Westport Real Estate Market Update, Third Quarter 2022
Hi! I’m here with the Third Quarter Market Update, and the market is still super strong. We have 2.8 months supply of inventory, and that’s amazing because in 2019 we had 12.4 months supply of inventory, in 2020 we had 3 months of supply of inventory, and in 2021 we had 3, so we are at the lowest in inventory. Also quite interesting are our prices: our median sales price is $2,500,000; contrast that with $1,200,000 in 2019, $1,300,000 in 2020, and $1,600,000 in 2021. In addition, in the last 30 days we have had only 27 new homes come on the market, 32 accept an offer, and 31 close – so basically 27 came on the market, and 71 came off. So in Westport, CT, our market is pretty close to the highest it’s ever been. It’s definitely the highest sales price, and the activity is super strong & continued to stay that way.
