JAN TOPIC: What the new year is already revealing about our local market.

 

As the year begins many people assume the real estate market is quiet, but that’s not always the case here in Westport. Early activity often sets the tone for the months ahead, especially among motivated buyers and sellers who value strategy over timing with lower inventory and less competition. January can quietly reward those who act with intention.

MARKET SNAPSHOT:

MARKET RECAP:

  • Well priced homes are seeing excellent value with serious, motivated buyers.

 

  • Prepared buyers have opportunities to negotiate, be selective, and find the right fit without the frenzy seen in past years.

 

JANUARY SELLER TIP:

Homes that come to market early in the year, often benefit from reduced competition and highly focused buyers.

 

JANUARY BUYER TIP:

January buyers are typically serious and well qualified a strong position for thoughtful negotiation.

HOUSE of the MONTH:

3 Hickory Hill Road,

Westport

 

This month's featured home reflects what today’s buyers value most: layout, light, and location. This New Construction home is a great example of how preparation and pricing drive results.

WHAT'S HAPPENING LOCALLY?

  • January is the perfect time to take a class at our amazing Westport Library with a myriad classes for babies, toddlers, teens and adults.
  • Hearing great things about Sarah Sadie Newitt Pilates in Westport. Where every class is intentional & women come together to celebrate effort & grow together.
  • Can’t wait to check out Blu Olive! The new Mediterrian Itailian restaurant across from the Train Station.

JILLIAN'S JAN TIP:

Embrace the calm. January is Westport’s best-kept secret for peaceful beach walks, cozy dinners out, and getting a head start on spring plans

Warmly,

 

Jillian
