According to agent input data from our local Multiple Listing Service which has been tracking the states that buyers are coming from for only the past three years, the increase is substantial.
In 2018, New Yorkers moving into Westport accounted for 16.5% of the sales during this time frame. The rate was largely flat in 2019 with 17% of buyers coming from our neighboring state. This year we experienced an increase to 31%.
Looking back at the last 60 days, unit sales of homes and condominiums combined are down 8.5% from the same time period in 2019, however that equates to a seven unit reduction in sales throughout a pandemic
