Westport, CT Real Estate Market Update, Mid Year 2023
Westport homeowners: I am here with the Mid Year 2023 market report! So far this year through June, there’s been some noteworthy changes: Our list-to-sale price ratio at the same time last year was 108% of asking price, while we are now selling at 100% of asking price now, so homes are selling basically at list price. They were selling a bit more last year so though we’re still in a strong market, we are ever so slightly correcting. Also our Days-on-Market are up 11%, increasing from 54 days last year to 60 days this year. Our inventory, which is still the big story of the year, is down 23% and our sales are down 37%.
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 Westport, or you’re looking for any further detailed analysis, feel free to call, text, or email me – I’d love to hear from you.
