Hello,
September always feels like a fresh chapter here in Westport. Back-to-school, back-to-work, back to busy schedules. It’s a month of transition for so many of us. Our town bustles again with carpools, sports practices, and college kids heading off, leaving some parents adjusting to the new rhythm of being empty nesters. It’s an exciting season, but also a reminder to be gentle with ourselves and kind to others. Everyone is juggling something, so let’s take a little extra care, whether that’s driving cautiously around school buses or simply sharing a smile with a neighbor.
We’re also so fortunate to live in a community with such outstanding schools; places that not only prepare our kids for bright futures but also help make Westport one of the most sought-after towns in the area. For families, that’s a tremendous gift; for homeowners, it’s one of the strongest pillars of lasting property value.
And if you’re entering this stage of life with a quieter house, it may be the perfect opportunity to explore new possibilities, whether downsizing, investing, or finding a home that better matches your next chapter.
In the local real estate market, demand remains steady, especially for homes in prime locations near schools, town, and the beach. Inventory is still tight, which means sellers are well-positioned to take advantage of motivated buyers. At the same time, buyers who come prepared and strategic continue to find great opportunities to put down roots in this wonderful community.
Whether you’re thinking about making a move this fall or simply curious about the value of your home, I’d love to be a resource. Let’s talk about how I can help you navigate the market with confidence and ease every step of the process, including getting your house ready for market. CALL ME NOW!

Above is an overview of the residential market in Westport, CT for August 2025. It shows Months of Inventory, Sold to List Price, Median Days on the market and the Median Sold Price for houses and condos. I will discuss each point in further detail below
|
|
|
Currently Westport is experiencing seller’s market with 2.73 months of inventory.This means there are fewer homes available for sale, which typically leads to increased competition among buyers. The seller’s market is further underscored by the significant decrease in inventory, with a 39% drop over the past month and a 50% decrease over the last year. This shrinking inventory suggests that homes are being purchased quickly, and there are fewer options for buyers to choose from.
|
|
|
The sold -to-list price ratio in Westport is around 102%. This means homes are selling above their listing price by 2%.This indicates strong demand and potentially competitive bidding situations.Buyers should anticipate potentially offering more than the asking price. Particularly for highly sought after homes, and budget accordingly.
|
|
|
The median days on the market for homes in Westport is 93, reflecting a relatively steady pace.while this might seem like a moderate timeframe, in a seller’s market, desirable homes can still sell quickly. It is important for buyers to thoroughly research the activity in the market and be ready to make informed offers to avoid missing out on opportunities
|
|
|
Lastly, the median sold price in Westport stands at $2,545,000. This figure is crucial for setting price expectations and understanding the affordability landscape in the area. Knowing this, buyers can better align their financial planning with the realities of purchasing a home in Westport.

August was extra special for me, as I was lucky enough to spend time in Seattle with my kids and grandkids—soaking up family moments that I’ll always cherish. Now, as the season shifts, I’m excited to welcome the crisp air, colorful foliage, and all the wonderful traditions that fall in Westport brings.
