Significant 2024 milestones have given the Marchesi Team at Compass plenty of reason to celebrate. In addition to reaching their 5 year anniversary with the national brokerage ranked as number one in the United States by sales volume, 2024 solidified Compass as the top-ranked brokerage in Darien for total sales volume (according to the SMART MLS single family, condo and co-op sales in 2024).
The Marchesi Team combines over 35 years of experience as local real estate experts and prides itself on being founding members of the Darien Compass office. The award-winning team, repeatedly included in the WSJ Real Trends “America’s Best List” for being in the top tier of agents in the U.S., has closed over $437 million in real estate transactions and includes local residents Maggie Marchesi, her husband Bob, long-time associate Diane Farrell and Maureen De Boisbriand. In a tough year for the real estate industry, the team increased their sales volume in 2024 by 46%, year over year.
The Marchesi Team achieved several significant sales in Darien, alongside numerous transactions in Stamford, New Canaan, Weston, Rowayton, and Norwalk. Noteworthy listing sales in Darien included 286 Mansfield Avenue for $2.983M, 5 Renshaw Road for $1.935M, 18 Great Hill Road for $1.725M, 40 Relihan Road at $1.6M, 31 Brookside Road at $1.43M and 15 Renshaw Road at $1.401M. Stamford listing sales included 58 Skymeadow Drive for $1.525M, 44 Mary Joy Lane for $965K, 91 River View Drive for $790K and 35 West Broad Street, Unit 428 for $665K.
The team’s local real estate predictions for 2025 are that inventory will likely remain at historically low levels with continued strong buyer demand, perpetuating the very strong seller’s market that has existed for the past few years. With home prices increasing and only 17 homes on the market in Darien as of this writing, the opportunity for home sellers has never been better. Home buyers will continue to be challenged by multiple bids and a competitive environment.
Despite higher mortgage rates than in recent years and the cost of homes continuing their uphill climb, the increase in home value is still outpacing inflation, keeping real estate an excellent investment. Compass affiliated mortgage lender, OriginPoint (NMLS #2185899), is reassuring borrowers in today’s market. Buying now, knowing that you can refinance later, can be a great option to avoid higher home prices later. See the Compass 2024 Year-in-Review Fairfield County Report here.
