Westport is nice, but more expensive. Overall in Connecticut since 1980, the population has grown about 25% but housing has not kept up, hence our housing shortage. I don’t expect it to go away for a while.

Yeah and unfortunately some people are taking advantage of that which is expected. Just yesterday I saw a house in Fairfield (06825) that needed a good amount of updates and they were asking like 950K. I wouldn't pay 500K for that house. Just gotta keep our fingers crossed. Seems like Newtown has a lot of nice homes in our price range as well.

Houses are worth what people will pay for them. If you think something is truly overpriced (I.e. it’s been sitting on the market for a while) you can always try to make a lower offer.
