With the Westport real estate market heating up, one question always seems to pop up from buyers actively looking—“How many homes should we see before submitting an offer on one we like?”

Maybe the bigger question is “Should you still see other homes even though the first or second home that you saw seems perfect in every way?”

According to a recent study by the National Association of Realtors, buyers spend an average of four months looking online before they begin the physical search process.

So even though there are very few homes that a buyer may actually visit, there are many online views that should not be forgotten about.
