Westport homeowners:Westport presents a tale of two markets.First, for sellers with properly staged and competitively priced listings. The market remains strong. For example, a recent Westport listing with a market value of around $3.25 million was listed at only $3.1 million. This sparked a frenzy of multiple offers and closed for over 3.5 million, all cash with no contingencies. A seller’s dream.On the other hand, the unstaged or overpriced listings, even those priced at market value, tend to sit in the market longer, giving buyers more leverage and negotiation power. Unlike the market of 2021 and 2022, when it seemed everything – even a cardboard box – would sell; today’s market is much more selective.Many buyers, frankly, struggle to see the potential in unstaged homes and simply ig...

As a real estate professional, I am often contacted by people that are looking to rent. However, more often than not, owners are looking for at least a 1 year lease mininum, preferably no pets and strong credit history. That is what is generally posted on the Smart MLS, which most real estate agents use to feature their clients property.Fortunately, there are other options in the Danbury area for those that might not want to commit to a full 1 year lease and may have pets.  The communities also might have more flexible security deposit policies and might have some sort of move in-special incentives to get apartments rented. If you go this route, please ask for a detailed list of fees that are in addition to the rent, and read the lease for any early move out penalties and what the rent ...
