Real Estate Report: Market Time Important

By Judy Szablak

Special to WestportNow

Whether buying or selling a home in Westport, pay close attention to the market time of a property.

As a seller, a lengthy market time can truly hurt your bottom line. As a buyer, having this knowledge can often help you get a better price on a particular home.

Reviewing the town’s averages, the days on market have been right around four months. However, the average cumulative market time is seven months.

Bear in mind that these homes are still “active” on the market, and have not yet taken a deposit.
