PROVIDENCE, RI – February 1st, 2023 – Compass is excited to announce the sale of 215 Watch Hill Drive in East Greenwich, RI, for $1,087,500. Kevin Fox, Sales Associate with Compass Providence, represented the buyer in this transaction. This marks the highest sale in East Greenwich since November of last year.* 

East Greenwich, like much of Rhode Island, has seen an increase in sales price over the past two years. The average sales price for single family homes in the municipality grew to $726,979 in 2022, which is over $300,000 higher than the average for Kent County. Inventory remains at low levels, with just 190 single family homes sold in East Greenwich last year.** 

“We’re hopeful heading into the spring market”, commented Kevin Fox. “We expect active inventory to increase as it always does after the new year, and there is no shortage of buyers looking to purchase. This means that Rhode Island homes should hold their value throughout 2023 despite the unprecedented market we had in 2021 and 2022.” 

215 Watch Hill Drive is an elegant brick-front Colonial-style home set on an oversized, one-plus acre lot with multiple decks overlooking the private grounds. This stately home welcomes you with a gracious curved staircase and soaring ceilings in the foyer. Beyond, explore the open floor plan which includes a spacious dining area, light-filled seating area, and powder room. Adjacent to this is the incredible eat-in kitchen with island, newer appliances, and access to the back deck and family room. With five-bedrooms and two-and-one-half baths across 4,461 square feet of total living space, the home has plenty of room for friends and family. 

2022 marked a banner year for Compass agents in New England. In 2022, Compass agents represented over $1B in Rhode Island real estate transactions alone and represented five of the top ten sales in the state.***
