In an effort to protect families’ addresses being placed directly into online search engine results, we do not publish the buyers’ and sellers’ names of transferred addresses. This has proven beneficial for domestic violence victims and other families who may require added protection against unwanted public contact. All names are still publicly available above via the link to the Town of Westport Town Clerk’s full transfer report.
From the Editor: Although frustrating when you may need to update mailing lists or learn about the comings and goings of your neighbors, an email of thanks from one mother escaping a domestic violence situation has solidified the benefit of this small change when purchasing their home in Westport. With so much publicly available personal information, this is a change that I’ve been happy to continue since our launch in December 2020. It allows for an accurate pulse on the real estate market while supporting our newest Westporters along with our retiring Westporters.
