Rentals
A reader asks,

How are 'The Rentals' over $5,000.00 per month - moving in the Old Greenwich - Riverside Area - is the 'Rental Market' slow too??
Is it a plus to rent the house along with all the furniture - yes - fully furnished?

I don't know much about the rental market but I hear that it has slowed and that prices have been falling for several years now - the latter may change if buyers want to wait and see what happens to the single family market.
In the past six months, 64 single family homes in Old Greenwich and Riverside rented for $5,000 or more (or at least asked $5,000 or more - some actually rented for less than that) and there are currently 29 houses actively for rent. I would think, but do not know, that the market will slow down now that September 1 has passed.
Furnished or unfurnished? Definitely unfurnished. Most houses are rented that way and most tenants already have their own furniture. A temporary tenant, one waiting for his own house to be finished, say, may have his furniture in storage and might welcome the opportunity to leave it there but, as a rule, I think unfurnished homes rent faster and more easily.
