For our 'Featured Open House Property' this week, we've chosen to shine the light on a spectacular new construction on the water in Lucas Point. The home, built by award-winning Karp Associates, has spectacular views of Greenwich Cove. After all, who doesn't dream of a home with a water view?

As for recent sales activity, this week we saw a much larger number of home sales recorded in town than in weeks past. Moreover, a number of the sales involved higher-end mid and back-country properties.  It is likely that it's way too early to consider this to be a trend; however, it is nice to see the flurry of activity in the local marketplace.

Is real estate on your mind this Father's Day weekend?

For anyone looking to sell a home, it can be helpful to see what similar homes are priced at. For those of you interested in purchasing a home, this is a great chance to see where your budget will get you.

Lets face it - most everyone in Greenwich is interested in the local real estate market - even if it's just out of idle curiosity. That's why once a week, for your convenience, we provide our readers with a list of select Greenwich-area open houses PLUS information on select recent sales.

It could be that you're looking for a bigger home, or the kids are recently graduated and it's time to downsize. Perhaps you're a Living Greenwich reader from out of town who's planning a future move and trying to get a feel for the local real estate market. Or maybe you're just curious where the numbers for that home you purchased ten (or twenty) years ago fall in the current economic climate...

That's why once a week, for your convenience, we provide our readers with a list of select Greenwich-area open houses.
