Real Estate Report: Plenty to be Grateful For

By Judy Szablak

Special to WestportNow

There is plenty to be grateful for in Westport’s real estate market.

Inventory is up over 5 percent from last week, there were 14 single-family homes that closed, and 15 homes entered varying stages of deposits in the last seven days.

It is true that the average and median home prices have declined recently, however one must take into account the inventory that those figures represent. In other words, there just happens to be more inventory available in lower price pockets.

Lower inventory prices do not necessarily indicate a decline in overall value. When the inventory ranges and corresponding sales are higher, the average and median prices will be reflective.

The first 100 days of 2018 have brought about a stronger market in Westport than last year.

According to our Multiple Listing Service, the 94 single family closings that have already occurred this year represent a 27 percent increase of unit sales for the same time period in 2017.

That’s a hefty increase, especially when inventory has been lower this year.

The amount of activity in different price pockets often point to a trend, if reviewed closely, but they are not at this time.
