OCTOBER 2024

from my desk to your door...
Open grassy field with scattered trees, backlit by the low sun.

October skies are shining bright! While we have certainly been blessed lately with lovely early fall weather, we support our friends in the South that just keep getting hit by major hurricanes and storms. If you would like to help out our southern neighbors in need donate to the American Red Cross or Project Hope here.

 

Meanwhile, locally here in Westport we are getting ready for Halloween and all the fun festivities that the fall season brings to this part of the country. So many things to do: how about a daytrip to a local pumpkin patch and jump on a hayride while your at it, or apple picking, an Octoberfest Beer Garden visit or long drive checking out the beautiful fall foliage here in the Northeast.

 

Once Halloween comes and goes, it's suddenly the Holiday Season, so right now is the perfect time to reach out to me so I can help you get your house in order if you are thinking of selling before the market slows down over the winter months.

 

Whether you want to sell, build or purchase a new home, right now is the time to do it. If you want to get the best deal, there is no time to waste so CALL ME NOW! Follow me at jillian.klaff.realtor on instagram for my latest listings and real estate tips.

WESTPORT MARKET TRENDS:

 

The real estate market is currently experiencing a low inventory with a months supply of inventory at 3.19. This means that at the current rate of sales, it would take approximately 3.19 months to sell all the available homes on the market.
The 12-month change in months of inventory has decreased by 21.81%, indicating that the market has become more competitive and homes are selling at a faster pace compared to the previous year. This trend suggests a strong demand for housing in the area.
The median days homes are on the market is 32, which is relatively low and further supports the notion that properties are moving quickly. Sellers can expect a relatively swift sale of their homes if priced competitively.
The list to sold price percentage is 103.4%, indicating that homes are selling for slightly above their listing price. This suggests that there is strong competition among buyers, leading to bidding wars and ultimately driving up prices.
The median sold price in the area is $1,600,000, reflecting a healthy real estate market with high-value properties. Buyers should be prepared for a competitive market and potentially higher prices.
Overall, the data indicates a strong seller's market with low inventory, quick sales, and high prices. Buyers should act quickly and be prepared to make competitive offers, while sellers can expect a favorable selling environment with the potential for above-listing price offers.
