Real Estate Report: Price Reduction Does Not Signal Distressed Seller

By Judy Szablak

Special to WestportNow

Whether buying or selling a home in Westport, appropriate pricing for the market is of the utmost importance.

Experts rely on prior similar sales in the neighborhood, and/or of similar homes.

Arriving at a price as compared to another home that is currently active does not indicate value, as an owner can ask any price they wish for their home.

The property needs to sell before it can be considered as a comparable for value.
