April 2025

APRIL 2025

April is here! And that means new beginnings! I love this time of year because I feel like Westport really shines and comes alive in the spring. The golfers are already out at Longshore, the dogs at Compo are being replaced by beachgoers, the playground will soon be revitalized, and all the sports fields in town are filled with young athletes, honing their competitive skills. Soon the scent of beautiful flowers popping up will fill the warming air. Purchasing my summer beach pass as a Westport resident always fills me with a sense of gratitude.

The spring real estate market already feels like it is coming alive as well, although there is uncertainty and the housing market is in a weird place.. Tariffs are big in the news and last week mortgage rates hit their lowest level since October 2024, 6.52% nationally for a 30 -year fixed rate. This may be good news for buyers but it may not last because tariffs are expected to push up inflation which leads to higher interest rates.. If you are thinking of buying now might be good tike to jump in while the rates are lower.I I can help you get pre approved,, determine what you really want in a new home and educate you on our market so that when the right home presents itself you are ready to act decisively.

Sellers should take offers seriously as buyers are serious. There is always opportunity where there is fear and uncertainty. I am here to educate you on the market and get your house ready for market. If you are ready to move ahead CALL ME NOW!

This month always brings the beginning of crazy busy spring schedules and jam packed long days when family members are coming and going at all hours of the day and it's hard to find time for family gatherings or even family meals together. Fortunately this month also brings April Break for Westport Schools so that is a great opportunity for family time even if you are not traveling. It's a wonderful time to get out and enjoy Westport and all the wonderful amenities our town offers, especially in the Spring. Also both Passover and Easter holidays are celebrated this month, so I am really looking forward to spending some reflective and special time with my family. I wish you all very happy holiday celebrations.

Additionally, April is typically the kickstart to the active spring real estate market and it's already starting to pop!. So, if you are thinking of selling, buying or building it's time to contact me!
