and is based upon leadership and contributions made to the Greenwich Association of REALTORS®, Connecticut Association of REALTORS®, National Association of REALTORS®, and the Greenwich community.

Pam has been a REALTOR® since 1997, and is actively involved as the chair of the Greenwich Association of REALTORS® 100 Year Celebration Task Force, which has implemented multi-faceted efforts to celebrate the organization's 100th Anniversary. Pam has been a driving force in transforming the record keeping process for archival items for the Association and MLS into the future, and throughout the process has uncovered some pivotal historical moments for the organizations. She has also lead the task force to plan various activities, events, and press releases to engage members and the community in the centennial festivities.

Cunconan previously served on the GAR & GMLS Board of Directors from 2017-2019, and throughout her tenure as a member, she has volunteered her time on the Professional Standards Committee beginning in 1998, 2000, 2001, the Education Committee in 1998, 2000, 2001, the MLS Committee in 2007, 2009, and the Grievance Committee from 2009-2022. As a member of GAR for over 26 years, Pam's involvement has also included active participation in association events and activities, coupled with selfless dedication to teaching ethics to new agents.

In addition to her professional endeavors, Pam is deeply committed to making a positive impact in the community. Her involvement in charitable outreach programs, such as Meals on Wheels, ABILIS and senior community endeavors, reflects a genuine concern for the well-being of others. Another program she has proudly volunteered for is called "Puppies Behind Bars". This program allows prisoners to train puppies to be service dogs during the week. Pam's job as a volunteer was to take the dogs out of the prison for socialization, including activities like train rides, visiting parks and social skills that they otherwise would not get exposure to those environments. Once trained, the dogs will be given to Vets or persons with special needs. Pam has also worked with Ukrainians learning to speak English.

"I'm proud to receive this honor and grateful to all those who came before me and so generously shared their knowledge and expertise. Let’s keep that tradition alive", stated Pam Cunconan.

Pam was presented with the award by Sally Parris, member of the Awards Committee. “As a mentor, this individual has left a permanent and positive mark on countless individuals. The guidance and wisdom have played a pivotal role in shaping the careers of many, embodying the qualities of a true leader by cultivating an environment of growth, professionalism, and camaraderie among peers," stated Sally Parris.

The award was announced to members at the GAR Annual Meeting on Friday, January 12th, which was hosted at the Greenwich Country Club.

The Greenwich Association of REALTORS® is the professional board of choice for the real estate industry in Greenwich. Established in 1924, the association provides professional development and services for REALTORS® and represents the concerns and interests of private property and home ownership rights.

Dozens of Greenwich REALTOR® Volunteers Revitalize Home of Local Resident in Need

Thu, 28 Sep 2023 15:25:39 GMT

September 23, 2023 - Leaves may be falling soon but hopes are very much on the rise thanks to hundreds of good-hearted volunteers preparing to fix up 12 homes across nine cities in CT during this year’s Fall HomeFront Days – all at no cost to the recipients. This aid could not come sooner to older adults living on social security, low-income veterans, persons with disabilities, single-parent households and families in transitional crisis due to illness or job loss. Hundreds of residents have turned to HomeFront for help with substantial repair needs this year. In every case, our most vulnerable neighbors are contending with stubbornly high inflation as they brace themselves for the colder months.

Volunteer leaders from the Greenwich Association of Realtors dedicated weeks of planning to bring peace of mind to an older gentleman and Greenwich resident of 30 years who now has health issues and financial limitations of his own after caring for his father for quite some time. On Sat., Sept 23rd, some 40 real estate professionals and contractors rolled up their sleeves with an agenda that encompassed new gutters, overhauling hazardous front steps and railings, door repairs, cleanup, landscaping, plumbing improvements, lattice work and fresh coats of paint. Many segments of the Greenwich community stepped up to the cause, including generously donated skilled construction expertise, landscaping needs, and a host of local businesses who gifted refreshments to fuel the hometown helpers.

Special shout outs are in order to the following local contractors and businesses for their contributions:

Local contractors David Dall of Total Home Management (Greenwich, CT), Enrique Gutierrez of A.E. Gutierrez Contracting (Stamford, CT), and Stephen Kane of SKG Investment Partners (Greenwich, CT) and their teams dedicated their time and efforts both on the volunteer day and beyond to various life-changing projects for the beneficiary, and also provided the necessary guidance and safety oversight to volunteers.

Sam Bridge Nursery & Greenhouses (437 North St, Greenwich) went above and beyond with their donation of perennial plants and trees that will bring new life and brightness to the property for years to come.

Dunkin Donuts (271 West Putnam Ave, Greenwich) provided coffee and donuts, and Upper Crust Bagels (197 Sound Beach Ave, Old Greenwich) contributed bagels and spreads to fuel our morning volunteers. Glenville Pizza (243 Glenville Road, Greenwich) and Happiness Is Catering (1067 North St, Greenwich) generously donated pizzas and sandwiches for the volunteer lunch, and Edible Arrangements (384 West Putnam Ave, Greenwich) and Aux Delices (3 West Elm St, Greenwich) provided a much needed sweet treat to help afternoon volunteers power through the cold, rainy afternoon.

Mattress Firm (159 West Putnam Ave, Greenwich) also provided a substantial discount on a new mattress for the beneficiary.

Additional product and service contributors included: Ace Hardware, Bethel (building supplies); Allway Tools, Bronx, NY (tools); Behr Paint, Santa Anna, CA (paint); DAP Products, Baltimore, MD (caulk); H.J. Hoffman & Co., Norwalk (screenprinting); Mercury Excelum, East Windsor (windows) Ring’s End, Bethel (doors and construction materials); The Home Depot, Danbury (building materials); Wooster Brush Co, Wooster, OH (paint sundries).

The project and improvements could not have been possible without the support of these wonderful contributors and volunteers.

A tradition 36 years in the making, these Fall HomeFront Days are a major step forward in the program’s goal of delivering housing stability to 75 of our most vulnerable neighbors this year.

According to HomeFront’s Board Chair, Kenneth Wiegand, “The Greenwich Association of Realtors could not be more of a natural fit with our mission. Their life’s work revolves around the importance of a decent home. We are honored to partner with them.”

Today’s HomeFront organizes Spring and Fall volunteer home repair group events. The program has also ratcheted up assistance with its new initiative called Critical Pro Repair (CPR). Through CPR, skilled HomeFront staff team up with one or two skilled volunteers to deliver crucial repairs such as wheelchair ramps, step and walkway overhauls and deck repairs to struggling families. More than 85 local families have received essential construction aid from HomeFront through CPR since 2020.

The collective compassion of hands-on volunteers, product contributors, foundations and other donors brings HomeFront to the mark of more than 3,200 homes revitalized in program history, delivering $50 million of service where needed most since 1988. HomeFront is a community-based program dedicated to keeping low-income homeowners in their homes with an improved quality of life through substantial repairs completed at no cost to them. More information on HomeFront can be found online at: www.homefrontprogram.org .

As of the end of August, there is 2.2 months supply of inventory. This is among the lowest recorded inventory for the Town of Greenwich, and represents an 18.9% decrease from the previous month, and a 33.6% decrease from August 2022.”

Greenwich REALTORS® Delivers Paddington™ Gifts to Children in Local Shelters

Wed, 04 Jan 2023 18:15:55 GMT

GREENWICH ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® DELIVERS PADDINGTON™ GIFTS TO CHILDREN IN LOCAL SHELTERS

The plush bears were “raised” to help local families remain in their homes.

Approximately 3,000 people across CT are homeless on any given night and 1 in 5 of those are children under 18. Paddington™ bears were “raised” as part of the Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness 7th annual be homeful for the holidays campaign. For every $25 donated, the CT REALTORS ® Foundation sponsored the gift of a Paddington bear or backpack for older children spending the holidays in a shelter. This allowed all money raised to go directly to the be homeful fund. The fund provides emergency assistance that frontline workers can access to help local families remain in their homes rather than enter the shelter system. The be homeful project has served over 2,000 children in 1,000 families since 2015.

This year, the Greenwich Association of REALTORS® delivered gifts locally to Kids In Crisis and YWCA Greenwich Domestic Abuse Services .
