Now may be the time to buy a home in Westport. It looks like the Westport market has found the bottom and is beginning its recovery. In January of 2009 we had 66 months of inventory, whereas now we have about 15 months of inventory on the market.

This also may be the time to sell your house in Westport. Now that there is less inventory there is less competition in the marketplace. Price your home competitively to ensure that the buyer perceives value. Don’t overprice your home and have it sell your competition.

Buyers are out in the market and going to Open Houses

Don’[t wait to put your house on the market. Act now and attract one of the buyers that is in the market now.
