Olin Howland Way Sale Leads Westport's $2.45 Million July Market

Westport recorded 48 property transfers between July 3 and Aug. 1, but only 28 listed a sale price. Among those, prices ranged from $50,000 to $2,450,000, with a median of $802,500. The month's top sale was 7 Olin Howland Way at $2,450,000, sold by Karal Ranch LLC to Randy E. Gifford. A notable pattern: 20 of the 48 transfers, including a five-property portfolio sold by Timothy L. Barreira for $875,000 per parcel, involved same-name or trust-related transfers rather than disclosed open-market sales, meaning the raw transfer count overstates traditional buying and selling activity in town.
