A filing recorded late Friday in the Town Clerk’s office –- about the time Bridgewater Associates was announcing it was not moving to Stamford -– said the buyer was 60 Nyala Farms Road LLC, a corporate entity with apparent ties to Bridgewater.

The LLC’s address, 100 Washington Boulevard, Suite 200, Stamford, is the same as Stamford-based Building and Land Technology (BLT), a privately held real estate private equity, development and property management firm which had been developing a $750 million complex for Bridgewater in Stamford. A notation on the filing said to send a recorded copy to someone at BLT.

A Bridgewater spokesman said today Bridgewater “did not purchase Nyala Farms and continues to explore options.”

Only 20 single family homes have gone under the initial stage of deposit this month, and just three specified price pockets are enjoying 30 percent of all of the activity in town.

The $850,000-900,000 price point is one of the most active price ranges, and has the lowest average market time of just 41 days to reported deposit. The $1.1-1.4 million and $2-2.5 million ranges have also been just as active this month, with an overall average market time of 83 days

Don’t expect too much of a change in overall buyer activity in the next 60-90 days. If your home is on the market, or you are planning to sell your home, it must show at its very finest during this time to effect a timely sale. Buyers are looking, but they are finicky.
