What does this mean if you are selling in Weston, CT?

Weston, CT is a town with 2-acre zoning, larger lots, and highly ranked public schools all on one campus. It has no train station in town, so buyers here are typically driving the Merritt Parkway. That buyer profile tends to be less rate-sensitive than a first-time buyer, but they are not immune to a 7.32% rate either. The homes winning multiple offers right now are the ones in good condition, priced slightly below where the seller hopes to land, and ready to show from day one. The homes sitting are the ones that tested the ceiling.
