Assembled by: Judy Michaelis, 203-247-5000
Westport homeowners,
Year to date, Only had 71 sales in total. To put it in perspective, there are more than 10,000 homes in Westport. Westport is experiencing critically low inventory, only 2.6 months supply, which is down – 13% year over year. What’s more, so long as residents continue to leave the city in droves. The inventory shortage is likely to continue. That being said, if interest rates indeed come down, it’s safe to expect that more home sellers will opt to list their homes for sale. Whether trading up or downsizing, also there will be more buyers. Given these market dynamics, today is an ideal time to sell your home. There’s more to the story, Westport’s median sales price is $1,850,000 which is up 13% from 2023. The all-cash trend also continues with over 46% of Westport home sales being all cash. 🤔 If you’ve had any thoughts of selling your home, I’d love to chat with you and plan out your strategy that gets you the most amount of money the market will bear. If not, share this video with someone who may have had thoughts of selling.
