Westport, CT Real Estate Market Update, February 2023
Hi Westport, CT homeowners! I’m here with the February 2023 Westport real estate market update. The February 2023 numbers are in, and we’re off to a gangbusters start. We only have 67 homes for sale on the market, versus the same time last year when we had 115 homes for sale. So far this year, we have only had 27 new homes come on the market, and 75 have sold, so we are starting the year with very, very little inventory. The Westport real estate market has gotten off to an earlier start than usual due to the fabulous weather that we’ve had, so I am just hoping that spring 2023 is going to bring many more people with homes coming on the market – especially those with pools, who are waiting for more sunshine to photograph their houses and put them on the market, but our market is super strong. Homes are selling just over 100% of list price, so if you’ve had any thoughts of selling your house, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Sitting down with a top realtor is vital in helping you understand your options. If you’d like to know what’s going on in your part of the Westport, CT real estate market or you’re looking for any further detailed analysis, feel free to call, text, or email me – I’d love to hear from you.
