In WESTPORT
Single-Family HomesSales are DOWN 8% from 39 to 36 homes sold.
The Median Sale Price is UP 27% from $1,100,000 to $1,401,500.

In FAIRFIELD
Single-Family HomesSales are UP 70% from 56 to 70 homes sold.
The Median Sale Price is UP 10% from $645,250 to $712,500.
Inventory is DOWN 46% from 426 to 231 homes for sale.
Months of Supply is DOWN 66% from 7 months to 2!
Market Time is DOWN 39% from 107 to 65 days.
The trend of extremely low inventory, increasing median sale price, and short market time continues through April into May, though we are seeing more homes come on the market. The strong buyer demand in the face of this limited choice is still causing frequent multiple offer situations and has even slowed the rate of sales in Westport compared to April 2020.
Opportunities are here for both buyers and sellers, but the market can unquestionably benefit from more sellers entering the market! Vaccines are here, spring is here, interest rates remain low, and buyers are circling. If you have been wondering, yes, now is the time to sell!
