Real Estate Report: Absorption Rate Important

By Judy Szablak

Special to WestportNow

The Greens Farms area of Westport continues to enjoy one of the highest absorption rates in town, along with the Hunt Club, Compo Beach, and Long Lots areas.

The absorption rate is most easily defined as to how quickly the homes available in a given market will sell, and it is determined by the number of homes on the market divided by the average number of sales in a month.

The end result is an average time frame for the current inventory to be sold.

In Westport’s case, our townwide absorption rate for the last three-month rolling sales period is currently just under eight months, as compared to 10 months in the prior four to six month period.
