This Month’s Insight:
What Is “Luxury Compression”—And Are We Seeing It Here?
This month in Westport, the median price for single-family homes fell 13.5% YOY, which might seem alarming—but here's what’s really happening:
Luxury Compression refers to the trend where fewer ultra-high-end homes (say, $4M+) are closing, while homes in the lower-luxury tier (around $1.8M–$2.5M) dominate sales activity. This compresses the range of luxury pricing toward the mid-upper segment, thereby pulling the median price down even though demand is still strong.
In other words, the luxury market isn’t slowing—it’s shifting. Buyers are becoming more price-conscious, and sellers in the $2M–$3M range are seeing strong results if they price strategically.
