Westport, CT Real Estate Market Update, January 2023
Hi Westport, CT homeowners! I’m here with the January 2023 Westport real estate market update. In 2023, our Westport real estate market has started unbelievably strong. I would dare say that I think the market is stronger this year than last year. For example, we had a home for sale listed on the market last year; in 2021 and 2022, this home was listed for sale at $3,200,000. In January, the home was listed for sale at $3,800,000 and it sold within a week – only four days! We have record low inventory of homes for sale, even lower than January 2022!
Sitting down with a top realtor is vital in helping you understand your options.
