Special to WestportNow

The $1 to 1.5 million price pocket appears to be alive and well in Westport, as long as the price reflects the home’s value.

Buyers’ perception of value is important in any price range.

However, this particular price pocket has maintained its activity, and is a reasonably close second to the under $1 million range.

When the less than median priced market is active and “moving,” the rest of the market usually follows suit, as it creates an upward domino effect.
