Off-market opportunities and pre-list conversations are common in a building this size, and waiting for an active listing to appear on a portal may mean missing the transaction entirely.

About Southport Green

Southport Green is a 24-unit ranch-style condominium community located at 51 Elmwood in the Southport section of Fairfield, CT. The building was constructed in 2006, which places it firmly in the modern construction era for Fairfield County condominiums. At 24 units, this is a small, quiet community rather than a large managed complex. The Southport neighborhood carries its own identity within Fairfield, with a distinct village character, a small historic harbor, and a real estate market that typically prices above the broader Fairfield median. The Fairfield town median across all property types sits around $1,100,000; Southport Green’s own median sale price of $1,152,500 reflects the premium that comes with both the location and the building’s newer construction and larger unit footprints. For buyers exploring Fairfield homes for sale, this building occupies a distinct tier above most of the town’s condominium inventory.

Homes and Layouts at Southport Green

Southport Green offers 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom configurations across its 24 units, built in a ranch style. Unit sizes in the MLS record range from 2,157 square feet at the smaller end to 4,652 square feet for the largest recorded sale. That 4,652-square-foot unit at Unit 23 closed at $2,050,000 in September 2022, which is the largest footprint in the sales history and confirms that at least some units in this building are substantially larger than typical condominium floorplans. The most frequently traded configuration across the sales record is the 2-bedroom, 3-bath unit at approximately 2,157 to 2,809 square feet, and the 3-bedroom, 4-bath layout in the 2,809 to 3,336 square foot range. Buyers should request current floor plans and unit-specific details directly from listing brokers, as individual unit conditions and layouts vary across a building of this age and sales history.

What Buyers Need to Know

HOA fees at Southport Green have ranged from $661 to $1,250 per month across the verified sales record. The most recent transactions show fees in the $1,019 to $1,186 range, which is consistent with a well-maintained 2006-era building in this price tier. Annual property taxes on the units sold in 2024 and 2025 have ranged from $17,856 to $22,766, depending on unit size. Buyers should request the full reserve study and current reserve fund balance before making an offer. A 2006 building is approaching the age where major building systems, including roofing, HVAC, and common area infrastructure, may require attention or have recently been addressed. Understanding the reserve fund health is not optional at this price point.

With only 24 units in the complex, rental restrictions and owner-occupancy ratios are worth verifying carefully. Small buildings with a high percentage of investor-owned units can affect financing options, particularly for buyers using conventional jumbo loans. Confirm the current owner-occupancy rate with the association before engaging a lender. Buyers should also review the association’s rules regarding pets, renovations, and resale disclosure requirements. Given the variation in HOA fees across units and sale years, confirm the current monthly fee for any specific unit in writing from the association rather than relying on historical MLS data alone. Special assessment history should be requested as part of the standard due diligence package for any unit under contract.

Property taxes have risen with sale prices. Unit 23, which sold at $2,050,000 in 2022, carried annual taxes of $30,617. The January 2025 sale at $2,200,000 showed taxes of $22,766 on a 3,336-square-foot unit. Buyers at the upper end of the price range should model the combined carrying cost of HOA fees plus taxes carefully. At the $2,200,000 sale price with a $1,050 monthly HOA and $22,766 annual taxes, the annual fixed carrying cost before mortgage is approximately $35,366.

Buying or Selling at Southport Green

Pricing a unit at Southport Green requires pulling the full MLS sales history and adjusting carefully for size, configuration, and unit condition. The gap between a 2,157-square-foot 2-bedroom unit and a 4,652-square-foot 3-or-4-bedroom unit in this building is wide, and comparable sales from neighboring complexes will not give you an accurate number. The Engel Team has worked across the Fairfield condominium market and can provide a valuation grounded in the actual Southport Green sales record rather than generic town-level comps.

For sellers, the January 2025 data confirms that the right unit, priced correctly and presented well, can achieve $2,200,000 in this building. That is not a ceiling; it is a recent reference point. For buyers, the limited inventory and the building’s demonstrated price trajectory mean that waiting for a second opinion often costs more than acting on the first well-priced unit.
