Could the Greenwich real estate market change depending on who the nation chooses when it goes to vote on Nov. 4?
With the economy in a state of flux, to put it mildly, and a tight presidential race a little less than six weeks away from reaching its conclusion, the Greenwich market could well see a swing after either Democrat Sen. Barack Obama or Republican Sen. John McCain raise their hands in victory the first Tuesday in November.
In a market where worries about the future are impacting both buyers and sellers, Greenwich Realtors are hoping that once the country’s course is chosen, people will be heading out with more confidence......
While praising the town for its “progressive commitment to employment safety” and holding it up as a model for other communities to emulate, the Connecticut Interlocal Risk Management Agency (CIRMA) honored Greenwich last month at its Risk Control Achievement Awards ceremony.....
Tennis For Tots will begin indoors at the Bendheim Western Greenwich Civic Center on Mondays starting Oct. 27 for six weeks.
