Special to WestportNowFor sale signs are not necessarily indicative of the state of the market in Westport, nor do they represent all homes for sale in town.
When one drives around Westport looking for properties, they are apt to see many more homes that appear to be available for sale, but actually are not.
Conversely, there are also many homeowners that choose not to have a sign in the front yard.
Consider the fact that there are currently 280 homes for sale, and another 48 homes under some stage of deposit. Oftentimes, the for sale sign remains up until the time of closing, and there is not always a rider that makes it clear that the home is in fact under deposit.
An application is in process for a permit to demolish the house at 27 Long Lots Lane, off Long Lots Road. Built in 1938, the 1,829-square-foot, one-story ranch is located on a .28-acre lot.The house was also featured as WestportNow’s Teardown of the Day on Sept. 4, 2008, but the permit was never acted upon. Because the house was built more than 50 years ago, the application will be reviewed by the Historic District Commission. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com

The highly touted Elm Street land swap that would have netted the town nine additional parking spaces and have been a boon to the downtown and the Bedford Square project was scrapped last week for economic reasons, developer David Waldman said today.
“The economics just didn’t work for me, and as a developer I had to let it go,” said Waldman, principal of David Adam Realty who is heading up the nearby Bedford Square Project.
Waldman’s plan to put up a $7 million building on a piece of the town’s Baldwin Parking Lot at 36 Elm St. in exchange for property he had an option to buy at 35 Elm St. across the road had been supported by First Selectman Jim Marpe.
Pitched as the last leg in the revitalization of the downtown, the planned land swap received a positive report from the Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) at its Sept. 29 meeting. (See WestportNow Sept. 29, 2016)
