Located in Darien, Connecticut, 90 Long Neck Point Road epitomizes the best in scenic, colonial living blended with modern conveniences, all in a picturesque town with plenty to offer residents. The property – which recently sold for $7.5 million – showcases the robust Darien market, which has been highly active throughout the pandemic.
“This is a great example of how the upper end of our market is performing with a premium being paid for move-in condition properties in superb locations,” said Rob Johnson, who represented the seller alongside Eileen Hanford.
The property drew interest from multiple parties and exceeded its pre-pandemic value, which came as no surprise to those involved.
“The pandemic is responsible for igniting an 18-month buying frenzy, leaving a market of high demand and low inventory with prices trending higher in every sector,” explained Eileen. “This home traded at a premium price pre-COVID, during COVID, and post-COVID. It shows why Darien real estate always stands the true test of time.
Eileen helped sell the property in late 2018 for $6.2 million and again in 2019 for $6.4 million—underscoring the market’s potential for continued value.
“We are still seeing a demand for listings, with 51 homes currently listed in Darien vs. pre-COVID-19 numbers of 120-140,” said Nancy Dauk, who represented the buyer in this transaction. “Buyers will pay a premium for a safe sanctuary with all the upgrades, and this home is the perfect example!”
